A Grade A office and retail building—the JEG Tower—is set to take form over the Metro Cebu skyline after breaking ground last February. JDC is developing the 22-storey structure near the Ayala Cebu. The structure has a pre-certified Silver rating from the US Green Building Council (USGBC) under its Leadership for Energy and Environmental Design-Core and Shell (LEED-CS) program.
With its ergonomic design and structure, it will be one of the few buildings in the city to use less water and energy and emit fewer greenhouse gases.
The certification also ensures that the JEG Tower will be bolstered with state-of-the-art facilities such as 100 percent back-up power with 24/7 capability and variable refrigerant flow (VRF) air conditioning. The property will have a shared roof deck garden, bike racks, shower rooms, and interior spaces for maximum views and natural lighting. (PR)
