Inaugural Singapore Property Awards 2011
- Winner, Sustainable Development Category
11 Tampines Concourse, the first Carbon Neutral® development in Singapore and Asia Pacific, emerged the winner in the Sustainable Development category in the Inaugural Singapore Property Awards 2011. As the first CarbonNeutral® development in Singapore and Asia Pacific, 11 Tampines Concourse is an outstanding example of a green development from start to finish. It offers a total of about 108,000 square feet of office space across 3 storeys, enhanced with eco-friendly features. In turning the development CarbonNeutral®, carbon emissions were reduced to "net zero" by offsetting the carbon emissions generated during the construction phase as well as on an annual basis. This was accomplished through the purchase of carbon credits which will fund carbon offsetting projects in Asia.

It was also the first commercial development in Singapore to be constructed using a wide range of recycled materials for its structural building components. Apart from sustainable construction materials, other prominent green features in TC include a natural day-lighting system to leverage on natural lighting in areas such as the atrium and lift lobbies. All these energy saving features contribute towards the lowering of the building’s carbon footprint.
