The Pavillion – Aubis-ORR
The Pavillion – Aurbis-ORR is a newly constructed commercial building located in the eastern suburb of Bengaluru called Marathalli. The building is located on the mutation corridor with connectivity to the main road of Sarjapur, Bengaluru’s thriving business district. Here one can find excellent residential enclaves, schools, hospitals, malls and high-street shopping.
The builder of the property, SJR Primecorp, has provided the core and shell and the basic infrastructure. The developer’s client, Singapore-based Aurbis Business Parks, is providing the interior fit-outs and leasing the building long term. It was Aurbis’ motivation for the building to become EDGE certified so that potential tenants will be convinced of the value of the superior performance of the building compared to a conventional building, in the areas of energy, water and embodied energy in materials. Aurbis is committed to meeting the highest environmental standards for the interior fit-outs related to lighting, automation and materials in all of its properties.
The Pavillion – Aurbis-ORR has received a preliminary EDGE certificate from GBCI.
