Citibank North Kaohsiung Branch is the 1st LEED for Retail certified project in Taiwan. Citi continues to raise the bar for green banking centers globally. Referencing sustainable guidelines developed by Steven Leach, Citi implemented green strategies as they applied to the specific scope of work and project location.

This conveniently located bank branch promotes sustainability and realizes improved business relations by connecting with the community. On the exterior, sustainable features include easy access to public transportation, nearby services, and public bicycling routes. The green rooftop provides an outdoor escape and great views, while also giving back to the environment through rainwater collection, cleansing the air, and reducing the heat island effect compared to traditional roofing materials. Indoors, the bank branch uses significantly less water and electricity, yet maintains a comfortable atmosphere with soft daylight filtering into core spaces.
