Sustainable living: How Glenside apartments are embracing green initiatives

In a world increasingly focused on environmental consciousness, the demand for sustainable living options has never been greater.

At Glenside, we understand that building for today means considering the needs of tomorrow. Our apartments are designed not only to provide modern living spaces but also to significantly reduce our environmental footprint.

Green Initiatives at Glenside

At Glenside, we strive to create homes that are both environmentally friendly and efficient. Our latest apartment release, Elegan, exemplifies this commitment with an impressive 8.5-star NatHERS rating.

Here are some of the key green initiatives incorporated into our apartments:

• Solar-Powered Communal Areas
• LED lighting throughout (sensors to communal areas & basement)
• Low irrigation plantings, incorporate native plants and trees
• Electric car charging provisions in every parking space
• Zero fossil fuels and 100% green source energy during occupation
• Double glazed windows and sliding doors
• Windows & doors with flyscreens
• 3 bin waste management system, with chutes on every floor
• Energy saving ‘last person out’ switch

Creating a Sustainable Community

Beyond individual apartments, we’re dedicated to cultivating vibrant, sustainable communities. Our landscaped green spaces not only enhance the aesthetics of Glenside but also contribute to a healthier ecosystem. By incorporating low irrigation native plants, we foster an environment that benefits both residents and the planet.

As Daniel Govier, Senior Development Manager at Cedar Woods, emphasises, “At Glenside, we think about and then act on sustainability every day, not just because it is the right thing to do, but because it makes sense.” This philosophy drives us to create living spaces that are not just homes, but also part of a larger commitment to a sustainable future.
