Canadian Homeowners Cash in on LEED-Certified Home Construction

The Cape on Bowen, a $100 million oceanfront community located on the southwest tip of Bowen Island near Vancouver, recently announced that it is offering financial encouragement to buyers who follow the community's Sustainability Plan and build certified LEED and Built Green sustainable homes.

 

The cash incentives increase if buyers opt for a higher environmental certification. Buyers who build their homes to the LEED Platinum level will receive a payment of $100,000 from the developer when the home is certified.
