CONTERA always strives to be environmentally friendly. It is our responsibility to consider the impact we have on our environment and society.

Brownfields revitalization

Brownfields offer a wide potential for further development, especially when greenfields have become a rare commodity in prime locations. Furthermore, time preparation and financial aspect of brownfields have become more attractive as public entities push and support the redevelopment of these sites, which have a positive social and economic impact on the given area.

In the realm of real estate development, we perceive the revitalization of brownfields as the cornerstone of sustainability.

In cooperation with public entities, CONTERA works on implementing the above strategy with the objective to give a second life to the neglected sites, ensuring the creation of a new functional environment. Indeed, despite their historical background we provide best spoke A-Class properties meeting the latest market standards, respecting local regulations, and improving the status of the cities.

At Contera we are proud that our entire portfolio consists of 85% of brownfield revitalization.

We make BREEAM happen

Contera is committed to integrating sustainability into its projects. To ensure that our buildings align with best sustainability practices, we utilize the world-renowned BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) certification, which is the world's first standardized method for assessing building sustainability.

Our goal is to achieve BREEAM certification at the Very Good level or higher for our entire range of properties. This commitment extends not only to our new projects but also to our existing buildings.

Our long term goal is to certify all new development at minimum level Very Good.

Supporting renewable resources

As part of our sustainable initiative all our buildings are designed and constructed with the possibility to install solar panels. We plan to install solar panels on all our buildings within the coming years. Our solar initiative allows Contera to offer renewable energy to our tenants, enabling them to reduce their operational costs while at the same time providing them with a viable source of renewable energy for aligning their own sustainability goals.

Greenery is our focus

The surroundings of our buildings are very important to us. That is why green areas are an essential aspect in all our parks. We use local and diverse type of greenery to ensure biodiversity.

In line with our commitment to sustainable practices and in accordance with BREEAM requirements, we go beyond greenery. We install bird houses, insect hotels, and reptile shelters, providing additional shelter and nesting opportunities for wildlife within our parks

We integrate outdoor seating areas, offering spaces for relaxation and socialization. Our parks also feature bike stations, encouraging sustainable transportation options and promoting an active and healthy lifestyle.
