The Retail Park
The Retail Park is a unique high street commercial retail project in Ahmedabad, India comprising a total of 117,677.34 square meters. The building will be used for a variety of retail options which includes shops, theaters and a food court.
The building’s layout consists of a simple rectangular building, with a longer north-south-facing façade chosen for sustainability reasons. In combination with state-of-the-art construction and energy saving technologies such as insulation for roof and external walls, external shading devices, LED lighting and water-efficient plumbing features this allows for a substantial reduction in Retail Park’s energy and water consumption.
Additionally, 150 kW of solar photovoltaics were installed on site to cater to the common area amenities. The building is designed to ensure cross ventilation, maximize daylight and thermal comfort in spaces. The owner has taken conscious decisions in selecting the materials to reduce the project’s carbon foot print and solar heat gain within the spaces.
The Retail Park has received Final EDGE Certification from GBCI.
