Greening Model from Singapore | Real Estate

From Singapore's national "greening" model…

As the most developed country in Southeast Asia, Singapore has been successful in urban planning and greening the city with the goal of increasing tree density, enhancing aesthetics, and improving the living and recreational environment for its people. After many decades, Singapore has achieved a green coverage rate of more than 50% of the land area horizontally, and more than 75% vertically, in accordance with the national policy of developing "vertical gardens".

The first impression of Singapore is Changi International Airport and the Jewel complex developed by CapitaLand Group. The project focuses on closeness to nature with the world's tallest indoor waterfall, a 14,000m2 tropical park and 60,000 trees... With timeless architecture, Jewel Changi Airport is known as a leading tourist destination offering unique green experiences.

Jewel Changi is built with sustainable materials and energy-efficient infrastructure.

The infrastructure system, hundreds of parks and botanical gardens are also calculated and built rationally in a multi-layered manner. Thus, every household will live within a 10-minute walk to a neighboring park; the gardens become green spaces for residents, and at the same time, a place to preserve native biodiversity.

In addition to efforts to "green" infrastructure, sustainable architecture is also prioritized in each construction project to optimize green space for residents with extremely diverse and creative designs.

In the civil sector, One Pearl Bank is a project that is currently attracting special attention with the world's first housing complex model with rooftop gardens for residents. Owning 2 39-storey towers, investor CapitaLand provides 18 "sky gardens" with nearly 200 fertile plots of land for One Pearl Bank residents to grow their own vegetables, fruits, and herbs at home.

Every 4 floors has a garden, One Pearl Bank residents can experience gardening activities, breathe fresh air as if they were in the middle of a forest.

…to the journey of building a sustainable Vietnam

According to the Ministry of Construction , by the end of 2022, Vietnam currently has 233 green buildings, but this number is still modest compared to the number of projects implemented in Singapore. In the "green thirst" of Vietnamese real estate, investors are gradually taking the philosophy of sustainability as a guiding principle and constantly looking for creative solutions to balance living space and the natural environment.

In addition to pioneering efforts to "green" the host country, CapitaLand puts sustainability at the core of its business activities in the areas where the group is present. With 3 decades of accompanying Vietnam, CapitaLand Development (CLD) - the real estate development arm of CapitaLand Group, has demonstrated its strong commitment to sustainable real estate development through a series of iconic projects that meet international green standards from North to South. CLD pays special attention to sustainability in all stages of investment and design, land fund development and operation.

Heritage West Lake ( Hanoi ) is certified as a Green Building by the Singapore Building and Construction Authority (BCA).

In Tay Ho land, Heritage West Lake is the first luxury apartment project in Hanoi designed to harmoniously blend modern values and the historical culture of the capital, integrating a series of artistic utilities and "green areas" in the living space. In Ho Chi Minh City, the Feliz en Vista project (Thu Duc City) was developed by CLD with an extremely low construction density of only 23%, bringing maximum green space to 973 households here... The project also uniquely 'simulates wind flow' for each floor, helping residents to receive natural wind in their own apartments, bringing benefits to health and spirit, while optimizing electricity costs.

The above-ground parking area at Feliz en Vista project helps residents avoid water intrusion and ensures natural air circulation everywhere.

Scheduled to launch this year, CLD’s first large-scale housing project in Binh Duong New City will also feature Singapore-standard green architecture and be designed to achieve EDGE sustainability certification from the International Finance Corporation (IFC) of the World Bank Group. The project utilizes environmentally friendly construction materials, is equipped with energy-saving sensors and waste treatment systems. In addition, many initiatives are put forward so that residents not only enjoy, but also contribute to a sustainable lifestyle.
