It boasts over 600,000 meters of retail space, hotels, residences, along with entertainment, recreational and cultural spaces. It is a pedestrian-friendly environment where visitors and residents have easy access to shops and venues and green spaces, parks and beaches.
Sustainability In Action
The project was delivered with sustainability in mind. We achieved a 4-star Global Sustainability Assessment System rating by optimizing exposure to sunlight to reduce the need for artificial lighting. Many buildings were designed to make maximum use of natural ventilation through operable doors and windows. The building interior materials met minimum emissions targets for high air quality. In addition, many building elements were made from recycled materials. In addition to solar water heaters, the development featured a rainwater collection system and uses recycled water for irrigation.
Additional Sustainability Initiatives
Our commitment to sustainability is stronger than ever through the use of:
- Indoor materials and finishes that meet minimum emissions targets to ensure the comfort and health of occupants.
- Materials and products that have the lowest life cycle environmental impact and embodied energy.
- Regionally manufactured and assembled building elements and materials in order to reduce the carbon footprint of the materials.
- Rainwater collection system.
- Recycled water for irrigation.
- Pedestrian friendly environment, with easy access to shops, entertainment, green area, parks and beaches.
