The 11,000m2 residential building will house 179 apartments. The 10-story structure will house one and two-bedroom apartments. The Alfred residential project is part of the Emil Kolben Quarter Phase II residential development project.
Roof photovoltaic panels will be fitted to power corridor lighting and the apartment ventilation system in order to receive BREEAM environmental certification.
