Commercial Drive; hip, cool and Vancouver’s most bike friendly community can boast of being home to the “Tesla” of new home construction. Welcome to Dimex Group’s Templeton - a diverse selection of carefully curated Passive Homes that are “all electric” and will save you at least $15,000 over 10 years on heating as well as being the most environmentally friendly, comfortable, healthiest homes on the market.
“Passive homes create the most comfortable homes, with filtered fresh air, even heating throughout the home and ensures that your heating costs are substantially reduced,” says Gordana Plemic our Sales Director of Dimex Group and VP of Dimex Realty. “Our resale value in the future will be substantially higher as the city increases their code requirements for new homes.”
Templeton is a sophisticated collection of 20 European-inspired three-bedroom townhomes, a small selection of one-bedroom garden homes, as well as a four-storey wood frame condo building featuring 40 one, two and three bedrooms with an option of a lock off suite in some of their homes.
The attention to design is just as impressive. Templeton’s chef-inspired kitchens feature Fisher & Paykel fridge, Bosch induction oven, generous storage, including integrated pull-out cabinet organizer system, Quartz countertop with matching full height backsplash, and luxury wide plank vinyl flooring to expansive patios and terraces — the homes at Templeton exude form and function to create a place you’ll love immediately, and continue to love for years to come.
Families with young children will appreciate the safety of its induction cooktops, which not only reduce your carbon footprint; they are cool to the touch for little ones.
“We have seen a surprising response from the health care community based on the health benefits of living in a Passive home,” says Gordana Plemic. “With so many unknowns in our future, I think it's important to prepare ourselves for potential energy costs increasing and ensure that we have homes that provide us with healthy air to breath. “
When it comes to accessibility, Templeton scores high yet again. Ideally situated within blocks of both SkyTrain and B-Line. In addition, for health care workers at Vancouver General and BC Children’s, the upcoming completion of the Broadway Skytrain as well as the upcoming move of the St. Paul’s Hospital to the Main Street site, means Templeton will be a five-minute walk and five-minute ride to work. It also has easy access to numerous parks including Trout Lake's Community Centre.
For young families, Templeton is a short walk to eight excellent schools, like Lord Nelson and Laura Secord Elementary and Vancouver Technical and Templeton Secondary. St. Francis Assisi, Our Lady of Sorrows, Notre Dame and Stratford Hall are also easily assessable.
Innovators, forward-thinkers, Dimex Group’s strong commitment to innovation, functionality, and sustainability with its Passive House construction has made them leaders in the field.
“Instead of responding to potential energy crisis or unruly weather patterns and other challenges that the earth may present us, we our partnering up with our planet, reducing our carbon footprint and contributing to the future while not compromising our comfort and convenience and also saving a substantial amount of money,” says Gordana Plemic, adding that each home features triple glazed tilt and turn windows and doors with insulated frames.
