Design that respects people and planet
Choosing North Harbour means choosing a community that has been designed from the ground up to embrace sustainability-conscious design. This holistic perspective is woven into every aspect of the community, delivering tangible benefits to residents. North Harbour is environmentally, economically and socially sustainable to address climate change, reduce waste and prioritize local businesses while fostering human connection.
Building for the Long Term
To build an economically sustainable community, we focus on the short- and long-term growth of the community while upholding Concert Properties’ environmental and social sustainability goals. By creating local jobs and championing local businesses to operate in the community, we focus on creating a three-pillar approach that can support itself for years to come.
A Sustainably Minded Community

The entire North Harbour community will be raised to protect against potential future sea level rise.

Phase 1 is designed to achieve LEED Gold, STEP 3 & 4 of the BC Energy Step Code (ESC), as well as Fitwel certification. For residents, that means you will enjoy the benefits of a high-efficiency, low-maintenance home without sacrificing comfort.
- A Comfortable and Sustainable Lifestyle
Designed for social and physical activities, North Harbour will reflect the region’s identity and natural attractions. Lively gathering places create a community where you can shop locally, eat well and enjoy a premier North Shore lifestyle.
