Sustainable Design & Development

Orelium supports the sustainable design and development of new neighbourhoods. We create strong project identities by analysing the local neighbourhood to make sure that the project fits right in. Elements such as walkability, proximity of amenities and services and connectivity to transit oriented networks are what it is all about.

At an early stage of the project Orelium can be of assistance to calculate the feasibility of development alternatives, clearly stating benefits and risks for the private as well as for the public partner.

Once the project definition has been established, we apply a sustainability metric to track progress and to make sure that the ambition translates into reality. Orelium has experience with most sustainability metrics.

One particular area of expertise is brownfield development. These projects often involve assessment of the clean-up costs, masterplan optimisation, the preservation of existing heritage buildings, site redevelopment and establishment of a new project identity.
