Green Village Route de Ferney

Short description

The building is named after the Montreal Protocol, an international agreement signed by 24 countries in 1987 to reduce by half the number of substances that damage the ozone layer. In 2009, it became the first universally ratified environmental protocol, with 196 signatory countries.

The project

Residents of the Montreal building benefit from all the advantages of an innovative project in the heart of Geneva's international district. Surrounded by lush vegetation and connected to the city by a wide network of public transport and soft mobility, this building marketed as condominium comprises 48 apartments on the upper floor overlooking a first floor area that will house a day care center.

Sustainability

The Green Village in the city of Grand-Saconnex is the first real estate project in Geneva (and one of three pilot projects in Switzerland) that follows the principles of One Planet Living ®.

The environmental vision for the project focuses on maximizing green spaces. In developing the site, special attention was paid to energy efficiency and environmental aspects by incorporating the latest developments in this field into the design. To meet the very high energy efficiency standards of the Canton of Geneva, the buildings will be very energy efficient and powered by 100 percent renewable energy, from eothermal sensors, solar panels and interconnected energy (micro-grid), resulting in a zero carbon footprint.
