Welcome to the Green Issue.

Verde Lofts is shaping up to be one of Calgary's most eco-friendly townhome projects, integrating the latest environmentally-responsible technology with modernist design and European styled interiors.

London at Heritage Station is the first multi-residential project to receive a Silver LEED certification (green design). It features 1,200 suites in four high-rise condo towers and a commercial base. Its proximity to the C-Train lets residents ride a bike or walk to the LRT to go downtown or to other parts of the city.

Quattro Porte (four doors in Italian) is a three-storey, four unit boutique condo in the historic and trendy neighborhood of Kensington. Peter Mauro, owner of developer New Casa Company built it green.
