The Residences at Central Park earns top honors for sustainable living in Canada

In a significant win for sustainable urban living, The Residences at Central Park in Toronto, Canada, has been awarded the IPAX Americas Property Award for “Best Sustainable Residential Development in Canada.” This prestigious recognition, given to Amexon Development Corporation, rewards a visionary project committed to energy efficiency, eco-friendly design, and a healthy, modern lifestyle for residents.

Situated in Toronto’s desirable Central Park community, Amexon’s award-winning Residences—a 12-acre master-planned development with five towers—exemplifies sustainable residential design. Notably, it is North America’s first large-scale residential project to provide EV charging stations for every parking space, boasting over 1,500 chargers. This pioneering feature positions the development as a model for sustainable urban communities across the continent. The community also includes advanced amenities, expansive green spaces, and energy-saving innovations that align with the growing demand for environmentally friendly living solutions.

A focal point of the development is its extensive use of sustainable materials and design practices, which reduce energy consumption and waste. The residences incorporate advanced energy management systems, rainwater recycling, and solar energy solutions. These innovations enhance the building’s efficiency and help lower residents’ utility costs and carbon footprint.

The IPAX award celebrates projects that embody excellence in architecture, interior design, and overall environmental impact. Winning this accolade places The Residences at Central Park among North America’s top sustainable residential projects, emphasizing Amexon’s commitment to forward-thinking, environmentally responsible urban development. 

“This recognition further solidifies our company’s leadership in environmentally focused design and innovation,” said Ashling Evans, General Manager of Real Estate at Amexon Development Corporation, in a recent press release. “It’s a testament to our ongoing commitment to sustainability and forward-thinking design.”
