When you’re beginning to look for a home, one of the biggest areas of growth in the real estate industry is sustainable development. It may not be at the front of your mind at the moment, but trust us when we say that with small, concrete changes to the way we structure our homes, we are able to maximize the staying power and longevity of the home you love. Why not choose a home that will last, while still maintaining the style and comfort you want.
What is Sustainable Development?
Most frequently quoted from Our Common Future, “Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” Simply put, building together with a common goal in mind, and that is exactly what we’re aiming for with this project. In the context of real estate, there are a myriad of ways to make a home more sustainable, ranging from following a regular maintenance schedule, retrofitting appliances and fixtures with updated hardware which reduces electricity consumption, and using green and recycled construction materials to ensure that top to bottom, you can trust your home is safe, and so is your carbon footprint. The benefits include lower maintenance costs over the long run, a sense of pride in the health of your community, and improves resale value, studies show that a green home sells for 2.7% more than a traditionally built home, so when you’re ready to move on, you can trust that you’ll get a fair deal.

Problem solved! At Tresah West we boast a full range of electric charging stations so you can be ready for the road at any time.

Steel construction is the quicker and economical addition, structural steel can provide aesthetically pleasing customization, and the concrete foundation adds that extra level of safety, all with a truly beautiful end result.
VRF Cooling
VRF stands for Variable Refrigerant Flow, which is as complicated as we’re going to get here! Our VRF cooling systems boast the ability to keep certain areas of your home cooler than others, due to the presence of small window units as opposed to one dedicated unit in a room spreading out. Have plants with specific needs? Kids all have varying degrees of sleep needs? We have you covered.
Dedicated Green Spaces
Condo living can be one of the best ways to live, but the downside of course is lack of a yard and places to spend time outdoors near home. At Tresah Condos we have dedicated green spaces in both our East and West locations, with a covered sitting pavilion and off-leash dog running spaces so you can rest assured, you don’t have to go far to find a nice patch of green.
