Sustainable property development is the avant-garde property trend of 2022 and beyond. But what is sustainable property development, and if you want to invest in a green property, what should you be looking out for?
Sustainable property development focuses on designing and constructing spaces with a minimal or net-zero negative impact on the environment. These developments also meet all current operational needs without harming the environment. If you’re keen on investing in a green property, here are four features every luxury, eco-conscious development should offer.
Water Innovation
Saving water is good for the environment and saves property owners money. Sustainable developments should feature:
● Water-efficient sanitaryware fittings
● Smart water monitoring systems
● Innovative solutions for landscape irrigation
Legaro Property Development’s head office at 78 Corlett features all this and more. View the iconic eco-conscious development here.
Energy Innovations
Solar and inverter backup power are must-have features for luxury sustainable residential developments. A couple of features to look out for in commercial spaces include:
● Occupancy sensor-controlled lighting
● Natural light sources
● Charging points for electric vehicles
These are just a few energy-efficient design features that save money and the environment’s natural resources. Legaro development’s state-of-the-art Melrose Walk residential estate offers solar and inverter backup power. Learn more here
Development Emissions
When designing a sustainable development, its effect on the environment and inhabitants are taken into account. To achieve a minimal to net-zero emissions rating, an eco-conscious development must:
● Be constructed with Low Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) materials,
● Fit appliances with zero-rated Ozone Depletion Potential, and
● Recycle all waste.
Legaro Property Development’s upcoming 76 Corlett development in Melrose North aims to achieve net-zero ratings. Learn more about the Living Building Challenge here.
Quality of Life
Sustainable developments that offer a healthy, balanced lifestyle score higher green ratings. Look out for developments that offer a lifestyle centre with amenities such as:
● Gym
● Swimming Pool
● Spa
● Restaurant
● Sports Facilities
● Concierge Services
The Emerald luxury residential estate by Legaro Property Development at 54 Sixth Road Hyde Park offers amenities that promote healthy living, prioritise leisure activities and modern conveniences like boardrooms, office spaces and wi-fi.
