CENTRAL s design emphasis starts in Phase 1, with the sophisticated way in which we treat the former Metropolitan Bible Church, wrapping it in a light, brick and glass envelope that respects its solid historic frontage, without slavishly replicating it. Phase 2 of CENTRAL takes our design orientation across McLeod Street, extending our modern contextual architecture south along Bank Street. Sophisticated, high-concept design also infuses our interiors from open, light-filled spaces; to the use of interesting, forward-thinking materials; to loft-inspired features and flow. CENTRAL s public areas, which include spectacular 17 high entrance lobbies, landscaped courtyards, and high design amenity spaces, are also bold statements about the centrality of good design.

Walk a few blocks to the north here is the city s downtown and parliamentary precinct, a short commute to the office. Two blocks to the south is the Glebe fashionable, hip, one of Ottawa s top urban neighbourhoods. And in between, a budding district of shops, restaurants and leafy residential streets.

10 CENTRAL to the future of our planet Your choice of a home today has a major impact on the environmental of tomorrow. CENTRAL will be among Ottawa s most environmentally advanced condominiums. From the site itself to the materials used to build it to its high level of energy efficiency, CENTRAL will be a leader in environmental design. CENTRAL has been registered with the Canada Green Building Council as a LEED Silver building. The process to obtain LEED Silver is a long one, starting with the initial site selection and building design, and continuing past construction to the actual operation of the building. This ensures that key environmental and sustainability issues are addressed not only on paper, but also in the real world that is an on-going fully occupied building. As a LEED Silver development, CENTRAL 1 & 2 will include the following key sustainability features: What is LEED? LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a point-based green building rating system, a recognized, standardized way for the building industry to assess a building s environmental sustainability. Central is being developed on a dense urban site, close to public transit, using existing municipal infrastructure smart urban development is probably the single most important step we can take in ensuring that we build sustainable communities for the future All units will be individually utility metered, allowing occupants to control their energy use and be rewarded for an energy conscious lifestyle Central will have vegetated green roofs and rain water storage systems, allowing rainwater to be collected and used for on-site irrigation as well as an on-site car wash. The collection and use of rainwater on-site has a major benefit of reducing and possibly eliminating storm-water runoff into the city s stormwater system All lofts will have dual flush toilets, and water efficient faucets and shower-heads; sustainable, hardwood flooring; and zero VOC-emitting paints and low-emitting coatings, adhesives, sealants and flooring Central residents will benefit from membership in a hybrid car share program Overall energy usage will be reduced by an estimated 35% (as against the Model National Energy Code for Buildings), by using energy efficient windows and lighting, Energy Star appliances, high efficiency boilers, and heat recovery ventilators (HRVs) that recover heat typically exhausted from suites. HRVs have the added benefit of bringing in fresh air directly from the outside, rather than through the corridors, as is typically the case in non-leed buildings An advanced recycling system will be installed in each building, allowing residents to separate recyclable materials at source Full building life-cycle commissioning will be put in place, reducing callbacks and complaints, and ensuring that the building and all its equipment operate at the optimum performance level, so that all efforts in design and execution actually bear fruit A comprehensive education and training program will be put into effect upon building completion to ensure that all residents understand the benefits of the sustainability features of their building, and will be able to take full advantage of them
