如今，環境、社會和治理 (ESG) 整合已不再是可選項。在全球「零排放競賽」中，ESG 整合勢在必行。^[1], 在聯合國氣候變遷綱要公約（UNFCCC）的領導下，超過5,200家企業、1,040個城市和440家投資者提高了應對氣候變遷的目標，加入了這個全球聯盟，以加速應對氣候變遷。繼COP26之後，全球超過90%（90%）的GDP承諾在本世紀中葉或前後實現淨零排放。.^[2] 根據17^第 根據世界經濟論壇發布的《全球風險報告》，環境風險被認為是未來 10 年內五大最關鍵的長期威脅。.^[3] 氣候風險是投資和商業風險——氣候變遷造成的損害預計到 2040 年將導致全球財產保險費增加高達 41%。.^[4] 建築和施工產業約佔全球碳排放量的40%。^[5], 房地產行業在推動永續發展方面處於有利地位。.  

一體化：企業和氣候韌性的堅實基礎

城市發展有限公司（CDL）的ESG策略源自於其1995年所建立的「建設即保護」的企業理念。其價值創造商業模式以四大支柱為基石－整合、創新、投資與影響力，引導CDL實現三大關鍵目標：「脫碳」、「數位化與創新」以及「資訊揭露與溝通」。 CDL於2017年實施的《CDL未來價值2030永續發展藍圖》為CDL的業務策略和營運制定了清晰的策略目標和ESG指標。.

城市發展有限公司（CDL）的永續發展組合直接向董事會永續發展委員會匯報，並將環境、社會和治理（ESG）因素有效融入其業務、營運和成長策略。 2018年，城市發展有限公司推出了其永續發展策略。 得到. 策略——重點關注 G在採用ESG視角下實現成長, E提升資產價值以提高營運效率和 T轉型以實現長期可持續的價值。.

創新：擴大永續技術規模，實現綠色革命

認識到創新是氣候解決方案的關鍵加速器，CDL 於 2020 年成立了綠色建築與技術應用團隊。該團隊與該公司的企業創新委員會合作，利用尖端技術，在設計、建造和管理資產的方式上減少 CDL 的碳足跡。.  

為了推動循環經濟解決方案，CDL正在研究採用先進的低碳建築方法和材料來減少隱含碳排放的可行性。為此，CDL加快了可建造設計的發展，轉向勞動密集度較低的流程，並專注於整合數位化交付和麵向製造與組裝的設計（DfMA）技術。透過這些舉措，CDL可以減少對現場工人的依賴，提高工作場所的安全與健康，並提升建築和設施管理的生產力。.

CDL也充分利用跨產業合作的力量來開發低碳技術。該公司已與新加坡太陽能研究院合作，在多個開發項目中試點應用建築一體化光伏（BIPV）組件和麵板。 CDL永續發展學院所進行的雙面BIPV面板試點計畫旨在優化美觀性的同時實現發電。.

2020年，CDL和SERIS在新加坡城市廣場購物中心的永續發展學院試點安裝了新一代光伏藝術牆（雙面BIPV面板）。這為更有效率的光電裝置提供了一個試驗平台。

為了實現淨零排放的世界，零能耗建築是未來的發展方向。迄今為止，城市發展有限公司（CDL）已採用環保技術建造了兩座淨零能耗建築——新加坡永續發展學院（SSA）和位於新加坡植物園的CDL綠色展廳。新加坡永續發展學院是一座獲得新加坡建設局綠色建築標誌鉑金級認證的建築，也是新加坡首個其建築材料（交叉層壓木材和膠合層壓木材）通過「自然條碼」（Nature's Barcode）認證的建築。^™ 系統來自可靠的來源。.

新加坡太陽能中心（SSA）是新加坡首個由下而上啟動的零能耗設施，致力於氣候行動的能力建構和思想引領。自2017年開放以來，該中心一直利用屋頂3,200平方英尺的太陽能板作為能源來源。. 整個設施的建造使用了超過 80% 的來自可持續來源的結構材料。.

