Vision of New World Centre Remodeling 5 The New World Centre is designated to be a vibrant hub with various stellar attractions, and this mixed-use development will be conceived as an urban oasis with dazzling features
Foundation work in progress in end 2012 New World Centre Remodeling and Sustainable Building Design Guidelines 6 Demolition work commenced in January 2011 with GBP approval, later that year SBD Guidelines were established
New World Centre Remodeling Objectives and Sustainability s Goals 7 - The large-scale development should fulfills SBD guidelines and improves micro-climate at outdoor environments by building design - Passive design to enhance building energy performance - Provide inhabitants with adaptive opportunities optimizing health, satisfaction and productivity (Source: PLEA 2009 Manifesto)
