Capitol TwinPeaks, the flagship residential venture of the Sanken Group, located at the up-and-coming, high-end investment location - the Beira Lakefront in Colombo 2, through its sustainable green building concept is expected to have a reduced carbon footprint of 18%, when compared with the results obtained in the case study Kumanayake, Luo, 2018. Based on this very marker, the project has now applied for its Green Certification to the Green Building Council of Sri Lanka.
The project which offers twin interlocking skyscrapers at 50 storeys each, connected by South Asia’s highest skybridge featuring 438 varying apartment units, under the purview of Sanken Construction Pvt Ltd, adheres to strict sustainability construction guidelines.
Manager, Engineering, Sanken Construction, Nilanga Lakmal said, “Studies have shown that a building’s value increases by 3-5% percent when it is green. This contributes largely in today’s market climate.
“As one of the pioneers in Sri Lanka’s construction industry it is our responsibility to provide the best construction solutions for our clients. Most of our clients are interested in sustainability for varying reasons—health and wellness; to be part of a larger movement in sustainability by reducing their carbon footprint; to save on utilities. The measures taken aid in all of the above,” he said.
Project Director D. L. Amarasinghe said, “The adoption of ISO standards for sustainability has led to a reduction of waste by 4-5%. Once ISO standards are adopted, they ensure overall high quality, efficiency and consistency throughout the project lifecycle.”
