Malikha Condominium is aiming to become Myanmar's first LEED accredited building

Malikha Condominium is an ambitious new residential development located in Yangon, Myanmar. It is aiming to become Myanmar’s first LEED accredited building.

The 53 unit luxury condominium will be a first for Yangon in many ways, including: the first LEED accredited building; the first duplex residential units and the first residential Skygardens. The design concept takes subtle references from its historical vernacular and reinterprets them in a modern way.

This development will prove to be a landmark project for Myanmar in raising the awareness of the importance of sustainable architecture.

One of our projects, MediaCityUK in Salford, UK, was the first development in the world to obtain BREEAM Sustainable Community status.
