With its approximately 11 hectares of gross floor area, Cebu Exchange strengthened its claim as the largest multi-certified sustainable office tower in the Philippines after being Pre-Certified under the International WELL Building Institute’s prestigious WELL Building Standard™ last December 2020. It currently stands as the largest Pre-Certified WELL™ building in the Philippines and the first outside Metro Manila. The points for WELL Building Standard™ pre-awarded to Cebu Exchange in this building design category are equivalent to Gold level pre-certification. A signature development of ARTHALAND and Hong Kong-based private equity real estate firm ARCH Capital, Cebu Exchange has already previously been Pre-Certified Gold in the US Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®), as well as Design Certified 5-Stars in the Philippine Green Building Council’s Building for Ecologically Responsive Design Excellence (BERDE), the highest rating for this category. The tower is also currently registered and vying to receive Zero Carbon certification from the International Finance Corporation’s (a member of the World Bank Group) Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies (EDGE®).
