New BREEAM certifications for several Frankfurt office buildings

Aroundtown expands green real estate portfolio in Frankfurt, Germany

Aroundtown is expanding its green portfolio in the Frankfurt metropolitan region, achieving new certifications for office buildings under the BREEAM certification standard. The buildings "Astropark", "Sigma" and "Campus Carrée" at Lyoner Str. 9, 20 and 25 as well as the building at Wilhelm-Fay-Str. 30-34, are centrally located in Frankfurt am Main.

The Lyoner Quarter in Frankfurt's Niederrad district is home to many well-known companies. Its proximity to the banks of the River Main, the city forest and downtown Frankfurt, as well as its excellent connections to public transportation, the highway and Frankfurt Airport, contribute to its popularity. The central hub of the business district is the "Astropark" at Lyoner Str. 9, with its striking architecture and large glass fronts in the middle of a park-like setting. The "Sigma" office building at Lyoner Str. 20 is an eye-catching landmark with four wings and 12 floors for flexible office use. The "Campus Carrée" at Lyoner Str. 25 has an attractive architecture and is technically state-of-the-art after extensive renovation. In addition to a representative reception area, it offers an in-house canteen, modern office space with flexible floor plans, conference rooms and a large number of parking spaces.

The office building at Wilhelm-Fay-Strasse 30-34 in Frankfurt-Sossenheim was completed in 2004 and features modern facilities in a prime location.

BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) certification is an internationally recognized award for green buildings. It assesses the environmental impact of buildings and encourages the implementation of green building practices and environmentally friendly operating strategies. Recent BREEAM and DGNB certifications in the German portfolio, including Berlin, Leipzig and Kassel, underscore Aroundtown's commitment to green development and demonstrate the company's commitment to reducing the environmental footprint.
