Robinsons Land aims for LEED Gold badge

Robinsons Land Corp.’s upcoming prime, Grade A office
building in Quezon City is expected to carry the flag for the property
development firm’s commitment to environmental sustainability and further
upgrading its office features as it aims for a LEED Gold Certified green
building program.
Faraday D. Go, RLC’s General Manager for Office Buildings
Division, said the 20 storey Tera Tower---registered under the Leadership in
Energy and Environment Design (LEED®) green building program—will be located
inside its upcoming mixed-use complex and will have 15 office floors and ample
parking space provisions.
Targeted for completion by 3rd quarter of 2015, RLC’s 11th
office building is currently under pre-leasing stage, it will be, adding an
additional gross floor area of approximately 35,000 square meters to its
growing office portfolio.
For its office space offerings this 2014, RLC is actively
leasing its two new office buildings, Cyberscape Alpha and Cyberscape Beta.
Both are located within the Ortigas Central Business District and are just a
few steps away from Robinsons Galleria, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn and Asian
Development Bank head office.
Strategically located along E. Rodriguez Jr. Avenue (C-5)
and Ortigas Avenue, Tera Tower will be the first structure at the heart of
Robinsons Land’s fourth mixed-use development in Quezon City.
“Modern residential, retail and hotel establishments are
planned to be built alongside it, complementing the similarly modern
architectural concept of Tera Tower in this master-planned 8-hectare
development”, Go said in a statement.
The U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED® green building
program is the globally recognized and preeminent program for the design,
construction, maintenance and operations of high-performance green buildings
and in line with its aim for LEED® Gold certification, Tera Tower will showcase
sustainable and efficient building features.
Common areas will be brightly lit with durable and
energy-efficient LED lights to better manage electricity consumption. A
rainwater recycling system will be used to irrigate the building’s common area
landscaping instead of using potable water. Office spaces will use double
glazed windows on all the exterior glass facades of the building to allow
sunlight to pass through but limit the flow of heat going into the building.
“This minimizes the need for the use of office lighting and
air-conditioning which potentially leads to electricity savings and better air
quality for the tenants”, Go added.
