Net Zero is the balance achieved between consuming natural resources from the environment, and giving them back.
Living in a net zero property is the real meaning of sustainable living. This entails water conservation, generation of renewable energy, growing the food you need, and offsetting your carbon emissions.
Through collective living, we can create a community that brings people together, has a noticeably smaller ecological impact and restores local biodiversity.

From renewable energies to sustainable construction, Retrace has been built to be a low-emission neighbourhood, one where the outdoors thrive with fresh air and vibrant sceneries.
