| NEINVER
has completed the BREEAM certification process for FUTURA Park Kraków.
This is Poland’s first center to obtain a certificate with the ‘Very
Good’ mark. FUTURA Park Kraków is also the country’s first retail center to receive a BREEAM certificate at the design stage and then undergo a verification procedure after being developed. In the two-stage certification process, NEINVER Poland’s most recent investment was evaluated in 10 categories – management, health, energy, transport, water, materials, waste, spatial development and ecology, pollution and innovativeness. The certificate proves that FUTURA Park Kraków has met BREEAM requirements in all the aforesaid categories at a very good level. Meeting BREEAM sustainable development conditions, FUTURA Park Kraków became an example of pioneering ecological large-scale solutions in a newly-built retail complex. Thanks to intelligent building systems, it is highly eco-friendly. It features energy-saving elevators and escalators, heat exchangers allowing energy recovery from the air and daylight detectors. "NEINVER’s strategy consists in the development of new centers in line with sustainable construction standards. While running new investments, just as in case of FUTURA Park Kraków, we are going to implement innovative and energy-saving technologies that minimize the impact upon the environment,” says Rafal Elzanowski, Investment Director at NEINVER Poland. FUTURA Park Kraków’s certification procedure saw the involvement of Tebodin Polska, a consulting/engineering company that oversees the whole investment. "Each investment task is aimed at meeting current needs. In case of this investment, it was also important to retain the development potential of future generations, which is the main idea behind sustainable construction. Adequate technical and material solutions, respect for the environment and natural resources and friendly shaping of a workplace are as important as the awareness and promotion of eco-friendly activities. FUTURA Park Kraków combines a retail park and FACTORY outlet center under one roof. The modern retail complex features a space of 44,000 m² and 140 service or retail units run by Polish and international brands. It consists of two retail formats that complement one another – an outlet center with a fashion zone and a convenient shopping section in the retail park. Source: NEINVER | |
