Markham, Ontario - April 21, 2023: After years of research and development, Minto Communities GTA is proud to unveil the first production Net Zero home in Markham’s highly sought-after Union Village master-planned community, developed in partnership with Metropia. The Net Zero home is both the first in Markham as well as Minto Communities’ first in the GTA. Designed to produce as much energy as it consumes over a one-year period, the Net Zero home was celebrated with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark its successful qualification by the Canadian Home Builder’s Association (CHBA), the organizing body who manages Canada’s only labelling program for Net Zero or Net Zero Ready Homes. Attendees included representatives from Minto Communities, Metropia, CHBA, and the City of Markham, including Deputy Mayor Michael Chan and Ward 6 Councillor Amanda Yeung Collucci, as well as trade partners who helped design and construct the Net Zero home: Building Knowledge, Aerobarrier, RN Design, and Bluewater Energy. This milestone moment represents the future of development where more efficient and sustainable homes will be essential to cut greenhouse gas emissions for a healthier future. Minto Communities GTA & Metropia cut the ribbon at Markham's first production-built net zero home. (Photo Credit: STAKreative) What a proud moment to unveil our first Net Zero home in Markham and the GTA,” says Brent Strachan, President, Minto Communities Canada. “We’ve come a long way since building one of Canada’s first Net Zero homes in 2008 in Ottawa. Since then, our teams have prioritized finding ways to bring these beautiful and efficient homes to market for prospective homebuyers. As always, we will continue prioritizing sustainability as one of our core values, and remain committed to pushing the envelope on more sustainable building for both our low-rise and high-rise communities. Net Zero homes are designed to produce as much energy as they consume in a year through a variety of highly efficient features that improve overall comfort without sacrificing high-quality design. A better building envelope with more insulation, triple pane windows, improved air tightness, a dual-fuel air source heat pump system, and multi-zoned HVAC are just a selection of the features that improve the overall efficiency of the home and contribute to the home being qualified under the CHBA’s Net Zero Home Labelling Program. This first Net Zero home is designed to reduce energy consumption by 60% and carbon emissions by 36%. In addition to comfort and efficiency, Net Zero homes can protect homeowners from future increases in energy prices. “Sustainable design has always defined Minto's core values and continues to gain momentum through our Corporate ESG Strategy,” says Carl Pawlowski, Senior Manager, Sustainability, Minto Communities GTA. “Our work on Net Zero is also a stepping stone to stay ahead of upcoming regulatory shifts towards reducing carbon emissions." This Net Zero home is gorgeous – from the classic yet modern façade to the spacious and airy interiors. (Photo Credit: STAKreative) A better building envelope and triple-paned windows make this an incredibly airtight home paired with multi-zone HVAC. (Photo Credit: STAKreative) A net zero home is not complicated to operate, looking and feeling like a regular home. (Photo Credit: STAKreative) Net Zero home upgrades were introduced to Union Village in the second phase of sales in April 2022 which contributed to the project’s exceptional reception and sell-out success. Due to the reception of the Net Zero upgrade packages, Minto Communities included this offering for The Heights of Harmony master-planned community in Oshawa where there has been steady interest too. “We’re thrilled to have Markham’s first-ever Net Zero home in Union Village community,” says Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti. “The City of Markham has a goal of becoming a net zero community by 2050, and today’s announcement is a great example of how we’re continuing our commitment towards environmental sustainability to ensure a greener future for today, as well as for future generations. Thank you Minto Communities GTA and Metropia for leading the way when it comes to more efficient and sustainable homes.” The unveiling of Minto Communities’ first Net Zero Home in Markham and the GTA continues its long history of pursuing more sustainable ways of building and designing. Alongside the Net Zero upgrade offerings in Markham and Oshawa, Minto Communities has also been progressing steadily on the construction of a community energy geo-exchange system at the North Oak master-planned community in Oakville. Geo-exchange systems leverage the consistent and stable temperatures beneath the earth as a source of low-carbon energy, reducing the use of fossil fuels for space heating and cooling by up to 95%. Geothermal field drilling was completed in Spring 2022. The Union Village master-planned community is currently under construction. To date, 215 homes have been constructed and occupied. A total of 22 Net Zero Ready Homes will be constructed as part of phase 2. To register for future phases of Union Village, visit: www.unionvillage.com.

