Whether it\u2019s paying more for paper bags or travelling in electric cars, we&#8217;re becoming more environmentally conscious.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Likewise, the property sector has been embracing sustainability, incorporating eco-friendly design and practices into their developments. This is also driven by the Building and Construction Authority\u2019s (BCA) Green Mark scheme. It provides various incentives such as additional gross floor area for buildings with higher Green Mark ratings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the unveiling of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenplan.gov.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Singapore Green Plan 2030<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on 10 February 2021, we can expect more changes to come for property developments over the decade.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What is the Singapore Green Plan 2030?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Singapore Green Plan 2030 is a whole-of-nation sustainable development agenda. Geared towards a more sustainable Singapore for the next decade, the plan builds on existing climate mitigation and adaptation measures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It lists down several green targets to be met by 2030 to achieve net zero emissions as soon as possible. The Green Plan also aims to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.channelnewsasia.com\/news\/singapore\/singapore-green-plan-2030-targets-10-years-14161356\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">help fulfil the country\u2019s commitments under the United Nations\u2019 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and the Paris Agreement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The target will be achieved through these pillars: City in Nature, Sustainable Living, Energy Reset, Green Economy and Resilient Future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_40038\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40038\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/singapore-green-plan-2030-infographic-e1618304223435.png\" class=\"img-link media-img img-link media-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-40038 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/singapore-green-plan-2030-infographic-e1618304223435.png\" alt=\"Infographic on Singapore Green Plan 2030\" width=\"600\" height=\"424\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-40038\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Click\/tap to enlarge image.

One of the initiatives under this pillar includes setting aside 1000ha of land for green spaces. 200ha of this will be for new nature parks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This translates to over 50% increase in nature parks for people to go hiking or bird watching. Every household will also be within a 10-minute walk of a park.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Sustainable Living<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the aims under this pillar is to build up Singapore\u2019s recycling capabilities, and reduce waste and water consumption. Moving towards the circular economy, resources will be maximised as much as possible. For instance, buildings in future will be built with waste materials, as waste treatment residue is turned into NEWSand for construction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New town concepts will also be developed, such as Tengah that\u2019s set to be the first car-free HDB town.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We can also expect to commute in a greener way as public transport, walking and cycling are highly encouraged. Come 2030, we\u2019ll enjoy easy train access, with eight in 10 households within a 10-minute walking distance to an MRT. It will also be easier to get around by cycling, with the cycling network expanded to around 1,320km.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Energy Reset<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ll see a move towards cleaner energy usage. This includes adopting green technology such as smart LED lights and solar energy, leading to a 15% decrease in energy usage in HDB towns by 2030. Solar energy deployment will also be quadrupled by 2025, as the government installs solar panels at more HDB blocks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another target is to enhance the infrastructure for electric vehicles, in which charging stations will be doubled. By 2025, we\u2019ll have eight towns equipped with charging stations at each HDB car park. The goal is to have 60,000 charging points islandwide by 2030.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other goals include greening 80% of all buildings to raise their sustainability standards and developing eco-friendly districts. Jurong Lake District is one example. As a mixed-use district, it will comprise district cooling, solar power deployment and super low-energy buildings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Green Economy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through the Enterprise Sustainability Programme, the government will support companies in embracing and developing sustainability capabilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Singapore also aims to be a carbon services hub, providing services such as green finance and sustainability consultancy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Resilient Future<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This pillar outlines the goals to fight against climate change, including building up physical defences to protect our coastlines. We\u2019ll see developments piloting the use of cool paint to combat rising urban heat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, more food will be produced locally as we move towards increasing our local production to 30%. As Singapore currently imports more than 90% of its food, we\u2019re more susceptible to disruptions in regional food production.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How will the Singapore Green Plan 2030 affect property developments and sustainability in Singapore?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only will the Singapore Green Plan 2030 change the way we live, work and play, it will also transform property development in the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Less land available for property developments<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is one of the more obvious impacts of the plan. With 1000ha set aside for green spaces, it also means lower land supply available for property development, be it for housing or commercial purposes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But having more nature in the city isn\u2019t the only factor that will decrease land supply. Increased local food production will also affect land supply, as more land will be allocated for farming needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Altogether, a lower land supply available for property developments will consequently lead to higher land prices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Rise in property valuations<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given the shift towards sustainability, businesses and investors have been opting for more sustainable properties. While this is beneficial in the long run, the higher demand will push prices up, exceeding their real value.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the lower supply of green buildings, the increased demand can lead to a bubble in the short run. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/business\/property\/green-buildings-facing-frothy-valuations-in-esg-push-smu-mapletree-panel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned by experts at a recent panel<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the higher prices are not justified given that rents have not been increasing as significantly. Tenants have not been paying more for space in green buildings either.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cost-wise, lower returns in green buildings are expected, as we\u2019re currently overpaying for green buildings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A similar trend of higher price valuations can also be seen in residential developments such as the Tengah BTO projects. Although the estate is not developed yet, application rates for its launches so far are comparable to those in non-mature estates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_40037\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40037\" style=\"width: 601px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/singapore-green-plan-2030-hdb-solar-panels.jpg\" class=\"img-link media-img img-link media-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-40037 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/singapore-green-plan-2030-hdb-solar-panels.jpg\" alt=\"Solar panels installed on the rooftops of HDB blocks\" width=\"601\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/singapore-green-plan-2030-hdb-solar-panels.jpg 553w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/singapore-green-plan-2030-hdb-solar-panels-150x84.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-40037\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Solar panels installed on the rooftops of HDB blocks.

As Singapore aims to be a hub in green finance, more financial institutions here will offer loans for green properties.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This makes it easier for developers of new and existing buildings to incorporate green technology, such as cleaner energy, into their properties.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just last month in March, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesstimes.com.sg\/banking-finance\/nex-mall-owner-bags-s900m-green-loan-from-dbs-ocbc-and-uob\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NEX received its first green loan amounting to S$900 million from DBS, OCBC and UOB<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This came after it received a BCA Green Mark Gold Plus certification for its improvement in its sustainability efforts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This includes enhancing its recycling programme, implementing a green procurement policy and installing a water management system to monitor water usage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Penalties for buildings that are not sustainable<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The potential risk is that buildings that are not deemed green will eventually have a decreased value.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the government moves towards greening 80% of buildings in Singapore, more properties will be subjected to sustainability requirements. Given the increased support for companies to adopt eco-friendly practices, there will also be more pressure to ensure the properties they use or own are sustainable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Likewise, for property owners with buildings that do not meet green standards, they may face financing difficulties in future. Lenders and insurers may be less inclined to offer financing and insurance options to these buildings, favouring greener assets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>More sustainable properties in the long term<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite a couple of drawbacks, the good news is that these pillars and impacts serve as a greater push for more sustainable property developments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The plan drives developers to consider various sustainability requirements such as eco-friendly design and energy efficiency for new and existing properties.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With more sustainable properties available for the next decade, we can expect more price stability in the long term.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you found this article helpful, 99.co recommends <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/eco-friendly-renovation-options-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eco-Friendly Renovation Options In Singapore<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/hdb-town-tengah\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HDB town Tengah to be car-free, set in greenery<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking for a property to buy or rent?
