Minuo Tower, the future is now

Welcome to Minuo Tower; the future of economically and environmentally friendly easy living. The world's first skyscraper that is totally self sustainable and has 100,000 inhabitants who live, work and relax in this same skyscraper.

Don’t let the vertical living put you off, you can find everything you need within minutes of your own front door from shopping to work to your favourite entertainment. And yes, you can even enjoy some fresh air with our botanical parks or go visit our farms and see for yourself how everything you need can be produced and sustained within our beautiful city of tomorrow.

Thanks to our MACEDON Automated Systems, or MAS, installed in every home we have the world’s best in communications, controlling your home and security at the touch of a finger.

With three vertical farms situated on Minuo's grounds, there is always fresh food in the grocery store or at the markets, and it is all organic and chemical and pesticide free for your better health.

To keep everything running and secure without the inhabitants noticing we introduce to you the Minuo Towers Public Security. Situated in Minuo's control center the public service is divided into serveral departments that cover areas such as the emergency services, control center workers, security. Traditional departments such as police and firemen are not found here. The Public Security units are specially trained to deal with any and all situations to ensure your health and safety.

Few places in the spotlight

Botanical Parks

Beautiful and well maintained botanical parks are situated throughout the building, providing the much needed relaxing environment and fresh air as though really being outside at the park. One can also take their dogs for walks and exercise in these areas, and there are also picnic and bbq areas and playgrounds for the younger residents. The parks also have several horticultural practices.

Minuo Institute of Medical Sciences

Minuo Institute of Medical Sciences is a state of the art hospital that can provide all the care the 100,000 inhabitants of Minuo need. It has many specialists from all around the world. And is also affialiated with Minuo's University for medical research and the training of medical personnel.

Highlight in nightlife!

A highlight of Minuo Tower’s nightlife, and most definitely a sight to witness from the outside of the tower city, is Jiǎo Zhāi. Located about midway to the top point, the club is walled off on one side with thick glass overlooking Hong Kong. The unique feature of blue led lighting set in the glass surely makes the club stand out when its open, both from the outside and inside. The interior is a modern design, with mostly white colouring that constantly changes due to the lighting, a large spacious dance floor and stage are located closest to the windows, while the bar is the central focus point, blue led lighting surrounding the white finish and comfortable white barstools. It separates the quieter lounge area from the excitement of the entertainment area and also serves as a perfect spot to observe the activity in the rest of the club due to it being raised a little higher with a couple of steps surrounding it by a few meters out.


What can be found on Minuo’s Grounds

Minuo Tower is build so that it can provide anything you need from cradle to grave. But everyone needs to get out, and that is why Minuo’s Grouds are rather extensive and provide recreation area’s as well as several other buildings that work alongside Minuo to provide everything Minuo’s
inhabitants need.

A large collection of solar panels surrounds the base of Minuo Tower to produce renewable energy.

Vertical Farms

Three Vertical Farms are found close to Minuo Tower and link to the tower by a glass tunnel to provide quick travelling to and from the Vertical Farms. The Vertical Farms, or VFs for short provide fresh vegetables, fruit and meat all year round for the 100,000 inhabitants and visitors of Minuo Tower. The Vertical Farms produce crops by means of Hydroponics. Crops can be produced year round as growing crops is not dependant on outside factors. All the food is grown organically. A Vertical Farm greatly reduces wasting water, use of fossil fuel and adds energy back to Minuo tower via methane generation from composting non-edible parts of plants and animals

It also acts as a place for education, study and developing new ways to grow vegetables and fruit.

Minuo College and University

Also found on Minuo’s Grounds are Minuo College and Minuo’s University. It provides dorms on campus for the students for whom prefer to not go back home and experience living on their own. Minuo’s College and University are state of the art and provide the highest level of education with the newest technology. And once graduated, your education is recognized world wide.

University of Minuo opened in 2018 for the 2018/2019 school year. Because the University buildings and all facilities had been finished building and it could offer everything to the students attending. Including housing, shops etc. etc. without the need of Minuo Tower being completely finished. However now several students have moved to Minuo Tower since it's opening to inhabitants half a year ago.

Grounds

On the extended grounds around Minuo many parks, a forest and lakes can be found that eventually go over into Hong Kongs wild nature. Many paths go through the parks and forest and around the lakes to provide many different routes for people to explore walking, running, hiking, cycling or riding on horseback. What you notice most when walking through the parks is the calmness, you hear birds, the winds rustling through the trees, but no traffic noise.


How to reach Minuo Tower

Subway Station
