ESG Building Certification as a benefit for Investors

Our long-term cooperation with the active and open-minded owner of Anděl Park who we provide with a comprehensive set of asset management, project management and leasing services allows us to continuously improve the building’s quality and its BREEAM In-Use certification score. During our progress towards achieving the Excellent certification level in 2021, we implemented upgrades that impacted the property’s quality in terms of:

We view certification as a tool, not a target. Before any upgrade or improvement is performed on the property, we look for the best solution by referring to the BREEAM In-Use requirements. With the guidance of BREEAM In-Use, we have enhanced the quality of Anděl Park through:

• New technical standard of the property
• Improvement of the standard restrooms throughout the building with low water consumption equipment, LED lighting, light sensors
• Reconstruction of the greenery on the terraces
• Fully equipped cycling facility with changing rooms, showers, and a bike storage room
• Fitness studio with regular classes for tenants
• Facilities and services for tenants, e.g. e-shop pick-up points
• Implementing a tenant-retention plan
• Occupier community engagement programs: special events, BBQ, breakfasts, meetings, partnership with local providers (special offers, etc.)
• Proactive communication with the tenants – meetings, events, etc.

The steps that led to this success have had a proven impact on client satisfaction and retention, demonstrated by high occupancy rates and rents exceeding the standard in the location, enhancing the property’s value and keeping it competitive on the market.
