“Technology plays a crucial role in the design, functionalityand structure of our properties” Hu Gang, CEO ofGreenland USA, tells GlobeSt.com. “Specifically,at Metropolis, we have leveraged technology in several ways.”Greenland is the developers behind Metropolis, a two-tower condocomplex in Downtown Los Angeles. The development implementstechnology at every level, from development to resident experience,and illustrates how technology can have a major impact on neconstruction.

Gang highlights how the firm leverages technology duringconstruction. “We used performance-based design technique insteadof prescriptive methods, to achieve the building height in the moststringent region for earthquake resistance,” says Gang.“Additionally, post tensioned concrete floor slabs of structuraldesign maximize the use of floor height and to reduceover-consumption of building construction materials.”
