Sobha One Sets Sustainability Benchmark in the Middle East
 

Sobha Realty, a global leader in luxury real estate, has announced that its flagship project in Dubai, Sobha One, has been awarded the prestigious Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy (SLE) certification by Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority (BCA).

This makes Sobha One the first building outside Singapore to achieve this distinction, underscoring the company’s strong commitment to eco-friendly design and sustainable living.

In addition to the SLE certification, Sobha One has earned the Whole Life Carbon badge, recognising its low-carbon development and environmentally responsible design.

The Green Mark certification, a global benchmark for sustainability, evaluates projects based on resilience, whole life carbon, health and wellbeing, intelligence, and maintainability. Sobha One’s innovative design boasts a 60% energy saving compared to 2005 standards.

Francis Alfred, Managing Director of Sobha Realty, stated, “Sustainability is integral to our work. Sobha One’s achievement in receiving the Green Mark Platinum SLE certification sets a new standard for responsible living and aligns with the UAE’s Net Zero vision for 2050.”

Leveraging its unique Backward Integration model, Sobha Realty integrates advanced technologies such as CAFM, digital twins, and predictive maintenance dashboards, ensuring optimal energy efficiency and long-term operational performance, noted the developer in its press release.

The project also adheres to climate risk assessments and the TCFD framework, further affirming its commitment to global sustainability standards.

With this milestone, Sobha Realty reaffirms its position as a pioneer in low-impact, sustainable real estate development, driving innovation and excellence in the industry.
