New residents of the West Don Lands affordable housing project are eager to begin their move into the neighbourhood that has undergone enormous transformation over the past four years. The 1.7-acre mixed-use development, constructed by Toronto Community Housing, will be welcoming its first tenants in August.

Oxford Properties has launched an engagement campaign to teach its tenants energy conservation techniques.

Green roof benefits include better air quality, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, improved storm water management and economic advantages.

Experts speaking at the Green Real Estate conference in Toronto said that green building competition is leading to incremental change in the suburbs.

The new Toronto 2030 District program aims to meet the energy and emission reduction targets that are outlined in Architecture 2030.
