Completed in 2016, MBC II has been designed with environmentally friendly features and has been certified BCA Green Mark Platinum, BCA Universal Design Mark Platinum Award and LEED Gold.

MCT said that the loan marks its step to green financing. DBS and OCBC acted as the green loan coordinators. The other club banks are Bank of China Singapore, Citibank N.A. Singapore and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation Singapore.

Currently, all of MCT’s existing properties have received BCA Green Mark certifications, most of which are rated at the top two categories.

MCT has earlier established a green loan framework which is guided by the Green Loan Principles (2018) published by the Loan Market Association and the Asia Pacific Loan Market Association. The framework outlines the criteria and guidelines for MCT to allocate and manage the proceeds raised as green loans.
