Nature and Pollution
We care about protecting and restoring our natural environment.

Connect Built and Natural Environments, and People to Nature- Nature blends into our buildings through green roofs, sky gardens and vertical greenery.
- Our green plot ratio of over 6 means you’re never far from greenery in PLQ.
