Through the use of innovative construction technologies, ‘design-and-build’ methods and streamlined work processes, CapitaGreen was completed in 36 months, compared to the industry average of 40-42 months it would take to complete a building of this scale. With its striking green façade and rooftop wind scoop which contributes to cooling the building naturally, CapitaGreen’s sustainable design makes it one of the greenest office buildings in the CBD. Today, CapitaGreen is already home to about 30 multinational companies from diverse industry sectors including insurance, energy and commodities, technology and e-commerce, and financial services. They include Bordier & Cie, Cargill, Catlin Asia Pacific, China Life Insurance, Fitness First, Jardine Lloyd Thompson, Jones Day, Lloyds Banking Group, Rakuten, Schroders Investment Management and South32. To-date, aggregate committed occupancy stands at approximately 83% or 583,200 square feet of total net lettable area. Many tenants were attracted to CapitaGreen because of its sustainable design principles, which are aligned with their own corporate values and business focus. A number of tenants including Lloyds Banking Group, Schroders Investment Management and South32 have embarked on the process of being certified under the BCA Green Mark Office Interior scheme. Mr Lim Ming Yan, President and Group Chief Executive Officer of CapitaLand Limited said, “CapitaLand strongly believes that our buildings must have lasting impact – because when we build buildings, we are also creating communities where people can live, grow and fulfill their dreams.
