There are a total of 4 Bio Retention Swales for this development.

The Bio Retention Swales are constructed according to the ABC requirements. All the swales are planted with plants for their relevant filtering properties. The swales are located at the 4 lowest points of the development to maximise rain water collection before the latter is channeled to the external storm water drains.

Feature Pools

The linear forms of the water feature pools accentuates the spaciousness of the development. Large Trees and Palms compliment the edges of the water element. The generous size of the water bodies with the lush landscape enables a distant vista view of the surrounding landscape on the ground while providing a ‘break’ from the greenery as viewed from the upper levels of the development.

Large specimen Trees of Girths ranging from 600mm – 3500mm are dwarfed by the gargantuan of the Tower Blocks. (Trees of these sizes are seldom utilised in our local Condominiums – due to cost, access and logistic constraints) These specimens are located site wide to blend into the landscape areas.
