Pioneers in sustainability As mentioned earlier, Spire Development has focused on industrial developments throughout most of their history, but they have also successfully made the transition into developing multi-residential projects. Spire Landing in Vancouver is a recent and prime example of their growing capabilities in that sector. The first phase of Spire Landing comprises 95 rental units – 71 one-bedroom; 24 two-bedroom – on six floors. The most notable element of that project is its energy efficiency, as the whole building was delivered to Passive House Standards – which means it consumes up to 90 per cent less heating and cooling energy than a conventional building, while providing “unprecedented thermal balance,” “superior indoor air quality,” and “excellent protection from moisture damage and mold growth,” according to Pete.
