Frankfurt office building awarded BREEAM green certificate

Aroundtown strengthens its green portfolio

Aroundtown continues to expand its sustainable portfolio - another office building in Frankfurt has been awarded with a BREEAM Green Building certification. This further increases the amount of green buildings in the group's portfolio.

The modern office building, constructed in 1998, is located at Theodor-Heuss-Allee 108, in the heart of Frankfurt's City-West. The trade fair grounds are in the immediate vicinity, and Frankfurt Airport is easily accessible via the A648 highway. Public transportation is within walking distance, as are shops, restaurants and cafés.

The BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) certification of the properties demonstrates that Aroundtown takes its commitment to a sustainable and environmentally friendly real estate portfolio seriously. BREEAM is one of the world's leading green building certification systems and assesses the environmental impact and sustainability of properties. Aroundtown has already successfully obtained green building certificates for its German office portfolio, including Frankfurt, Leipzig and Berlin, as well as numerous locations in the Netherlands. The sustainable, resource-conserving and ecological use and management of a property in conjunction with a successful BREEAM certification is also a relevant component of "green leases" and relevant to the sustainability goals of companies as tenants in commercial properties.
