possible. According to Li, their goal is to help the people living there “pay minimal utility fees.” To help even more with that goal, they will equip all condo units with an independent utility submetering system which records the net amount used. “So it’s a very energy-efficient building, but at the same time it’s a very posh facility,” Li adds – and the list of amenities proves his point. That list includes: a 10,000-square-foot indoor and outdoor clubhouse with hot and cold open air spa, Chef’s Kitchen, roof terrace for BBQ parties and sunbathing, a gymnasium with state-of-theart fitness equipment and a dog-washing station. “Our hope is that the project becomes the newest waterfront landmark in Windsor,” Li says. Finally, a little further down the pipeline is Colchester Heights, which is estimated to be completed by the end of 2025. That development represents a bit of a departure for Horizons Group – instead of condo towers, that project comprises 52 thoughtfully designed raised ranchstyle homes, “each embodying a commitment to eco-friendly living.” In Li’s words, these residences will “seamlessly blend sustainability with modern elegance, boasting a harmonious fusion of comfort and environmental consciousness.” The homes in Colchester Heights will also come with an additional dwelling unit, which can be rented out to offset the cost of the home or as an additional source of income. The main-level unit, offering an expansive 1,500 square feet of saleable space, allows residents to choose between two or three bedrooms, complemented by an additional room on the lower level. The lower-level unit, spanning approximately 1,000 square feet, stands as a self-contained, private two-bedroom haven carefully-oriented to optimize natural light. Each residence also comes equipped with a covered two-car garage featuring an EV battery charger – which, again, Li calls “an embodiment of our commitment to a sustainable and forwardthinking lifestyle.” Location-wise, Colchester Heights lies immediately south of Essex County Road 50 – a popular wine route along the north shore of Lake Erie – and just steps away from Colchester Center where a beautify beach and a mariner lie. “Colchester is the perfect area for unwinding and enjoying the outdoors,” Li describes. “And with many restaurants, shops and wineries all within a 10 minute drive, residents will be able to relax and truly enjoy the best Colchester has to offer.” THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA
