JEG Development Corporation is currently developing one of Cebu City’s few “green buildings” — JEG Tower @ One Acacia.
The Grade A office and retail building has already been recognized by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) with a pre-certified Silver rating. It will be turned over by the first quarter of 2020.
Located next to BPI Corporate Center in Ayala Cebu, JEG Tower @ One Acacia will utilize less water, energy, and emit less greenhouse gases. It will have an “enhanced interior space for maximum views and natural lighting” to reduce energy costs.
“We’re happy that going green in our industry has become a global trend. Hearing about the number of projects that are getting certified by LEED assures us that we are heading in the right direction. Through JEG Tower @ One Acacia, we hope to encourage ourselves and other developers to push for a more sustainable approach to architecture and design,” JEG Development Chief Operations Officer Marko Sarmiento was quoted as saying in a statement.
The project is a collaboration among JDC One Acacia Corporation, KMC Savills, Arcadis Philippines, and Casas + Architects.
