View Smart Windows Selected for Mission Group’s Transformational New Development in Kelowna, BC
November 18 2021 - 7:00AM
View, Inc. (NASDAQ: VIEW) (“View”), the leader in smart building
technologies, today announced its Smart Windows will enclose the
new Class A office tower, The Block, a Mission Group project in
downtown Kelowna, British Columbia – one of Canada’s fastest
growing cities and technology hubs.
Mission Group, along with its investment partner Nicola Wealth
Real Estate, developed The Block as part of a master-planned urban
village comprising two residential towers, a Class A office tower
and retail space. The 17-story office tower, thoughtfully designed
with health and wellness in mind, has sweeping views of Kelowna and
Okanagan Lake and will be the centerpiece of this transformational
development. View Smart Windows were selected as a key amenity to
enable Mission Group to deliver an exceptional occupant
experience.
View Smart Windows use artificial intelligence to automatically
adjust in response to the sun, providing continuous access to
natural light and views of the outdoors while controlling heat and
glare. The windows have been proven to reduce building energy
consumption from HVAC and lighting by as much as 20%, while
delivering significant health and wellness benefits to building
occupants. A recent study found that people working behind View
Smart Windows slept an average of 37 minutes longer per night,
experienced half as many headaches and were 14% more productive
than those working behind regular windows with blinds.
“Mission Group is thrilled to work with View on this project,”
said Jon Friesen, Mission Group CEO. “We envisioned The Block as a
future-ready building that would bring one-of-a-kind office and
retail space to downtown Kelowna, and View Smart Windows are a key
amenity in realizing that vision.”
“The benefits of continuous access to natural light and outdoor
views are undeniable,” said Guthrie Cox, View Inc.’s President,
Canada. “We’re excited to partner with Mission Group to deliver a
smart, sustainable building that will improve the health and
productivity of employees.”
Kelowna is one of Canada’s fastest-growing cities and continues
to draw new residents and companies, particularly technology
start-ups. Situated in the center of the city, surrounded by
boutiques and eateries, The Block is poised to become the hub for
business leaders.
