Situated on 17.8 acres of land, this impressive residential complex will also include space for recreation therapy, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and spirituality. Its design incorporates modern environments to address seniors’ health and social needs while encouraging choice, independence and mobility.

Year-round climate control will be made easier thanks to geo-exchange heat systems, the primary source of heat for the site. Some residential units will also be equipped with in-floor heating. Reclamation of heat energy from exhaust air streams is an energy saving strategy woven into the property design.
