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.
