Alba Condos, a 418-suite tower that launched last June, broke ground in downtown Mississauga. Edenshaw Developments is planning to integrate a geothermal heating and cooling system to reduce the energy required to operate the condo’s central building systems.

Geothermal buildings, such as Alba, are said to expect a carbon reduction of about 80 per cent compared to a similar building heated by natural gas, with lower maintenance fees for residents.

Alba Condos is slated for completion by the summer of 2025, with proximity to the Cooksville GO Mobility Hub, Hurontario LRT (Hazel McCallion Line), Trillium HealthWorks and Square One Shopping Centre.

Designed in conjunction with architectural firm CORE Architects and interior design firm Cecconi Simone, this tower will rise 32-storeys, and comprises over 20,000 square feet of
indoor and outdoor amenity spaces, including a substantial co-working lounge, maker’s studio, children’s play area, pet spa with connected outdoor dog run, and a wellness
centre.

“We are pleased to be commencing construction at Alba, which marks our first residential
condominium development that integrates geothermal technology within the building systems,” said David McComb, president and CEO of Edenshaw Developments. “We are proud to be part of building a sustainable future for Mississauga.
