The neighbourhood has rich walking and cycling trail potential, so as one of the first project to be built, this the plan for this development extends out into a masterplan for trails linking neighbouring lots and along streams.

Meanwhile indoors, and with the support of a stellar consultant team, Formosis conceived and executed on a contemporary townhouse design which met Squamish's requirements for Energy Step 4 performance, and net-zero operational energy use. Solar panels on the rooves will generate the same amount of energy used by the buildings in a year, with electrical utility net-metering to shift demand to match sunshine supply.

With passive design strategies, shading, windows, and great insulation, heat losses to the outdoors become a smaller energy expenditure than hot water and lighting. The cost of solar panels on the roofs drove building energy performance beyond what was required as small mechanical equipment improvements were offset by solar panel capital costs avoided.
