The Sustainable City in Dubai won top honours at the Emirates Green Building Council (EmiratesGBC) 2016 Awards.

The advanced ecological community from Diamond Developers was declared the winner in the ‘Green Building of the Year’ category.

Attended by Terri Wills, CEO at World Green Building Council, and representatives of the Mena Green Building Council Network, the awards ceremony and gala dinner were held last month at the Murooj Rotana in Dubai.

Diamond Developers chief executive Faris Saeed and executive director Wassim Adlouni received the accolade from Saeed Al Alabbar, the chairman of EmiratesGBC.

“It’s an honour to be recognised by the Emirates Green Building Council for The Sustainable City. We are committed to supporting the government’s sustainable green economy and continually aim to be leaders in sustainable communities,” said Saeed.
