With homeownership increasingly out of step with local incomes, Purpose Built Rental housing represents a possible—and sometimes beneficial—alternative to homeownership.

What's more, all rental units at 520 Normandy have been designed to increase livability through both form and function, ultimately supporting long-term tenancies.
Net Zero Ready
520 Normandy is designed to meet the highest level of the BC Energy Step Code—an innovative regulatory policy that is used to incentivize the level of energy efficiency in new construction that goes above and beyond the requirements.
While the lower steps of the code are intended to bridge current constructyion and design practices with those needed to achieve the highest steps, each step moves closer to Net Zero Ready Buildings being the province-wide standard by 2032. By committing to build to Step Code 4 before it is required, we can also demonstrate capacity building opportunities for local trades, suppliers and consultants.
Common Benefits
Each Net Zero Ready home is so energy efficient that it is able to offset all of the energy it uses by generating renewable energy on site from sources such as wind and solar energy.
