Our Mission
We Aim to Improve Equity and Accessibility Through Inclusive Planning and Zero-Emission Development
Our Values
Equitability
Reducing barriers of access to safe, of quality, affordable, family-friendly, and age-friendly ownership for all income cohorts to meet a variety of needs along the housing continuum.
Diversity and Affordability
Diversifying housing types and tenures, including attainable homeownership as a response to an aging population, changing family and household characteristics, a range of household incomes and zero-emission requirements.
Inclusivity
Listening to everyone’s acute housing needs, including vulnerable populations, so housing design and tenure structures include solutions to historical housing issues.

Logan Canada:
Mixed-Use Step Code 4
Community Cultural Building:
Zero Carbon Building (ZCB) following the CAGBC ZCB v4 certification
So… What is Step Code 4
Our homes meet Step 4 of the BC Energy Step Code—one of the most advanced energy-efficiency standards in Canada. Step 4 homes offer year-round comfort, significantly lower energy bills, and reduced environmental impact. With precision-engineered systems and future-ready design, every home is built to exceed expectations.
Up to 40% more energy-efficient than standard code-built homes
Airtight envelope (≤1.5 ACH @ 50 Pa) for reduced heat loss
HRV systems for clean, balanced indoor air
Advanced insulation, minimized thermal bridging, optimized systems
Fully net-zero energy ready, aligned with evolving energy codes
Our Projects Utilize These Design and Development Frameworks, and Monitoring Standards

Things That Are Integral for RRB Partners
Life-Cycle Assessment
Life cycle assessment (LCA) estimates the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere over a product’s entire life-span, from resource extraction to landfill and decomposition at its end of life. LCA is a rigorous methodological technique which measures embodied and operational carbon to rationalize material selection toward ‘green’ choices.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for a building (whole-building LCA), measures all the flows between a building and nature over its lifetime and then estimates the resulting impacts on air, land, and water.
Vancouver City Council has set a target of reducing embodied emissions by 40% by 2030 as part of their declaration of a climate emergency action plan.
The cradle-to-grave lifetime of a building includes manufacturing and transporting of construction materials, the process of construction, a long phase of building occupancy and maintenance, demolition, and removal of waste materials. Resources are consumed and emissions created during every life phase.
Community Participation
With an implementation plan indicating technical details, and an investment plan and actions to follow, including maintenance and monitoring involving the community, creating links between the different sectors, sustainability is more secure. In working to strengthen urban resilience, NbS and participatory governance are essential. For urban resilience to be successful, inclusion, recognition of local knowledge, community empowerment, and accountability are necessary.
Nature-based Solutions
Before construction begins there are complex planning and design decisions to make to protect, manage, and restore ecosystems using green infrastructure. Planning and design decisions to preserve ecological features like waterways, vegetation, and other natural features, and the ozone, help abate air and water pollution.
What is Green Infrastructure?
Green infrastructure may be broadly defined as interconnected networks of natural and engineered green space that provide various ecosystem services. The application of green infrastructure has been categorized into five areas: green roofs, green walls, urban vegetation and forestry, urban agriculture systems, and tree-based intercropping systems (Anderson, V. & Gough, W., 2020). Green roofs and green walls, for example, remove air pollutants including ozone, nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter, create green space, mitigate urban heat island effect, and cool the environment.
Green Infrastructure
Broader benefits for biodiversity, communities, and the local economy are produced as a result. Working with nature is a cost-effective approach to coordinate climate change adaptation while strengthening urban resilience. These applications are not limited to specific treatments regardless of location, geography, or land use type.
