Abstract

The study aims to assess the sustainability status of green buildings for vertical housing in Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN). It responds to growing environmental, social, economic, infrastructure, and institutional challenges driven by rapid urban development. Using the Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) approach, combined with Monte Carlo simulations, the research evaluates five key dimensions of sustainability: environment, economy, social, infrastructure, and institution. Data were collected from expert respondents through purposive sampling and analyzed using leverage and stress value validation. The findings reveal that the vertical housing model in IKN falls within the highly sustainable category, with strong performance across all assessed dimensions. The study emphasizes the role of green building practices in supporting smart city goals, reducing carbon emissions, and enhancing urban livability. Results are expected to inform policy decisions and contribute to the formulation of effective sustainability strategies in large-scale urban development. © 2025 The authors.
