As Singapore continues its evolution into a "City in Nature," biodiversity data is becoming a critical component of commercial real estate (CRE) strategy. For asset managers and sustainability teams, these metrics provide the baseline needed to respond to investor DDQs and align with emerging reporting frameworks like the TNFD.

Understanding the Biodiversity Metrics
To manage nature-related risk, real estate professionals track these four primary pillars. You can benchmark any Singapore address against these standards using the Aura tool on this page.
- Natural Cover: Represents the share of land within a 500m radius that is green or natural. Higher values indicate stronger surrounding habitat.
- MSA Land Use: A proxy for ecological intactness. Higher values indicate the environment is closer to its natural state.
- Protected Area Sensitivity Index (PASI): Measures proximity and exposure to protected lands. Higher values indicate greater biodiversity sensitivity.
- Threatened Species Total: The count of at-risk species observed within 1km over the last 10 years.
Why Biodiversity Data is the New Standard
Sustainability managers are facing a shift in investor expectations. While energy efficiency remains vital, nature is the next frontier for portfolio resilience.
- Responding to DDQs: Investors are increasingly asking for "Location-based" nature risk assessments.
- Benchmarking Performance: Data allows asset managers to identify "Nature Leaders" in their portfolio to showcase in annual reports.
- Risk Mitigation: Understanding proximity to protected areas (PASI) helps teams anticipate future regulatory constraints or land-use requirements.
