It’s always a moment of pride when our buildings are crowned with the highest accolades for sustainable practices. While sustainable development goes hand-in-hand with our core values of being Socially Responsible – it also helps in the business aspect of creating superior products that are easier to sell / lease.
Brigade has more than 20 buildings that are Platinum or Gold certified buildings by LEED / IGBC. This showcases our commitment to developing projects in a sustainable manner. Post the emergence of the COVID-19 virus, a lot more importance is being given to ‘wellness’ from an employee / customer standpoint.
