Sustainable Real Estate Development is the way forward - Senior Builders Ltd.

Climate change has become a big concern globally that not merely impacts our daily life but also poses serious threat for future generations. This is especially true in India as 22 of the world's 30 most polluted cities can be found India. Mumbai, Kolkata, Surat and Chennai are among 45 major cities that are at elevated risk due to rising sea levels. Northern and central India has seen intensifying heat waves over the past decade that are claiming lives across the country. Added to all of this, are the recent water shortages we experienced and the fact that about 160 million people in India lack access to clean water. 

If these statistics don’t succeed in bringing our focus towards environmental concerns then what will? Hence, now is the time to take apt actions to ensure a sustainable and resilient future for all. 

One area that presents India with enormous potential is our building sector. Globally, buildings account for more than one-quarter of greenhouse gas emissions, and it is estimated that by 2050 the total floor area of all buildings on the planet will double. This implies that the construction sector in India is responsible for about 22 percent of total emissions.  

“Green buildings offer a global solution for cities, communities and neighborhoods around the world to address environmental concerns, reverse climate change and enhance the wellbeing of their inhabitants. Through sustainable design, construction and operations, green buildings work wonders in reducing carbon emissions, energy and waste; conserving water; prioritizing safer materials and lowering our exposure to toxins” says Mr. Vijay Dixit, Chairman and Managing Director, Senior Builders Ltd.

Sustainability is not a new concept in India. In fact, in recent years, India has taken on a greater leadership role and commitment towards reducing carbon emissions. In addition, green building in India has also seen a dramatic increase over the last several years and the future of sustainable real estate in India remains bright.

“It is our social responsibility to work towards the betterment of our fellow citizens who still lack access to very basic needs like affordable energy, clean water and air, basic sanitation and access to healthcare. We can go a long way towards raising quality of life for all by ensuring our development efforts incorporate sustainable design. If the real estate and construction industries were to embrace and invest in sustainability more, it would greatly help in catalyzing the transformation in both our new and existing building sectors – through education, awareness, evolution of the supply chain and mainstreaming of green investments” adds Mr. Vijay Dixit, CMD, Senior Builders Ltd.

We need to reimagine how to scale and grow buildings, communities and cities to meet the needs of our growing population, while ensuring that in meeting this new demand, we create better, healthier, more inclusive experiences around them. 

 

At Senior Builders Ltd, we make constant efforts to ensure construction that not only does less harm but also help in creating a better quality of life for all. Hence, we ensure to take care of the local community of the respective areas where our projects are constructed. This is done by providing sustainable livelihood opportunities to the local people during the construction of our projects. We at Senior Builders Ltd pride ourselves in taking exceptional measures to ensure local community’s development and enhancement.
