Environment-friendly builders to get more incentives: URA

Greening the skyline now made more profitable.

There will be more incentives in store for property builders and developers who adapt the government’s Landscaping for Urban Spaces and High Rises (LUSH) programme, wrote Minister of National Development Khaw Boon Wan in his latest blog post.

Khaw noted that more than half of eligible residential developments and a third of eligible commercial properties have already applied for LUSH incentives in just the past two years.

To date, the programme has aided the development of 40ha of new high-rise urban greenery. This is equivalent to the size of 130 primary school fields.

“We are pleased with what LUSH has accomplished and have decided to do more, through additional incentives and regulations. Our aim is to make Singapore a great garden, and a great home. URA will announce details shortly,” wrote Khaw.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
