Sustainability report
Green engineering, built into the icon.
A 405-metre landmark designed to perform as well as it looks — efficient in energy, water and materials, and built to outlast the technology inside it.
Design brief
Every system is specified before the first line is drawn.
The V2 design competition mandates a crystalline projection-canvas envelope, operationally separated hotel and resident cores, and shared amenity decks — reducing duplicated plant and services across the building.
LEED Gold minimum
Mandated in the architect competition brief — certification is a design requirement, not an aspiration.
District cooling
Centralised chilled-water supply cuts cooling energy, the largest load of any Gulf supertall.
Photovoltaic generation
Integrated PV across podium roofs and façade surfaces to offset common-area demand.
Greywater recycling
Captured and treated water reused for irrigation of sky gardens and landscape.
Digital twin
A live model of the tower monitors energy, water and occupancy to optimise performance.
Sensor-agnostic design
“Dumb pipes, smart layers” — conduit-rich architecture so technology can be upgraded without rebuilding.
