Green buildings gain ascendancy in real estate marketVietNamNet Bridge - The highlight of the Vietnam real estate market in 2017 was the boom of ‘green’ construction. However, it is not the modern design and utilities, but the LEED Platinum certificate on green works which have impressed tenants. More office buildings are expected to receive green work certification in the time to come. Some other apartment blocks have also joined the ‘green trend’, including Diamond Lotus Riverside developed by Phuc Khang Group. However, the number of certified green works remains modest, mostly because of the high costs for construction and operation.
