Howland Green Homes create buildings that result in big differences, not only for the homes and offices they build, but for the global environment at large. The goal of Beyond Net Zero (BNZ), or net positive, means that rather than adding to the worldwide carbon footprint, the result of Howland Green’s efforts is a measurable reduction in that footprint, leading to a cleaner and healthier atmosphere.

Howland Green accomplishes this admirable feat by designing and constructing buildings that use about 18 per cent of the normal amount of operating energy compared with other building techniques. This is done through any combination of clean renewable energy on and off site, together with the reduction of fossil fuel reliance in other locations. Not only do those buildings save owners thousands of dollars in energy and condo fees, it leaves a cleaner ecological footprint.

“We can reduce our consumption greatly and it’s relatively easy to accomplish,” says Dave de Sylva, President of Howland Green Homes. “We need to use much less energy, in general, and start using today’s energy, such as wind and solar, rather than carbon-based options.”

Now Howland Green has raised the bar by introducing the first net positive residential condominium building in Canada – Milton’s Bronte West Condominiums. “The building will produce a negative carbon footprint on the global atmosphere,” says de Sylva.

Milton’s Bronte West will be the embodiment of construction innovation and the very definition of net positive. Powered by sun and geothermal energy, it will serve as the perfect combination of ecology, economy and technological advancement.

Milton’s Bronte West is saving more than just the planet. Thanks to all its focus on conservation, it’s saving homeowners money.

Featuring some of the lowest condo fees in the country, at $0.14/sq. ft, it’s making a strong economic case for ecology as well. Traditional condo fees are approximately $0.45/sq. ft.

Therefore a 1,000-sq.-ft. condo would cost you an additional $450 a month. But at Milton’s Bronte West, true sustainability means condo fees are dramatically lower. Therefore, a 1,000-sq.ft. condo will cost you a mere $140 a month in condo fees. Just one more reason to call Milton’s Bronte West, home.

In addition to all the environmental benefits, Milton’s Bronte West offers many great amenities! This includes beautifully landscaped grounds with a variety of spaces to enjoy – a floral garden, a gazebo with BBQs and tables for family events, a playground for the kids and a fenced-in pet area for the other member(s) of your family. Inside, residents can enjoy the fully equipped fitness facility, yoga studio, party/amenity room and games room!

Milton’s Bronte West condominiums offer beautifully designed two- and three-bedroom suites, some with dens, that range in size from 1,078 to 1,607 sq. ft. and feature open-concept living with luxury finishes throughout and the latest in high efficiency appliances. Parking and lockers are included in the purchase price.

The future can be sustainable and it starts at home!

Milton’s Bronte West condominiums are located across the street from the Milton District Hospital, minutes from downtown, close to the Toronto Premium Outlets and the gorgeous Halton Hills.

The sales centre is located at 420 Bronte Street South, Suite 114, Milton. 289.851.0701
