Hardly any energy costs at new housing project ‘Depot Cadix’
Property developer Urban Capital Group starts a remarkable construction project in the Cadix neighborhood. The company builds in the Madrasstraat 6 family houses, 20 apartments, 2 penthouses and 2 commercial areas. They are so energy-efficient that what you normally pay for electricity and gas each month, you now only pay once a year.
The Antwerp City Council has always foreseen this new Cadix-neighborhood in development as a sustainable urban neighborhood. The project developer Urban Capital Group takes this very literally. The developer draws two building blocks, which are fully built according to the passive standards. All apartments and houses have thereby an E-level lower than E40. For comparison: in a typical apartment this is quickly five times as much.
“The residents of Depot Cadix will save a lot on their energy bills”, thus building promotor Inge Caes of Urban Capital Group. “This district has no equal in Flanders. It is an example for future sustainable living.”
In many ways Depot Cadix saves energy. Every apartment has an on/off button to prevent energy waste, triple-glazed windows are provided, and the walls are made extra thick with the insulation. Also, particularly: to promote sustainable transportation in the district, buyers of the houses get a free cargo bike and buyers of the apartments receive a folding bike. The prices? From 135,000€. For penthouses: 450,000€. And for the homes: 370,000 € – 425,000 €
