Taikoo Place has become the first and only development in Hong Kong to be awarded LEED [Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design] Communities Gold certification; the citation noted that the commercial hub excels in the areas of integrative planning, green spaces, conservation, and transportation connectivity and accessibility. The community level distinction is in addition to individual LEED platinum certifications obtained by One Taikoo Place and Two Taikoo Place, the two newest triple Grade-A office buildings at Taikoo Place; while other office towers in the Taikoo Place portfolio have attained “green” certifications that include BEAM Plus and the Zero-Carbon- Ready Building Certification by the Hong Kong Green Building Council.
