KUALA LUMPUR, MY / ACCESS Newswire / October 9, 2025 / AmanahRaya Real Estate Investment Trust ("AmanahRaya REIT")is pleased to announce that its flagship asset, Vista Tower, has been awarded the GreenRE Silver Certification under the Existing Non-Residential Building ("ENRB v3.3") category.
Developed by the Real Estate and Housing Developers' Association (REHDA) Malaysia, GreenRE is one of Malaysia's leading green building certification systems. It serves as a national benchmark for sustainability in the built environment, promoting energy-efficient, environmentally responsible, and resource-conscious practices across commercial and residential developments.

We take our ESG responsibilities seriously and view this milestone as part of our ongoing journey towards becoming a responsible building owner, one that prioritises the well-being of our tenants, the environment, and the wider community,"said Datuk Mohd Iskandar Dzulkarnain Ramli, Managing Director of AmanahRaya-Kenedix REIT Manager Sdn. Bhd. ("AKRM").
