The Verde Residences and Offices are shaped to harness power from natural forces at the
building site. Each building incorporates both new technologies and latent systems, including
integrated wind turbines, photovoltaic cells, geothermal technologies, efficient building
facades and recyclable construction materials to dramatically reduce energy consumption.
The trapezoidal shaped 33- level Verde Office tower includes unique sky gardens, which emphasize outdoor
space and the open nature of the building. The tower includes podium offices and has a total built-up area
of 820,000 square feet.
The Verde Residence tower recalls the form of a boat, elegantly referencing its location in
the Maritime City. The 48 storey glass tower, with a total built-up area of 1.35 million square feet,
includes luxurious 2 & 3 bedroom units, 3 & 4 bedroom penthouses and 4 bedroom duplex townhouses in the
podium facing the harbour.
As part of a self sustained Green community, Verde Offices and Residences will use a district
cooling system, wind turbines, photovoltaic cells, solar hot water collectors, energy efficient lighting
equipment and a grey water system. |
