  • Sophisticated security measures are adopted to ensure a safety environment for the residential.
  • Selection of low VOC content to optimise indoor air quality.

Innovations and Additions

  • Dual refuse chutes are provided for each residential tower to facilitate waste collection, this facility improves user experience and could potentially avoid 18.6 tonnes of carbon dioxide emission.
  • Twin tank systems reduce interruption and wastage of the supply of potable and fresh water with regular maintenance.
