OK, so Kermit the Frog was bang on. It's not that easy being green. But it just got a whole lot cheaper, especially for those industrial and corporate clients planning to move their operations into the 51st Avenue Building Park in south Edmonton.
In a climate of rising energy costs, those who've opted to purchase warehouse or office space in this ultra-modern and super-versatile business complex can kiss those annoying utility bills goodbye.
Occupants will enjoy the utmost in climate-controlled comfort when they move their enterprise into these magnificent units, individually heated and cooled by environmentally friendly geothermal technology.
How does it work? Each unit is warmed and air-conditioned in turn, by means of an underground water and ethanol-based circulation system that collects warm or cool air from beneath the earth, then transports it back above ground. Technically, there's much more to the process, but those are the essential facts.
"You can forget all about paying your gas bill," nods John Clarke, construction manager for Guild Developments Inc. We're talking about a tremendous economical advantage here. Based on conservative estimates, those who purchase space at The Park stand to save thousands on annual heating and air-conditioning costs.
"Each unit is individually metered as well. That means you have complete control of the temperature in your own space," Clarke chips in.
Apart from straight dollars and cents, geothermal ventilation means wall-to-wall comfort in an office or warehouse space that brings you the ultimate in climate control, as well as a seven-year performance warranty. All that's required is minimal and occasional maintenance touch-ups on the geothermal heat pump. But don't let that worry you. Clarke equates the complexity of the job to changing the air-flow filter on your residential furnace.
"We're pleased to be bringing such an environmentally sound complex to the Edmonton marketplace, no question," Clarke adds. "But there's more to it than that. We sincerely believe this is a superior system. It's efficient, cost-effective and comfortable."
And talking of comfortable, the front two buildings are attached directly to the underground parkade, while buildings three and four have elevators directly to the underground parkade.
Meanwhile, triple-glazed windows and an additional two inches of acrylic stucco insulation built into exterior walls add to the energy-efficiency of these state-of-the-art buildings, to be ready for occupancy by late fall of 2007.
An ecological showplace, the 51st Avenue Building Park meets all the other criteria for an outstanding real estate investment. Near the top of the list is the location, on prime property that offers ready access to the Whitemud Freeway, Calgary Trail and downtown. The Park will consist of four separate concrete and steel structures - three buildings will be a combination of warehouse and office space while the fourth, which will front on 51st Avenue, will feature offices only, with underground parking available.
"Pretty hard to beat, when you think about it," Clarke continues. "We'll be situated in a high-traffic location. As a matter of fact, it's one of the last pieces of vacant land available anywhere on this street."
In short, we're talking about a prime southside office/warehouse location that has already drawn interest from physicians, lawyers, insurance brokers, financial planners and other potential end-users who know a terrific site when they see it.
Situated to take advantage of 51st Avenue access, The Park utilizes steel and concrete construction and offers a pleasing variety of floor plans intended to meet the needs of a broad variety of occupants.
Warehouse units are equipped with 200-ampere, 3-phase power capability and range in size from 1,412 sq. ft. to a maximum of 2,800 sq. ft. Not enough room to accommodate your expanding workforce? Never fear. If you act quickly, multiple units are still available to meet your specific requirements.
Meanwhile, office units range from 795 sq. ft. all the way up to 2,556 sq. ft. Again, those in need of additional space are welcome to purchase additional adjacent units.
Construction on this superb complex is due to launch in early spring, although geothermal drilling has already started. Meanwhile, pre-sales have rapidly kicked in. Needless to say, the addition of such a quality project to Edmonton's extremely robust industrial market has already generated plenty of interest.
