Somerset Square, the modern office building on the corner Wellesley Avenue and Somerset Street is the first building in the province and one of the few non-government buildings in Canada to get a top rating for efficiency, waste reduction, and sustainability.
Commercial Properties project manager Mark McGraw tells CHSJ News we need more buildings like it, since in addition to saving money workers in modern office buildings tend to report fewer health problems and greater job satisfaction.
The state of the art office building includes features like a rainwater collection system, bike racks and a solar reflective roof.
