CDL Eco-Home Innovations

As a green developer, CDL is constantly striving to introduce innovative eco features into the homes we build to promote greener living. Furthermore, CDL homebuyers are encouraged to recycle, reduce and reuse. Care and Recycle Programmes are conducted at some residential developments such as Guilin View, Sunshine Plaza and Trellis Towers.

As a leading developer, CDL is well-known for the extensive and beautiful landscaping of its residential projects. CDL often sets aside a large percentage of site area for beautiful lush greenery as well as shady and luxuriantly landscaped gardens. In planning a new development, CDL always put in extra efforts to preserve the natural foliage where possible and to integrate the natural terrain into its landscaping.
