The Silva Building

Newly built in 2005, the Silva, is the first high-​rise residential project in North America to be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified. The building has been designed and constructed to create a living environment that is healthy for both its occupants and the planet. Project highlights include: an attractive «living roof» designed to capture storm water; a 50% reduction in water usage; healthy interior finishes as well as a number of energy savings features. The Silva is crowned with large floor-​to-​ceiling windows that offer spectacular views of downtown & the North Shore Mountains.
