Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword—it’s becoming the foundation for how we build and live. At Hälsa 230 Royal York, located in Toronto’s vibrant Mimico neighbourhood, the dream of net-zero living is taking shape. Back in October, Diverso completed drilling on this groundbreaking project from Leader Lane Developments and Windmill Development Group, laying the foundation for two 8-storey, ESG-driven mass timber rental buildings.
Setting New Benchmarks in Sustainable Construction
Hälsa is more than just a project—it’s a blueprint for the future of urban living. Backed by the One Planet Living Fund, Hälsa is designed to meet TGS V4 Tier 2 standards and is actively working toward achieving LEED Platinum Certification, all while embracing the One Planet Living Framework. The development is a shining example of how thoughtful design can stand the test of time and benefit future generations.
Geothermal Energy at Its Core
At the core of the project’s net-zero and financial targets is Diverso Energy’s geothermal system. By integrating this future-proof technology, our clients have eliminated natural gas consumption, reduced electricity and water usage, and removed the need for traditional HVAC systems, cutting mechanical costs. With 30 years of maintenance-free operation and predictable energy expenses, geothermal ensures long-term financial savings and a reduced carbon footprint for Hälsa and its residents.
A Model for the Future
With the completion of drilling, Hälsa moves one step closer to becoming Toronto’s “poster child” for a carbon-neutral community. Together with our partners, we’re proving that going the extra mile for the planet isn’t just possible—it’s practical.
