Earned Zero Carbon Building – Design (ZCB-Design) certification from the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC), dated by CaGBC's case study to Aug 7, 2020 (certification awarded for the achievement in fall 2019).

In progressDeveloper, builder and property manager
Approx. 300,000 sq ft across multiple multi-tenant warehouse buildings (315, 355, 409, 495, 499 Wilkinson Ave). First building scheduled for occupancy spring 2018. Marketed as 'a new generation of zero carbon warehouses.' Treated as in_progress/ongoing: live site lease listings still show available sq ft at 409 and 499 Wilkinson (freshness-checked 2026-06-14 against the live developments page), so the campus is built and operating but not fully built-out/leased.
