*ESG · APAC*

## Short definition

Singapore's mandatory green building rating.

## Full definition

Tiers Certified, Gold, Gold Plus, Platinum. Mandatory for new construction in Singapore. Trophy benchmark is Platinum. Tuned for tropical climate — relatively heavier weighting on cooling efficiency than [leed](/topics/esg-leed-tenants)">LEED.

## Example

Marina One and CapitaSpring are BCA Green Mark Platinum.

## Why this matters for Class A leasing

BCA Green Mark is part of the esg vocabulary that institutional [Class A](/glossary/class-a) occupiers, landlords, and advisers use across APAC markets. Understanding it correctly affects how you read lease documents, model occupancy economics, and benchmark deal terms across cities. Class A Atlas tracks the APAC definition alongside the global standard so [cross-border](/topics/cross-border-expansion) occupiers can translate quickly.
