The "Real Estate Asia Award" is a prestigious industry accolade that honours pioneers in architectural innovation, sustainability, and community impact. K11 ECOAST distinguished itself among numerous entries from various countries and regions in Asia, acknowledging its pioneering concept of integrating culture with commerce, and setting new standards in sustainability and the circular economy.

Named "ECOAST" to honour its commitment to green development and coastal resource conservation, K11 ECOAST is dedicated to embedding a sustainable circular lifestyle within this coastal cultural and arts district. Currently, K11 ECOAST stands as the largest cluster of LEED Platinum pre-certified buildings in the Greater Bay Area. All three buildings have achieved the highest LEED Platinum pre-certification and WELL Building Standard™ pre-certification. Additionally, K11 HACC has received SITES Gold pre-certification.

The design of K11 ECOAST incorporates the "sponge city" concept, where its drainage system and extensive greenery function like a sponge, absorbing and permeating rainwater. The project prioritized the use of 100% local species to enhance biodiversity. Furthermore, to promote a circular economy, a portion of the façade features 100% recycled glass and metal panels.

As K11 Group's first flagship project in the Chinese mainland, K11 ECOAST transforms the combination of culture and retail into a compelling and functional commercial space. This transformation is enriched through collaborations with globally renowned architects and artists such as British architectural master Sir David Chipperfield, the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) from the Netherlands, and one of Japan's best-known contemporary architects, Sou Fujimoto. These collaborations harness creativity to transform people's lifestyles, positioning the project as a significant cultural hub and landmark in the Greater Bay Area, and attracting visitors and art lovers from around the world.
