T
he Quad Central is projected to achieve LEED®
(Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design) Platinum certification from U.S. Green
Building Council ('USGBC'), laying the ground
to make this not only one of Malta's, but also
one of Europe's most sustainable developments.
The Quad Central will be a true next-generation develop-
ment, joining the ranks with some of Europe's most iconic
and 'greenest' buildings, including Frankfurt's skyline-defining
Messeturm and The Crystal in London.
As part of the certification process, the design submission
was made to the USGBC for preliminary accreditation, with a
further construction submission to be presented upon project
completion.