CITY OF WESTLAKE, FL — (March 6, 2023) — Minto Communities USA, the master developer and primary home builder of Westlake, welcomes the first house of worship to the city since it was incorporated in 2016. After months of planning, fundraising, and some pandemic-related construction delays, Christ Fellowship Church held its grand opening on Sunday, March 5, 2023. Visitors were treated to live worship music, teaching, a bounce house and family games. In 2019, Christ Fellowship bought 13 acres from Minto off of Seminole Pratt Whitney Road at 16561 Waters Edge Drive to build a 38,000-square-foot worship center that features an 800-seat sanctuary. The church is approved for an additional 25,000 square feet of space to accommodate future growth. Based in Palm Beach Gardens, the church has one of the largest congregations in the region with multiple locations throughout Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River and Okeechobee counties. Church leaders saw the potential to reach even more people with a move to the fast-growing city of Westlake. Senior Pastor, Todd Mullins, told members in a website video: “A couple of years ago, when the initial plans for Westlake were being finalized, we knew we needed and wanted to be part of this community.” Christ Fellowship Westlake is led by Pastors Jonathan and Natalie Ferguson. The church, known for its contemporary music and worship style, offers numerous ministries related to students and young adults, kids, marriage, special missions and special needs. “We are so glad to have Christ Fellowship Church now open in the City of Westlake,” said John Carter, Sr. Vice President of Minto Communities. “I know they have big plans to become an active member of the community and serve people throughout the entire region of Central Palm Beach County.” Westlake is approved for 4,500 homes and more than 2-million square feet of commercial space. In 2022, the city was issued more single-family home building permits than any other municipality in Palm Beach County. Currently, Minto has a variety of single-family homes, estate homes and townhomes for sale starting in the $400s. New neighborhoods are expected to open for sales later in the year. Minto is wrapping up construction on phase two of the Westlake Adventure Park, a sprawling $22 million amenities center. New additions expected to open over the next month include basketball courts, an adult lap pool, and a multi-purpose building with an adjoining event lawn. A resort-style lagoon pool with tower slide, covered concert pavilion, picnic area, a BMX pump park, playground and dog park are some of the amenities already open to residents for use. On the commercial side, crews are finishing up construction of a new Publix grocery store and retail plaza, and a separate developer recently broke ground on a new retail complex that will bring a Starbucks, KFC, Taco Bell, Habit Burger, Verizon Wireless, Orange Theory, a dental practice and dry cleaners to the area. Two new 7-Eleven stores are open for residents to get gas, quick items or a hot meal.

CITY OF WESTLAKE, FL (June 21, 2021) — Commercial development continues at a rapid pace in the City of Westlake. Minto Communities, which is developing the 3,800-acre master-planned Westlake community, has designed a 50-acre business park called Westlake Landings to attract a strategic mix of commercial tenants to service the surging population. The City of Westlake approved the plans last week. Deerfield Beach-based Konover South, a premier retail real estate company, is contracted with Minto to acquire seven acres within the park to develop a pod of quick service restaurants and two multi-tenant, open-air shopping centers—one 7,000 square feet and the other, 9,450 square feet. Collectively, the area will be known as The Shoppes of Westlake Landings. It will be adjacent to a 7-11 convenience store and gas station currently under construction within the business park. The Shoppes will feature a mix of service-related businesses and restaurants. Konover South already has commitments from a handful of tenants as it prepares to submit its building plans to the city over the next 30 days. "We have had our eye on Westlake since the very beginning," said Bob Bedard, senior vice president of development at Konover South. "We look forward to attracting some great businesses to the area so that residents will no longer have to travel a long way for basic services. I fully expect we'll be 100% leased up by next summer." Minto is also under contract with a local developer to buy 5.75 acres to build a 107, 290 -square-foot self-storage facility whose site plan was also approved by the City. An investment group is seeking to buy a 14.5-acre parcel for an entertainment/sports concept and a final section of Westlake Landings is set aside for a flex office/warehouse project on 17.5 acres. Discussions are underway with several interested developers. "We wanted to create this mixed-use park to proactively plan for our commercial development activities in Westlake," said Minto Vice President John Carter. "Westlake Landings allows us to be more intentional in our approach and curate the right types of businesses to service our residents."
