The purpose of this study is to develop the sustainability indicators for assessing environmental sustainability of site-scale development projects. This research, out of these projects, focuses on environmental sustainability of apartment estates in the stage of planning and design. In order to achieve the aims of this study, first priority was given to set up systematic framework of sustainability indicators. Based on the framework, the assessment categories and indicators by each category were established. Secondly, for securing and finding out the feasibilities of selected indicators, they were applied to some of apartment estates in Seoul metropolitan area with obtainable data in the stage of planning and design. As the result of the application, feasible indicators were obtained and the grades of measured values were deduced. Thirdly, this paper presented comprehensive environmental sustainability indicators by making an index from the deduced indicators. The weighted values of each indicator were obtained by questionnaire survey of the experts.
