Environmentally sustainable developments

The Raptis Group recognises the importance of respecting, protecting and valuing our natural environment. The company is a proactive supporter of environmentally sustainable development, pioneering practices now becoming a mandatory requirement for all developers.

Raptis Group’s design team work closely with specialists at the forefront of environmentally sustainable solutions to find new, innovative ways to reduce the water and energy consumption of each project.

With each project, the company strives to set new benchmarks and is proud of its achievements to date.

Some of our practices:

• Water reclamation tanks were first used by Raptis in the Towers of Chevron Renaissance project in 2003.
  
• A tank with the capacity to store 40,000 litres of water is housed beneath the third tower, Skyline Central.
  
• The tank captures and stores storm water which is re-used to irrigate the 1.25 acres of gardens, water features and fountains.
• The water in the water features and fountains is recirculated, being 'topped up' only when necessary.
• Each of the towers at Southport Central will have its own water reclamation tank with the capacity to store 100,000 litres of water. After going through a filtration system, the water is reused for the 4150m2 of gardens and water features.
• Water efficient shower roses and dual flush toilets are installed in all Raptis developments.
• Wherever possible 100 per cent recycled plastic drainage cells are used in and around project landscaping.
• Energy efficient, recycled steel reinforcement is used in the construction of Raptis projects.
