A GROWING TREND

THE BEACON 
Dubbed ‘the world’s most sustainable residential tower’, The Beacon is blazing a trail in eco-friendly property development. Situated in Hemel Hempstead, just outside London, residents will enjoy a 70-80 per cent reduction in heating costs thanks to innovative mechanical ventilation and heat recovery systems, while solar photovoltaic panels, rainwater harvesting, ground-source and air-source heat pumps and electric car and bike hire schemes only add to the green features. Terraces with winter gardens, hot tubs and electro-glass should please investors in the premium Skyline apartments, but a communal roof sky garden ensures that the benefit of outside space is available to all.
