The Estella in Ho Chi Minh City is the first development in Vietnam to receive the Green Mark Gold Award.

A luxury condominium development in District 2 of Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), The Estella will incorporate some of the latest green technology which is expected to yield annual savings of 23% and 48% in energy and water consumption. This amounts to estimated cost savings of over $850,000 annually for The Estella, which will feature about 1,400 high-end apartments with supporting commercial space and comprehensive recreational facilities, when completed.

Some of the green initiatives at The Estella include solar roof panels, use of low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) paint and low emission formaldehyde composite wood. The development also features thoughtfully-designed elements such as laminated glass windows and doors, natural ventilation-enabled interiors as well as roof and sky gardens, providing residents with a cooler and quieter environment.

To promote eco-consciousness amongst residents, Keppel Land will also set up an educational information corner on going green within premises at The Estella. In addition, every apartment block will have a dedicated collection and storage area for recyclable materials such as plastic, glass and metal to encourage residents to adopt a green lifestyle.
