Sustainable Serviced Apartments
How We Found a Sustainable Serviced Apartment in Hong Kong for an ESG Executive?
The Challenge: Aligning Luxurious Living Experience with Environmental Values
Our client, a Senior ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Consultant relocating from London to Hong Kong, faced a unique dilemma. While most high-end relocation requests focus on harbour views or clubhouse facilities, her priority was sustainability.
She required a temporary home that met strict sustainability criteria:
Indoor Air Quality: A unit free from high VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and equipped with high-grade filtration.
Energy Efficiency: A building utilizing smart climate control to minimize carbon footprint.
Sustainable Infrastructure: Ease of access to recycling facilities and organic food options in a busy city like Hong Kong.
To find the perfect sustainable serviced apartment in Hong Kong, our team moved beyond standard listings. We focused on properties that carry international and local green building certifications, such as LEED or BEAM Plus.
Our filter was concentrated in neighbourhoods that support a "low-carbon" lifestyle:
Sheung Wan Serviced Apartments: For maximum walkability to the office, reducing the need for daily transport.
Quarry Bay Serviced Apartments: For proximity to "Blue-Green" spaces and the Mount Parker hiking trails.
The Vetting Process: We personally inspected ventilation systems and confirmed the use of eco-friendly cleaning products and low-flow water fixtures.
The Solution: A quiet & low toxin apartment close to the Heart of the City
We eventually secured a serviced apartment in a building recognized for its architectural sustainability. The residence offered:
Advanced Air Purification: Medical-grade HEPA filters were installed to combat urban pollutants.
Smart Energy Management: Sensors that automatically adjust lighting and cooling, resulting in significantly lower utility waste.
Organic Living: We provided a custom "Green Map" of the neighborhood, highlighting bulk-buy grocery stores and nearby yoga studios.
The Results: A Seamless, Carbon-Conscious Transition
By prioritizing wellness and sustainability, the client was able to maintain her lifestyle from day one without compromise.
Zero-Waste Move-in: We coordinated a plastic-free arrival, ensuring no single-use water bottles or excessive packaging were present.
Improved Well-being: The client reported better sleep quality due to the double-glazed soundproofing and superior air quality.
Long-term Success: What began as a 2-month stay turned into a 6-month extension, as the client found it difficult to find a permanent home that matched the "Green" standards of her serviced residence.
Expert Tip: Sustainable living in Hong Kong is no longer a niche—it's a requirement for the modern executive. Whether you are looking for LEED-certified buildings or simply a quiet, low-toxin environment, our concierge team specializes in finding homes that align with your values.
