Deena Homes

Abo credits the awards suc- cess to the company’s all-en- compassing focus on “quality,” which means something differ- ent to them than just providing luxury brands and more expen- sive materials. “It’s all because we are provid- ing quality,” he says. “And when some people think of ‘quality,’ they think ‘luxury,’ but we don’t. We think of quality as improv- ing the lifestyle of residents. For us, providing quality is about climate control; it’s about pro- viding the best amenities and equipment; it’s about making sure residents don’t have to wait long for the elevator. It’s about making people’s lives better.” When Abo says, ‘climate control,’ he means going above and be- yond the Vancouver standard. Other developments typically utilise two-pipe HVAC system, which offers heating one half of the year and cooling in the oth- er. At Seylynn Village, however, they use a four-pipe system, which can be custom designed to meet a wide variety of heat- ing or cooling demands all year round.
