Imagine a time when greenery and what is called green growth were everywhere with the touch of green fingers. Unfortunately, we have to paint a picture in our mind to relish the green landscape of the past. Unlike in the countryside, greenery is like an oasis in the midst of concrete jungle in this time and age.
Now, towns people have to escape to a distant village in the hope of relishing a piece of green nature. Greenery and foliage are fast losing out to modernity, urbanisation, and industrialisation. The port city of Chattogram is no exception. This city now abounds with bricks and mortar, stones, and concrete walls that green activists regard as a concrete jungle. If you stand on the balcony or peep through the window, it is hard to see even a piece of the sky.
There was a time when a flower garden was an absolute necessity in the courtyard. Also, there used to be a fruit or vegetable farm in the backyard. However, it is time to return from the flashback to the present, as those things of the past are revisiting the urbanites through Rancon FC Properties Limited RFCPL‑. The realtor is working relentlessly to develop sustainable green structures, for both residential and commercial purposes in the port city to feed the growing customer demand for healthy and environment-friendly apartments. The city development authority has mandated setbacks in design to make the home environment healthy. If a building is designed according to the setback, it is sure to have space in front and back in proportion to the size of the land. As a result, it is possible to maintain adequate sources of light and air after the building is constructed. 
Tanvir Shahriar Rimon, CEO of Rancon FC Properties Limited, says his company attaches great importance to environment-friendly housing as the changing climate patterns, mostly due to reckless human interventions, are impacting lives and livelihoods across the world. “Our company aims to create lifestyles at all stages of the process, from design to construction and beyond.
It has set the benchmark for premium commercial and residential real estate in Chattogram. The RFCPL is the optimal choice for customers’ real estate demands in the port city. Each of our projects includes rooftop solar and rainwater harvesting systems. Apart from that, the building is made only after leaving enough space as per the setback to maintain the complete system of light and air,” he pointed out.
RFCPL attaches great importance to environment friendly housing as the changing climate patterns. Building temperature is less than 2.0-3.0 degrees celsius than any other buildings in the country.
He added, the company is crafting the art to uphold the vertical landscape in different projects, one of their specialities and attractions. Building temperature is less than 2.03.0 degrees Celsius than any other buildings in the country, thanks to use of green materials in line with their green policy, he pointed out.
Major Features of Rancon Projects
Green materials and equipment, renewable energy, energy-efficient technology, automation, water recycling, rainwater harvesting, and curbing the waste of building materials are the key features of Rancon’s projects. Every unit has natural light and ventilation. A green entrance and water fountain have been set up. Many buildings have special fire hydrant facilities. In the case of any fire incident, there are two types of systems: detection and prevention. Apart from home automation systems, there is a video intercom system and 24-hour security. Wi-Fi facilities are also there in many compounds. Several elevators, as well as generators, are available. Inspace, another concern of Rancon, is designing all of the projects. Wahidur Rahman, Inspace CEO, and principal architect, told Ceramic Bangladesh that international standard design, modernity, and aesthetics have been combined in all of their building projects.Additional facilities are available for exclusive projects. Facilities include, multiple basements and open ground floors with parking, reception, waiting area, gym, prayer space, community space, driver’s lounge, and laundry. An adequate green system has been built, Mr. Rahman pointed out.
Eco-friendly Projects
Chattogram city has been facing various problems in recent decades, such as a lack of green space, recreational facilities, and disasters. So, the RFCPL is running a total of 23 projects related to commercial and residential schemes with its green goal.
White Oak
White Oak, handed over recently as a green project, boasts an exquisite oak theme and is the first of its kind in Chattogram. The rainforest welcomes a visitor at the entrance. Three different lounges were purposefully made to engage the community, while space for a gymnasium and a mindfulness zone reduce stress and have a positive impact on the mental health of the dwellers. This white structure, standing sublimely in the tranquil Mehedibagh Residential Area, has not only transformed the surrounding area but has also revolutionised the lifestyle of its inhabitants. The RFCPL’s main objective of “Creating Lifestyles” has been achieved through this holistic approach.
Park Terrace Park Terrace is another project that the RFCPL has recently handed over to its sophisticated clients. It was designed to foster a sense of calm and well-being with thoughtful features that promote relaxation, focus, and connection. From the serene vertical garden and meditation place to the lush rooftop terrace spaces, they are carefully crafted to enhance lifestyle and spirit. It’s like a personal oasis. Challenges Facing the Real Estate Sector The real estate business, especially apartment projects, started in the late 1970s in Dhaka and the business started rising since the early 1980s. More than 793 companies are now active in business, though 95 per cent of business is still dominated by top 10 companies. Many unregistered companies are also playing a crucial role in the overall real estate business. The total worth of the country’s real estate market is estimated at Tk 580 billion (Tk 58,000 crore). The market is growing at a rate of 1215 per cent. The sector is now facing multiple stumbling blocks, according to Mr. Tanvir. Unhealthy competition is disrupting the journey as some unscrupulous market players offer cheaper prices only to cheat innocent customers with low-quality products, he said. In the city where greenery is scarce and a most sought-after dream, Rancon is there with a magic touch of all things green. Written by Sajibur Rahman
