The 308 Parkside projects will add 44 new beautiful, low-carbon and desirable one-, two- and three-bedroom rental homes surrounding the retained community building, which has been recently updated to provide new daycare space.
The site is located near the Aldershot GO Station, with convenient access to the Greater Golden Horseshoe through the Metrolinx regional transit system.
The outdoor spaces at 308 Parkside include community gardens, gathering spaces and new playground all with native plant species and thoughtful design supporting the local ecosystem.
308 Parkside has been designed with features that provide residents with climate-safe and resilient homes that provide comfort while reducing operating costs and environmental impact.
Sustainability features include:
- High-efficiency, all-electric heat pump mechanical system
- 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.
- High-performance windows for enhanced thermal comfort and lower heating demand.
- On-site renewable energy production via solar PV panels further reduces electricity consumption and consequent Scope 2 emissions by an overall 99%.
- Extensive use of low-embodied carbon building materials, including light wood framing, wood cladding and low-GWP insulation, reduces Scope 3 emissions by 67%.
- EV charging
The new community at 308 Parkside Drive will integrate with the Waterdown neighbourhood, contributing a variety of public outdoor spaces and a new daycare in the adjacent building. 308 Parkside’s unique proximity to a wide variety of community amenities makes it a prime location for comfortable and convenient living.
