From their bumpf:
The common amenity space will include communal urban garden areas, as well as utilizing inventive areas in every suite for growing. Also, an on-site cistern will be utilized for irrigation rather than letting it run-off into the sewer system and more efficient building material & practices are utilized wherever possible. Then beyond the bricks and mortar, there’s the living local lifestyle. The great shopping and restaurants are great, but transportation is a big part of it all too. You can bike most anywhere. And biking is a big part of our “sustainable transport” plan at The Plant. That’s why we have a heated bike parking lobby area and a bike repair zone. Streetcars are a stroll away too. So, getting to and from work and getting around town has never been easier.
