It is the first commercial development in Singapore to be certified as a Green Mark Platinum (Zero Energy) building by the Building and Construction Authority of Singapore, and is also Singapore's first commercial development to be fully powered by renewable energy. Keppel Bay Tower has an aggregate net lettable area of 386,600 square feet (comprising 383,899 square feet of office space and 2,701 square feet of retail space), and the agreed property value of S$657.2 million takes into account up to S$3.2 million of rental support to be provided over an 18-month rental support period in relation to certain vacant units and expiring leases.
