A Great Investment
Why buy a building of the past, when you can invest in a building of the future?
A condo is more than a home — it’s a big investment. Going green gives you numerous financial benefits.
• Energy: Every month, for as long as you own your home, you will save money on your energy bills. As the price of energy increases in the coming years, residents of Abondance La Terre will find that their home operating costs will be much lower than those of most Canadian home owners.
• Maintenance. In a very real sense, green building is all about quality. This includes making your home more robust and durable than standard.
• Resale value. Green buildings have higher resale values and rental rates.
• Better value. We kept things simple. We invested in “good bones” — better building envelope and energy systems — instead of overpriced fashion finishes. For example, better insulation and windows minimize the need for heating and cooling, and this will remain true no matter how often you change the interior of your home to make it more personal.
• The building is designed to easily accommodate future energy upgrades, making it possible to save even more on energy into the future.
• Neighbourhood: The community has convenient access to the downtown, unmatched green spaces, and a lack of noise and congestion found in other urban neighbourhoods. The full value of this community is not currently reflected in the home prices, making this an excellent investment choice.
