Built Green

Our Green Philosophy

As the largest builder of sustainable condominiums in the GTA, Tridel is committed to building communities that are environmentally responsible, energy efficient, and healthy places to live. Built Green, Built for Life™ communities like Avonshire are high-performing, meaning they use less energy but do not sacrifice comfort to the home-owner. In turn, homeowners pay less money to operate the building and their own condominium suites.

Tridel’s Built Green, Built for Life™ communities are also healthier places to live than conventional condominiums. Materials are chosen that have the lowest possible off-gassing chemicals, and advanced ventilations systems are in place to allow residents to breathe clean and fresh air. Living in a Tridel Built Green, Built for Life™ building helps homeowners reduce their ecological footprint by avoiding, on average, at least one tonne of greenhouse gas emissions per year.

At Avonshire, Tridel’s green initiatives also include the community’s shuttle bus and Autoshare rental program which will help reduce traffic congestion and air pollution within the city.
