1570 Main Street West is a 12-storey project that will contain 176 purpose-built rental units, as well as indoor and outdoor multi-use amenity spaces and a ground-level cafe. Located in Hamilton’s Ainslie Wood neighbourhood, this project is close to a variety of public amenities including schools, parks and trails, shopping, and transit.
The ground-level cafe will give residents, neighbours, and other community members a comfortable space to connect, while thoughtful landscaping will provide responsible stormwater management and support local biodiversity.
This project will be beautiful, sustainable and resilient through the use of features aimed at reducing energy demands, building costs and improving comfort.
Sustainability features include:
- High-efficiency, all-electric mechanical systems utilizing ground source heat pumps and energy recovery ventilation.
- No fossil fuels are combusted on site, reducing Scope 1 emissions to ZERO, a 100% reduction.
- Well-insulated building envelope and rigorous airtightness measures, result in efficient buildings with reduced energy consumption from the power grid, consequently reducing Scope 2 emissions.
- On-site renewable energy production via solar PV panels.
- Careful selection of low-embodied carbon building materials, including timber structure and low-GWP insulation, reduces Scope 3 emissions by approximately 50%.
- EV charging
The development at 1570 Main Street West is creating desirable rental homes designed for the 2050 climate, where key public amenities are nearby, and residents and neighbours have places to gather and connect.
