Sanaya Twin Towers project to be Jordan’s tallest and first eco-building
Jordan’s capital city, Amman is going to get its first large eco-building with the Sanaya Twin Towers. At over 200 meters over the city it will be the country’s tallest landmark. The $300 million project which means starlight in Arabic will require the removal of 225,000 cubic meters of earth to erect the building’s massive foundations and will be completed by mid-summer. The buildings will combine energy efficient glass, sensor lights, central air conditioning, an waste management that is expected to save operating costs by as much as $2 million each year. It will have 500 apartments of 1,2 and 3 bedrooms each, 10,000 square meters of commercial and five floors of recreation space alongside 5,600 square meter of green and open space including a landscaped park. The project will also have wind generated and water recycling systems that will cut consumption by 30%.
