Passive House: It’s the way of the future—housing design that combines environmental stewardship, state-of-the-art quality, and sheer good looks to create homes that not only feel good, they live well.

Now there are two exciting opportunities to be part of the movement toward more sustainable living. Say hello to Templeton and Lakewood from DIMEX. These two collections of condominiums, townhomes, and garden suites are among the first to introduce this future-focused construction to East Vancouver—and homebuyers are taking note.

“People often don’t realize how many benefits Passive House design offers,” says Gwill Symons, of Cornerstone Architecture. “The soundproofing is exceptional, thanks to a high STC rating and extra insulation that blocks noise from neighbours and traffic. An HRV that recovers wasted heat and coolth and provides 24/7 fresh air also filters pollutants like dust or pollen out of the air and reduces carbon dioxide, so your home always smells fresh. Plus, state-of-the-art thermal bridging technology and high-performance windows keep the indoor temperature stable; warm in winter, cool in summer.”

Bottom line? A home that saves you as much as 90 per cent on heating and cooling bills without sacrificing a contemporary, welcoming ambience. Who says you can’t have it all?

Mortgage innovation

Need another enticement? DIMEX is working in collaboration with RBC to make owning your home easier and more affordable. Introducing the RBC Green Home Mortgage®, only available for Passive House design and homes with certain energy standards.

This innovative program allows buyers to extend their amortization period up to 35 years, so monthly payments are lower. Even better, once you’re approved, you stay approved throughout the entire construction period until your closing date.

Welcome to the neighbourhood

Long popular for its unique vibe, The Drive is a melting pot of cultures, arts, and generations. It’s a neighbourhood where high fashion and organic food markets rub shoulders with an eclectic array of art galleries, antique shops, and some of the finest coffee bistros in the city. When you visit, be sure to leave time to check out some of the many ethnic restaurants such as Havana or Carthage Café, that are part of the reason Time Out magazine listed Commercial Drive as one of the world’s 30 coolest streets.

Lakewood offers three-bedroom townhomes, while Templeton is comprised of two- and three-bedroom condos and townhomes.

Two-bedroom homes starting at $879,900. Check them out at the DIMEX presentation centre, open by appointment only at 610 – 1155 West Pender Street in downtown Vancouver. Tel. 604.629.9985 or visit templetonliving.ca or lakewoodliving.ca to learn more.
