Quad-Lock Multi-Unit Project Profile
Squamish, BC – This 36-unit, three-storey townhome development has been chosen by BC Ready-Mixed Concrete Association (BCRMCA) to be the 2005 'Home with a Difference' for Greater Vancouver because it appealed to the educated buyer looking for environmental improvements, reduced operating costs and sound, solid construction. Built in three phases, Phase 1 began in September 2004, followed by Phase 2 in November with Phase 3 beginning May 2005.
The Edgewater complex comprises three duplexes, three fourplexes and three sixplexes. With only 36 townhomes on this 3.5 acre property, there is a lot of green space to maintain the spacious, outdoor, serene feeling that is the Community of Squamish. Edgewater truly is the OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFESTYLE not only with home design and construction, but also its unique location. The development is only steps away from a bevy of outdoor activities including fishing, walking, hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, canoeing and much more.
The ground floor which will be used as a two car garage and storage is completely insulated with Quad-Lock Insulating Concrete Forms. The main and top floors comprise a total of 1600 sqft of living space including three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, kitchen, family room, dining room and living room.
Quad-Lock was chosen for Edgewater because it is:
- Flexible: Quad-Lock offers designers unlimited design possibilities making the modern elements of design easy to incorporate.
- Energy and Cost Efficient: Energy savings (heating and cooling) are documented to range from 40-70%
- Green: Less energy and water are used during the manufacture of Quad-Lock dramatically reducing the impact made to the environment.
- Unique: The benefits of concrete and Quad-Lock appealed to the development characteristics desired by Squamish.
These homes were part of BCRMCA's Home with a Difference promotion and open houses which offered a great way to find out for yourself why and how Quad-Lock should be part of your next building project.
