World Trade Center, Netherlands
In Rotterdam, we’re working on the city’s most iconic building, the World Trade Center. WTC sets a high bar for the sustainable retrofitting of historic properties, including solar panels, renewable energy and climate control systems. It started out at a “G” energy rating, and together we brought it up to “A++”.
人生は私たちの資源を最大化することです。そのため、シンガポールでは、シンガポールスポーツハブが日常のソリューションに持続可能性を組み込むのを支援しています。雨水を収穫してピッチを緑に保つようにするようなものです。私たちが行うすべてのことに持続可能性を含めることで、私たちは人生がシンガポールがそれを作るものであることを保証するのを助けることができるからです。
生活は地球をより環境に優しいものにすることであるため、シンガポールではComCropと提携して、シンガポール初の商業的にスケーラブルな都市型屋上温室を建設しました。私たちは共に、新鮮な野菜を農場から食卓に運び、シンガポールの食料安全保障の目標達成を支援しています。
私たちは、受賞歴のある750 E Prattが持続可能な建築基準を設定しているボルチモアで変化を生きています。私たちは、彼らがより少ないエネルギーを消費し、建築ソリューションを最適化するのを支援し、ボルチモアで最初のLEEDプラチナと一貫して高いENERGY STARスコアを達成しました。
World Port Center, Netherlands
We’re living change now in Rotterdam, where we helped the sale of World Port Center by assessing and confirming its strength in ESG. Because together, life is what Rotterdam makes it.
As one of the tallest buildings outside of Manhattan, the iconic 57 storey skyscraper in Queens has always stood out. But now it’s winning awards, too. Taking the lead from our client, Savanna, our team helped modernize all 1.5 million sqm, to save over 4.4 million kilowatt-hours of electricity - 20% less than the previous year.
Hektar Nektar Program, Germany
We partnered with Hektar Nektar, on ‘Project 2028’, an initiative to protect the regional bee population and increase their number by 10% by 2028. We’ve given 500,000 honeybees a new home close to each of our German locations. Our beehives, complete with Cushman & Wakefield door signs, are buzzing with life and not only producing amazing honey but are also helping rebalance the ecosystem.
