PETALING JAYA: Last year, Tropicana Corporation Bhd inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with GreenRE Sdn Bhd, pledging its long-term commitment to green building and driving sustainable living in Malaysia.
This year, Tropicana celebrated two more green building milestones by receiving GreenRE certification for Tropicana Miyu residences at Petaling Jaya and Tropicana Cenang’s Clarissa Serviced Suites at Langkawi.
This initiative is also aligned with Tropicana’s vision to connect communities and forge sustainable futures by encouraging property buyers to adopt greener living, reduce carbon footprints, and embrace a cleaner, greener future.
This green partnership focuses on adopting best practices, as outlined by GreenRE, a leading green building certification body formed by Malaysia’s Real Estate and Housing Developers’ Association (Rehda) that promotes sustainability in Malaysia’s property industry.
Tropicana managing director of project Allan Wong shared: “For more than 46 years, Tropicana has been redefining the art of living, pushing the boundaries between work-live-play-shop-learn concept.
“We are the master planners for more than 18 townships across Malaysia, and we recognise the importance of sustainable living.”
He added the recent two more GreenRE certifications for Tropicana Miyu and Tropicana Cenang, showcases their continued pledge to their long-term commitment to green building practices.
“We are honoured to receive these awards, and we extend our appreciation to GreenRE for their recognition and to Temokin Group for their good support. We will continuously invest in green initiatives and embrace best practices.”
Temokin Group executive director Jeremiah Tan said: “Our partnership with Tropicana is into its 6th year, and it has been a highly successful few years where we achieved many milestones together.
“We are pleased to collaborate with Tropicana, developing the modern Tropicana Miyu residences at Petaling Jaya.
“Having achieved 100% sold-out status and a high QLASSIC score of 85%, it is certainly a testament to the quality of the product that was born from this joint effort.”
He added they celebrated another milestone by receiving GreenRE certification for this development and this marked their commitment to building a greener future for the community.
Over the years, Tropicana has built more than 20 developments that have received the hallmark of green building certifications, demonstrating its ongoing efforts for sustainable living.
Speaking at the certificate award ceremony recently, GreenRE executive director Ashwin Thurairajah shared: “We are pleased to present these two green certifications to Tropicana and glad to see that Tropicana has been an advocate of green building for many years.
“We are also pleased that the group has remained committed to this long-term partnership, reflecting our united vision for a greener future.
“We hope to encourage other corporate citizens to join our mission in making Malaysia a greener nation.”
