A comprehensive community defined by modern architecture and forward-thinking environmental features, Westwood Gardens brings urban sophistication to the centre of Richmond Hill. Served by an abundant network of cultural amenities and transit connections, the 15-storey development at 8868 Yonge Street in the sought-after Richvale neighbourhood caters to discerning homebuyers seeking a comprehensive and sustainable lifestyle.

Featuring a modern stone-clad building envelope designed by KIRKOR Architects and Planners, Westwood Gardens is crafted to meet the needs of two primary cohorts: homebuyers looking to downsize from their luxury home in the surrounding neighbourhood, and young professionals wanting to live in a central location within the Greater Toronto Area. A variety of units offer practical solutions for both of these groups, including a collection of two-storey ground-oriented townhomes replete with landscaped patios, private entrances, and bespoke interior finishes.

A carefully designed amenities program provides residents with contemporary conveniences, recreational activities, and social opportunities. The east building is themed around active lifestyles, with a sports court, weight room, and a dry sauna among the expansive list of features. A pet washing station, catering kitchen, and sprawling rooftop terraces with barbecues and dining spaces crown the experience. The approach to the west building is more subdued, with a fitness centre, yoga studio, catering kitchen, pet washing station and a media lounge available to residents.

Collecdev’s commitment to green technology and sustainable living is on full display at Westwood Gardens, where a geothermal energy system will be deployed to reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions by over 70 percent compared to a conventional building, also saving more than five million litres of water every year. Installation of the system will also reduce operation and maintenance costs, greatly decreasing events of unexpected energy fluctuations and equipment repairs that traditionally lead to increased condo fees over the life of the building. In contrast to variable natural gas and electricity costs, the geothermal energy system benefits from a fixed thirty-year agreement which guarantees significant stability and predictability in the building’s yearly operational budget.

Landscaped green roofs help reduce the urban heat island effect, while a high wall-to-window ratio maximizes building insulation and energy savings. A tri-sort waste chute, stormwater runoff recycling, energy efficient appliances, automated lighting sensors, and electric vehicle charging stations are green gestures that ultimately prove how development and the environment can thrive together.
