EVE Park a neco-paradise nestled in London’s west-end net-zero community
Traveling west down London’s Oxford Street toward Westdel Bourne, it will emerge to the north like a shining vision of progress.
Solar panels sparkle on roof tops. Wild fescue grasses frame walking paths. A neighbourhood of shared green spaces where children play, where road shave been designed to welcome autonomous cars.
Andunder the ground, not a single gas pipe.
Here will be the home of London’s newest net- zero development, EVE Park, with the first expected occupancy in Fall 2021.
Located in London’s west end among North America’s largest net-zero community, West 5, EVE Park’s 84 units will allow you to align your green ideal sand philosophies with the place you call home.
From the air, the development looks like ringed swirls called helixes set amongst grassland and wildflowers. Inside the rings, the units are wedge-shaped with the entrance at the tip that leads to open concept living and wide, panoramic views of green community spaces.
Ashley Hammerbacher, EVE Park’s project lead and part of the s2e Technologies team that specializes in the development of smart communities and sustainable energy solutions, says that there isn’t a stereotypical buyer for the units.
“Eve park’ s appeal cuts across tr a--ditional home-buyer segments - it’s less about age and more about outlook-people who love nature, are into healthy living, people who appreciate good design and people who plan ahead,” says hammer bacher.
It’s also for everyone wanting to live in an affordable city. In Lon-don, dollars go further – much further than almost any city in Canada.
Statscan data shows you’ll need $ 6,675 in Toronto to maintain the same standard of life that you can have in London with $ 5,000 (assuming you rent in both cities). Take these savings and enjoy the EVE Park benefit of an exclusive lease rate on Tesla’s Model 3 or Y starting at $497/month.
Or, if you want to test electric vehicle life, a carsharing fleet awaits. If you already plug in your vehicle, every parking spot comes with charging.
Inside the units, every design aspect has been passionately considered. From hitech showers that use 70 per cent less water while feeling like a down pour, induction stovetops that heat instantly, and ovens that preheat in seconds, your energy foot print will be minimized the moment you move in.
Even the parking towers will be environmentally conscious. Rotary carousel-style, the tower stake up a footprint of just two parking spots with the vehicles rotated up by a chain mechanism.
There are three- bedroom unit options that will have two kitchens and living space son separate floors – perfect for families with college aged kids living at home while studying, or those in multi-gene rational families looking for independent space for older loved ones.
Set next to a flourishing and evolving commercial district, which includes Yoga and fitness studios, spas, a vet, health care services and schools, EVE Park is walkable.
After downward dogging through your morning you can walk down the street and indulge in a craft cupcake. The smoothie you make for breakfast is powered by electricity that comes from the sun. On the visioning table is a nearby grocery store and a public square.
And because you’re in London’s west end, Lake Huron’s pristine sandy beaches and camping are less than an hour drive away. Out your front door in Komoka Provincial Park there are beautiful river hikes.
And a few minutes east is London’s thriving Richmond Row entertainment district and downtown core. Craft breweries, farmers markets and arts festivals will call your name.
Perhaps the covid-19 pandemic has shifted your priorities and changed your lifestyle?
Thinking of the hours lost in commute? Struggling to find dog friendly parks, or schools with vast green spaces? Searching websites for home office inspiration?
The team behind EVE Park knows this. As visionaries, they’ve anticipated a future where people work effortlessly from home, or a park bench. Where cars are plugged in at night and streets are built to welcome autonomous vehicles. Where public health is a priority and children can roam free.
In London, things are minutes away, not hours.
“In EVE Park, every unit has a separate and safe, ground floor entrance,” says Hammerbacher. “As well, high-tech air quality sensors and HVAC systems are unique to each unit, which means you won’t be sharing air with your neighbours and units are easily adaptable for a home office.”
For many, the desire to live net- zero is there. Now, it’s never been easier and more affordable to be on the right side of environmental history.