2021年2月，城市發展有限公司（CDL）成為東南亞首家簽署世界綠色建築委員會（WorldGBC）「淨零碳建築承諾」的房地產集團。在COP26氣候大會上，CDL是44家率先承諾實現全生命週期淨零碳建築環境的企業之一。根據該承諾，CDL承諾到2030年，其所有新建和現有全資資產及直接營運和管理的開發項目將實現營運淨零碳排放。此外，CDL也承諾到2030年，透過碳抵銷減少新建工程的隱含碳排放並補償剩餘的前期排放，到2050年，所有建築將實現淨零碳排放。.

為邁向低碳經濟，城市發展有限公司（CDL）制定了更為雄心勃勃的碳減排目標，並於2021年通過了科學碳目標倡議（SBTi）的評估和驗證，以適應全球升溫1.5攝氏度的情景。 CDL是新加坡首家在2018年透過SBTi驗證其在全球升溫2攝氏度情境下減排目標的房地產公司。.

CDL 綠色畫廊採用多種環保技術建造，其中包括兩項創新功能——生物材料麻石（主要由大麻植物製成）和預製模組化系統。.

投資：透過永續金融建構未來槓桿 

2017 年 4 月，CDL 的 Republic Plaza 綠色債券成為新加坡公司發行的第一支綠色債券。.

新加坡城市發展有限公司（CDL）已獲得超過143億新元的永續融資，包括各類綠色貸款、綠色債券和永續發展掛鉤貸款，以加速其綠色建築行動。 CDL於2017年發行了新加坡首支綠色債券，為其開拓多元化融資管道奠定了基礎，並以此為榮。 2021年9月，CDL憑藉其在digiHUB專案研發和試點方面的成功，獲得了星展銀行提供的可持續發展目標創新貸款的折扣。這使得CDL成為首家透過大規模支持永續發展目標的創新項目獲得永續發展掛鉤貸款折扣的新加坡企業。.

在城市發展有限公司（CDL）的綜合用途開發項目南灘（South Beach）中，光伏板已安裝在塔頂和百葉窗組件上，總覆蓋面積約為1800平方米。².

影響：永續建築，永續社區

衡量才能管理－CDL在ESG資訊揭露和永續發展方面擁有豐富的經驗，這有助於其發現差距並提升ESG績效。其穩健的ESG整合和資訊揭露獲得了13個全球評級、排名和指數的廣泛認可，其中包括在2021年CDP全球A級企業氣候行動和水安全榜單中獲得的雙A評級。.

CDL榮幸地在Corporate Knights發布的2022年全球100家最具永續發展能力企業榜單中取得最佳成績，排名從第40位躍升至第10位。^第 2021年至5年^第 今年，該公司繼續保持領先地位。此外，該公司連續第四年蟬聯全球頂級房地產管理及開發公司和新加坡頂級永續發展公司，並且是新加坡首家也是唯一一家連續13年入選該知名指數的公司。.

實現零排放需要堅定信念，並需要所有利害關係人的積極參與。二十年來，我們始終將環境、社會和治理（ESG）融入業務營運中，在掌握成長機會的同時，有效降低了ESG風險，從而為投資者、社區和地球創造了更多價值。.

Cushman & Wakefield’s Office Fit-out Cost Guides provide an indication of the fit-out construction costs for occupiers across key cities around the world. Whether it’s a basic, collaborative, or advanced hybrid fit-out requirement, these Guides compiled by our Project & Development Services team serves to assist occupiers in defining their capital planning and relocation budgets.

The Guides include a comprehensive fit-out cost section covering furniture, professional fees, mechanical & electrical works, construction works, audio visual/IT and other miscellaneous costs, as well as reinstatement and retrofit costs.

Estimated costs provided in our Guides are indicative of market averages based on certain assumptions. Exact costs for specific projects may differ to those presented – we recommend engaging a Project & Development Services professional to advise on precise costings based on your unique construction requirements.

Asia Pacific Guide 2022 Highlights

One clear factor that has come out of the COVID-19 pandemic so far has been the resilience of the Asia Pacific region.

