Eco-friendly building
According to Chan, with Pioneer’s embrace of sustainability, they have designed the building to achieve both Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for eco-friendly practices and WELL certification, a global standard that recognizes buildings designed to promote the health and well-being of its occupants.
“Through these globally recognized standards, we’re ensuring that Pioneer House BGC will be an environment where people can thrive, fostering productivity, creativity and balance. By doing this, we are building not just for today, but for generations to come,” Chan expressed.
Pioneer House BGC’s journey began with its groundbreaking in October 2019, marking the launch of one of the company’s most ambitious projects.
Forced to temporarily pause the project in 2020 due to the pandemic, the project evolved with a renewed vision for the future workplace.
In January 2022, JSLA Architects were engaged to redesign the building to meet post-pandemic needs.
Coyukiat disclosed that the construction of the updated design resumed in October 2022, marking a new chapter of progress.
Subsequently, key construction milestones progressed on schedule, culminating in the completion of the building’s structural framework on 5 November 2024.
“The next milestone will be the project’s completion on 1 December 2025, when Pioneer House BGC will become the new home for our operations and a symbol of resilience,” Coyukiat said.
