GEOcentral Launch: Kingston's Landmark Geo-Exchange Building
Grand Opening of GEOcentral: Pioneering Sustainable Living
Podium Developments has proudly introduced GEOcentral, an exceptional rental building that sets a new standard in sustainable urban living. Officially opened in Kingston, this groundbreaking development represents a significant milestone in the region's commitment to eco-friendly and innovative housing solutions.
An Innovative Geo-Exchange System
GEOcentral is the first residential property in Kingston to utilize a geo-exchange heating and cooling system. This advanced technology not only minimizes energy consumption but also reflects the city’s dedication to greener living, perfectly aligning with local climate action goals.
Design and Features
The new structure boasts 10 stories, comprising over 250,000 square feet dedicated to residential living and more than 10,500 square feet for commercial use. Within its 344 apartments—ranging from cozy studios to spacious four-bedroom units—future residents will enjoy a harmonious blend of comfort and sustainability.
Community and Amenities
GEOcentral is not just a place to live; it is a vibrant community hub. The property includes seven retail spaces facing a beautifully landscaped boulevard on Princess Street, inviting both residents and visitors to experience urban living in a fresh, eco-conscious manner. Beyond the impressive living spaces, the building incorporates a range of amenities designed to enhance the quality of life for its residents.
Commitment to Health and Wellness
This remarkable project is distinguished by its 2-Star Fitwel rating, demonstrating Potium's commitment to health and well-being. Features such as lounges, work/study rooms, a rooftop terrace, and a state-of-the-art gym—complete with a regulation-size squash court—create an inspiring environment where residents can thrive.
Future Developments
The dedication to sustainable living continues with plans for another geo-exchange project, GEOpark, located nearby at 485 Albert Street. This upcoming development aims to achieve CaGBC Zero Carbon Design certification, solidifying Kingston’s position as a leader in sustainable housing.
Voices of Leadership
“This project is more than just a building; it’s a step forward in sustainable, modern living for Kingston,” stated Bernard Luttmer, Managing Director of Podium Developments. His vision for the future includes more geo-exchange projects, reaffirming that Kingston's geological advantages are perfect for such innovative infrastructure.