However, many uncertainties remain especially around what the office of the future will look like and how employees will occupy and use that space. With this we have seen a shift in how corporates are envisioning their space requirements, which in turn impacts fit-out decision-making, all within an environment where costs are still being closely scrutinized.

For 31 key cities across 14 markets in APAC, this year’s Guide External Link covers:

• A comprehensive fit-out cost breakdown including furniture, professional fees, and construction works
• Average costs to reinstate office spaces
• Cost estimates of the different styles of fit-out to cater to the post-pandemic workforce
• Average retrofitting costs for a budget-friendly alternative if you’re looking to update and refresh your office environment

Knight Frank’s Asia-Pacific Prime Office Rental Index saw a 0.3% quarter-on-quarter increase, the first uptick since Q3 2019, before the start of the pandemic. Overall vacancy remains elevated at 12.8%, but office rents are likely to have bottomed out, thanks to improving business sentiments and a gradual and more sustainable return to workplaces, especially among big tech occupiers taking advantage of lower rents to move into high-quality CBD office spaces.

While conditions remain tentative due to the Omicron variant, we expect rents to continue stabilising into 2022 with more markets in the region reaching an inflexion point in the rental downcycle. As occupiers continually evolve their space strategies on the adoption of hybrid working styles, 2022 will be a year of reset and experimentation. However, this does not mean less demand for office spaces. We expect leasing activity to strengthen into 2022, with demand underpinned by the integration of flexible space solutions and a pivot to quality spaces that emphasises wellness and employee experience.

Explore a unique way to assess and score 55 global primary and emerging data center markets utilizing 13 criteria.

Explore a unique way to assess and score 55 global primary and emerging data center markets utilizing 13 criteria.

The last two years have been remarkable in many ways. Industries across the board have been confronted with change and disruption—and the data center industry has been no exception. In early 2020, many businesses faced a sudden and heightened need for greater cloud technology to connect a dispersed workforce and enable people to do their jobs in a work-from-home environment. The trend continued in 2021 as cloud migration accelerated, the need for data centers continued to grow and as major data-producing platforms—hyperscalers like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Alibaba, Apple and others—spread their data center footprints throughout the world. Today, the question is no longer whether the largest hyperscale data center users will expand to new regions each year, but how many will expand and how quickly. 

It’s in this time of both great demand and prolific expansion—but also amidst an increasing focus on sustainability in parts of the world—that we publish this third annual edition of Cushman & Wakefield’s Global Data Center Market Comparison.

Overall office gross absorption across the top six cities was at about 33 million sq feet, 10% higher compared to 2020. Pan-India absorption during the year surpassed the annual gross absorption during 2016-2018 by 7%, signalling a strong revival in occupier confidence.

• In a year where a raft of measures were unleashed to contain the rate of infections as well as activity in the red-hot residential market, some S$7.3 billion of investment deals were recorded in Q4 2021, bringing the total for the whole year to S$25.8 billion. This reflected a growth of 5.3% from the total amount of S$24.5 billion last year.
• The investment volume in Q4 was primarily led by residential sales, amounting to about S$2.8 billion, as demand remained healthy for prime residential homes. This included the sale of a penthouse unit at Les Maisons Nassim for S$75 million (S$6,201 psf) in late October, as well as a Good Class Bungalow (GCB) within the Kilburn Estate GCB Area (GCBA) where it was reported that crypto billionaire Zhu Su was in the process of acquiring the detached house at S$48.8 million (S$1,532 psf on land).
• The collective sale market also started to gain momentum in Q4 2021, comprising five en bloc deals that were sealed from October to December. This included the sale of Peace Centre and Peace Mansion topping the list at S$650 million, acquired by a joint venture (JV) of CEL Development, Sing-Haiyi Crystal and Ultra Infinity. Watten Estate Condominium was sold for S$550.8 million to a UOL-SingLand JV. Despite the encouraging en bloc activity with homeowners of ageing projects growing increasingly hopeful, the imposition of cooling measures on 15 December 2021 has given pause to the market. In addition to the risks of escalating construction costs, developers also have to contend with pressure stemming from the increased Additional Buyers’ Stamp Duty (ABSD) rate for entities from 25% to 35%.
