Quarry Glen, located in Orleans, is a new condominium project from Minto. The condo community is currently under construction with units now available for sale, ranging in price from $189,900 to over $238,100. The buildings are located on the site of a vacant quarry and aim to bring renewal and growth to the neighbourhood. In addition to the condo community, new parks, ponds, and natural landscapes will be added to the area, providing buyers with a scenic escape within a neighbourhood that also provides access to many convenient amenities.
The suites and the buildings vary in style, appealing to a wide range of potential buyers, who can choose from gallery condo suites or terrace townhomes. The units themselves offer a variety of different features, depending on floor plan and pricing, and most offer upgraded countertops and backsplashes in addition to ceramic flooring in the kitchens and bathrooms. Many suites feature hardwood flooring in the living and dining areas as well as the master bedrooms. Depending on the style of unit, buyers can choose from floor plans ranging from 644 square feet to over 1,400 square feet.
Minto’s website describes Quarry Glen as a one-of-a-kind quarry community and a reflection of good urban planning, adding that existing roads and transit services are utilized while more new natural areas are created. The community has been designed to be pedestrian, bike, and transit-friendly, allowing buyers who prefer the conveniences of an urban setting to find a home for a more affordable price. The pedestrian-friendly neighbourhood offers quick access to schools, shopping, transit, and recreational paths. Bike parking and storage is also offered on-site.
Environmentally-conscious buyers can also find comfort in Minto’s Construction Waste Recycling program, which achieves a 75% diversion from landfills according to their website. In addition to rock from the quarry being used in construction, recycled aggregate is used for road construction when building the new community. There is also effort placed on creating naturalized landscaping and storm water design, to help build a more natural habitat. Room is provided for natural spaces, drought-resistant sod is to be used, and parking areas feature rainwater infiltration gardens. Each home will also target LEED Certification, saving buyers an average of 30% on home energy and water usage.
At Quarry Glen, buyers will be able to appreciate the savings on their energy costs, while at the same time enjoying an active urban lifestyle in a suburban setting.
