SCG collaborates with Raimon Land to achieve the Fitwel certification for healthy buildings, making it the first office rental project in Thailand.

Mr. Wachirachai Koonamwattana and Mr. Sitthichai Niamjaroen, representatives from SCG, presented the Fitwel certification for design in the office rental category at a 2-star level (Fitwel Design Certification, Multi-Tenant Base Building v2.1 with 2-Star rating) to Mr. Korn Narongdej, CEO of Raimon Land Public Company Limited, Mr. Stefan Michel, COO of Raimon Land Public Company Limited, and Mr. Tomohiko Eguchi, Managing Director of Mitsubishi Estate (Thailand) Co., Ltd.

The One City Centre (OCC) project is a large Grade A office rental building located in the heart of Ploenchit, Bangkok, developed in collaboration with Raimon Land Public Company Limited and Mitsubishi Estate (Thailand) Co., Ltd., a leading global real estate developer from Japan. The total building area is 115,223 square meters. The Fitwel certification represents a commitment to enhancing the quality of life for building users during both working hours and outside of work, with flexible and diverse space designs that increase comfort, safety, and promote the well-being of users, including the addition of podium garden areas to connect users with nature.

 

Project Highlights

  • Strict quality control and air testing within the building to ensure air quality remains high even with prolonged use.
  • Increased lighting for outdoor areas and all entrances, enhancing safety and facilitating pedestrian use of the streets at night, while also reducing opportunities for crime.
  • Large recreational spaces and outdoor amenities foster an environment conducive to physical activities and increased time spent outdoors, promoting social interaction and improving the physical and mental health of building users.

The Fitwel standard is an international standard for healthy buildings, established by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and operated by the Center for Active Design (CfAD). It aims to create healthy environments for users and surrounding communities to prevent the spread of communicable and non-communicable diseases, which are leading causes of illness and death worldwide. This impacts not only individual health but also economic factors such as reduced work efficiency and healthcare costs within organizations. The Fitwel standard can be certified for various types of buildings.
