With over a 50% reduction in embodied carbon compared to traditional builds and energy use intensity (EUI) below 60kWh/m²/yr, it’s outperforming CRREM 2050 targets and surpassing LETI and RIBA 2030 standards. Also achieving the Paris Agreement 2030 targets, the development proves sustainability is not only possible, but economically viable. With completion just around the corner, stay tuned for the big reveal!
