The concepts of sustainability and green buildings have become integral components in the real estate sector. Today, as individuals become more conscious about their contribution to the environment, real estate developers stand at the forefront of this shift, crafting projects using eco-friendly practices. Developers follow a range of practices designed to reduce environmental impact, conserve resources, and enhance the quality of life for occupants. Through these initiatives, developers not only align with the efforts to combat the global climate challenge but also generate tangible benefits for investors and communities.
A joint report by Resurgent India and NAREDCO reveals the green buildings market in India is anticipated to rise significantly, contributing USD 39 billion (Rs. 3.2 lakh crore) by 2025. This trend highlights the growing emphasis on sustainable construction, with green buildings becoming a larger share of new developments.
As environmental consciousness becomes vital in the sector, SKA Group, with its unwavering commitment towards sustainable development, integrates eco-friendly practices in every aspect of its projects. SKA Group is dedicated to crafting quality projects, each underscoring their environmental stewardship and social responsibility. Since its inception in 2012, the group has curated distinguished residential communities in Noida-Greater Noida, intending to redefine excellence in NCR’s real estate sector. With sustainability as the core philosophy, the group’s projects boast numerous features, driving the green building revolution.
SKA Green Arch, one of its residential projects in Sector 16B, Greater Noida West, aims to promote green homes and offer a quality lifestyle to its residents. As an IGBC Gold Pre-certified project, resource reduction, recycling, and reuse principles display the Greenarch building concept. With 8,241 sqm of green area developed, the project promotes well-being and biodiversity. Other delivered projects like SKA Metroville and SKA Divya Towers acquire vast green spaces of 7,676 sqm and 5,803 sqm, respectively, recognizing their importance for the environment and residents’ well-being. Furthermore, upcoming projects like SKA Orion and SKA Destiny One will add 13,675 sqm of green space, creating a greener environment.
Water conservation is another priority for SKA Group. Over the last two years, the group has implemented advanced sewage treatment plants (STPs) and recycled and treated 454.22 million litres of water. This initiative has had a major impact on reducing freshwater consumption across its projects, ensuring water resources are used more efficiently and responsibly.
In terms of energy conservation, the group has made significant strides in reducing the energy footprint at SKA Greenarch, SKA Metroville, and SKA Divya Towers. By utilizing energy-efficient lighting, renewable energy sources, and high-efficiency equipment like motors and pumps, the group has achieved annual energy savings of 132.15 megawatt hours. These initiatives have been instrumental in achieving these energy savings, reflecting the group’s focus on incorporating sustainable energy solutions.
Besides water, energy, and green area developments, the group’s commitment to environmental sustainability extends to oxygen generation through tree plantation. Over the past two years, the group has generated 4,515 cubic meters of oxygen through tree-planting initiatives across its projects. These efforts not only improve air quality but also contribute to a greener, healthier living environment for residents.
Thus, SKA Group’s dedication towards sustainability is evident in its projects’ design and execution. By focusing on recycling, green spaces, water and energy conservation, and environmental regeneration, SKA Group is paving the way for a more sustainable future in real estate development. Their approach ensures that development is not only about creating luxury living spaces but also about building communities that thrive in harmony with the environment.
