Terra View Homes is says it is gearing up for the launch of residential home sales in its NiMa Trails project in Guelph’s north end, beginning this fall.

The 34-acre project will include 360 units of multiblock and single-detached homes built to the Net Zero Ready standard in a variety of layouts,ย  from 1,700 to 3,600 sq. ft.. Theย multi-phase community infrastructure for Phase 1A and 1B is nearing completion, the company says.

The site will also include proposed commercial and office space, a community trail, three wetland areas, and a large community park.

โ€œIt is incredibly exciting to finally be launching this project and all it has to offer to those looking to purchase a new homeย in this vibrant community,โ€ Terra View Homes president David Brixsaid in a statement on Tuesday. โ€œWeโ€™re looking forward to bringing this unique addition to the Guelph residential market.โ€

The development will include Terra Condos, scheduled to break ground in the coming months. Selected as one of the 16 projects chosen to be a part of the Canada Green Building Councilโ€™s (CaGBC) Zero Carbon Building Standard pilot program in 2017, the construction of Terra will help create and inform theย CaGBCโ€™sZero Carbon Building Standard for energy efficient buildings and future building stock across the country., the developer says.

โ€œTerra Condos is set to be one of the first of its kind in Canadaโ€”a modern, socially responsible boutique condo building that leaves zero carbon footprint by drawing on green power from solar and geothermal energy sources,โ€ the statement says.

The Terra condo building will encompass fourย storeysย with 15 customizable two-bedroom condo suites in addition to one two-bedroom plus a den suite, the statement says.
