1 Adelaide St E Case Study

Description

In April 2025, GWL partnered with Cubecom Project Management and Envirotech to bring a model suite to life at 1 Adelaide Street East. The goal: deliver a standout, market-ready space with a sharp design and even sharper environmental credentials. The result? A fully furnished suite that’s sustainable, modern, and cost-effective—setting a new standard for how model suites should be done.

What Makes Our Approach Different?
Envirotech doesn’t follow the “new-only” script. Instead, we challenge the status quo with a strategic blend of new, remanufactured, and certified pre-owned furniture, reupholstered and refurbished to look and perform better than new.

This hybrid model:

-Delivered a cost-effective solution with an elevated aesthetic

-Featured high-end brands like Haworth, Herman Miller, and Steelcase

-Integrated seamlessly with landlord ESG goals

Sustainability Impact
Envirotech’s circular approach avoided unnecessary manufacturing and landfill waste, delivering substantial environmental results:

2,300 pounds of furniture diverted from landfill

85% remanufactured

15% reused

Equivalent to:

⚡ Powering half a Canadian home for a year

🚗 Removing a gas car from the road for 3 months

🌱 Growing 400+ tree seedlings for 10 years

⛽ Avoiding 1,100 lbs of coal burned or 120+ gallons of gasoline

“Working with Andy and Andrea and the Envirotech team was an exceptional experience from start to finish. They provided a comprehensive proposal with furniture options perfectly aligned with our design vision. Throughout the process, they maintained clear communication regarding item availability and ensured seamless coordination for retail procurement. During installation, the Envirotech team demonstrated efficiency and professionalism, conducting site walkthroughs and promptly addressing any deficiencies.

Their commitment to delivering products sustainably in perfect condition has consistently exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Andy and Andrea and Envirotech for their outstanding service, as well as their dedication to quality and the planet.”
— Julie Meunier, Designer, Cubecom

Model suites shouldn’t just look good—they should do good. GWL, Cubecom, and Envirotech are proving that furnishing with intention is possible, scalable, and smart.

If you’re a landlord looking to reduce costs, elevate tenant experience, and meet ESG goals, it’s time to consider the Envirotech model.
