Urban greenery, parks & carbon sequestration

Eight Flagship Green Moves

A refined overview of the elements that elevate Linkar 52 into a modern urban living experience, where comfort, connectivity, and lifestyle are thoughtfully integrated into every aspect of the development.

Passive Building Design

Energy-saving building orientation, insulation and glazing reduce heat gain and cooling needs.

Energy-Efficient Systems

High-efficiency ACMV, lighting controls and energy monitoring reduce operational energy.

District Cooling System

A centralised cooling network with TNEC delivers large-scale energy savings.

Solar PV System Integration

New commercial buildings must install solar PV on at least 30% of roof area; PT49 already generates 122,785kWh/year.

Rainwater Harvesting System

All new developments adopt rainwater harvesting — PT52 uses a 1,058m³ tank for irrigation.

Water-Efficient Fittings

WELPS 2-Star and above fittings cut potable water use in all new commercial and residential projects.

Waste Recycling & Composting

40% recycling target, with composting for residential and commercial organic waste.

Green Mobility Network

LRT3 station, e-buses, EV chargers, Beam e-bikes and covered pedestrian networks reduce car dependency.

Green Urban Planning & Nature-Based Solutions

Parks, lakes and trees function as climate infrastructure.

13.75 hectares of landscaped green spaces including Shah Alam Lake Garden.
12 hectares of water bodies enhancing cooling & biodiversity.
17,679 trees planned (up from 5,319).
Aneka Walk integrates greenery and pocket parks into a walkable 300m urban spine.
