Innovation and sustainability are the core principles behind the design and construction of the Trade and Industry Tower, and our project placed strong emphasis on energy conservation and greening as early as in the design stage. Our excellence in sustainable construction has been honoured by a number of highly respected awards since 2014. In March 2017, the project team won the “Sustainability Achievement of the Year” award in the RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) Awards Hong Kong 2017.

This successful attainment of the highest standards in sustainability served as another testament to Dragages Hong Kong’s track record as the market-leader in sustainable construction practices.
