The Bay Adelaide Centre will use state-of-the-art innovation and design technologies. All of these features have been incorporated into the sophisticated architecture to create an environment that is both functional and architecturally captivating.
Built to a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold standard, the entire Bay Adelaide Centre has committed to conservation from conception to construction. This translates into an estimated 40% energy savings for tenants (relative to other existing buildings).
