Eco-Cities: The Future of Real Estate

Sustainable design has been a common real estate trend in recent years.  Ecological stability has proven to be of more importance as we face global issues such as pollution, agricultural production and overall health and well-being.  Green technologies have grown from recycled goods to energy evaluation and now entire eco-friendly communities.

Surbana Urban Planning Group has formulated a plan for Tianjin Eco-city, a sustainable community that is expected to be up and running by 2020.  The community is said to feature the latest in energy-saving technology.  The 30 square kilometer (about 18 square miles) eco-city will act as an example for subsequent eco-communities while highlighting the ultramodern architectural technologies as well as environmentally conscious developments.

The community is expected to house approximately 350,000 residents and will be in close proximity to business parks in the Tianjin area.  The eco-city will also feature a progressive light rail transit system and landscape options.  Additionally, the community will take advantage of water recycling, waste treatment, wind power and solar power.

Here at PMBC Group, a Los Angeles based Real Estate PR firm, we are always fascinated by the architectural modernization that lead to ecological advancement.

EcoLog Features ROC’s ecoROC Advice for Businesses to Go Green

In honor of last Monday’s Earth day, EcoLog featured PMBC Group‘s client Real Office Center and their eco-friendly program ecoROC for their green business practices. Meant to increase environmental awareness throughout the year, ecoROC was established for the company, tenants, and local community to take part in and transform the building, resources, and practices.

ecoROC looked into areas such as Energy star ratings and a company bike rack to encourage employees to bike to work. EcoLog noted that such an innovation has appeared in Canada where employees are paid double-milage for cycling. Cutting out  parking costs and with the added health incentive, this eco-friendly move is the gift that keeps giving.
