The Eco4 is a very unique four unit building designed for existing 40-50 foot lots in established neighborhoods, affording excellent access to amenities and transit.  Designed by Prairie Architects these two-and-a-half-storey townhouse style condominiums are on the cutting edge of sustainable living.  Eco4 Horace, located at 193 Horace in St. Boniface, is one of the first in Canada to participate in USGBC's pilot LEED for Homes certification process.  A central hall cuts through the building from front to back and opens into a central atrium bring light into the core.  Each condo has an intimate third floor study which opens out into the private rooftop patio.

Eco4 is a dramatically sustainable residence with a durable, super insulated "double wall" system (R50) and geothermal heating and cooling.  A heat recovery ventilator provides energy efficient, excellent indoor air quality.  Eco4 also features low VOC finishes, water efficient low flow fixtures, triple pane windows, energy star-certified lighting, and low maintenance landscaping.

LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.  LEED for Homes is a rating system promoting the design and construction of high-performance green homes. A green home uses less energy, water and natural resources, creates less waste, and is healthier and more comfortable for the occupants. There are many benefits of owning a LEED home including lower energy and water bills; reduced greenhouse gas emissions; and less exposure to mold, mildew and other indoor toxins.

Our goal is to prove that the cost of owning a LEED home is very comparable to that of owing a conventional home.

The Eco4 has several other locations in the pre selling stage in excellent established neighborhoods.  Sustainable living is a step in the right direction.  Contact us today so we can make a difference in your future.
