	Two CityDev projects get Green Mark Platinum awards
	06 Apr 2007 Two CityDev projects get Green Mark Platinum awards CITY Developments Ltd (CDL) has been conferred two BCA Green Mark Platinum awards by the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) for 2007. CDL won the awards for its City Square Mall commercial development and its Oceanfront @ Sentosa Cove residential project. It is the first private developer to get a Green Mark Platinum award. Previously they have gone to public sector developments. The 700,000 sq ft City Square Mall is a prototype eco-friendly, community-friendly mall projected to use almost 40 per cent less energy than a standard design. A project must achieve 30 per cent energy and water savings and incorporate environmentally-sustainable building practices and innovative green features to be in the running for a Green Mark Platinum award. CDL has gained more green mark awards than any other private developer - 14 so far. ''Minimising the impact of our business on the environment has always been an integral part of CDL''s corporate mission,'' said managing director Kwek Leng Joo. ''We have been adopting the green building approach since 2001 and we are glad that our efforts are in line with the government''s vision to be a socially responsible, environmentally conscious global city.''
