This four-storey condominium project is constructed of the KiwiCondoCommercial Building System, which uses solid precast concrete walls, roof and floors. The exterior walls consists of precast concrete, with a continuous insulation layer on the outside of the precast walls. Keeping the building thermally broken from the outside allows the interior structural concrete mass to provide thermal resilience to help level the peaks and valleys of temperatures during the day. In addition, the project uses photovoltaic solar panels on the roof of the building and parking structure, thermal solar panels for DHW (Domestic Hot Water) requirements, in-floor heating and cooling with geothermal ground loops taking advantage of the site’s ground water and natural surroundings.

The government of Newfoundland and Labrador has awarded the “P3” (Public, Private, Partnership) contract for a new mental health and addictions hospital in St. John’s Newfoundland to the Avalon Healthcare Partnership, who has selected Newton Group Ltd. as the Design-Builder for the Parking Structure portion of the project. The three-bay, five-level parking structure consists of 1,000 parking spaces, full height mesh guard façade, two stair towers and one elevator tower.
