Our Approach
We always strive to be as environmentally responsible as possible. We’re conscious of our impact not only on nature but on the broader society.
Brownfield Revitalization
Brownfield redevelopment is a key element of building modern, sustainable communities. Each brownfield site we transform helps us breathe new life into forgotten places while reducing pressure to build on greenfield land. Together with our partners, communities, and public institutions, we carefully transform these spaces into thriving areas where people enjoy working and living.
We consider brownfield revitalization a fundamental pillar of sustainability in development.
We build modern structures on these sites based on the latest trends, always respecting local regulations and character. This improves the reputation and appeal of the cities involved.
We are proud that 85% of our portfolio is built on brownfield land.

BREEAM Certification
We are committed to integrating sustainability principles into all our projects. Our aim is to ensure that our buildings meet the highest environmental standards. We apply BREEAM certification – the world’s first and most widely used method for assessing building sustainability.
All new projects are designed with the goal of achieving the highest certification levels possible.

Support for Renewable Energy
All our buildings are designed and built with the potential for solar panel installation. In the coming years, we plan to equip all properties in our portfolio with photovoltaic systems. This step allows our tenants to access sustainable energy and reduce their operational costs, while also supporting their own ESG goals.
PV Grants
Our companies Retail Park Říčany 1 s.r.o. and Retail Park Říčany R2 s.r.o. received EU grants for the installation of photovoltaic systems without battery storage. This initiative aligns with our long-term sustainability strategy to reduce the energy intensity of our buildings.
Green Landscaping and Local Environment
The surrounding environment of our buildings matters. Every park we develop includes landscaped green areas. We use local and diverse plant species to support biodiversity.
In line with our BREEAM commitments, we go beyond landscaping – we install birdhouses, insect hotels, and shelters for reptiles to support wildlife habitats in our parks.
We also integrate outdoor seating areas for relaxation and social interaction, as well as bicycle stands to promote sustainable transport and a healthy lifestyle.
Technical Standards
To ensure quality and consistency across all projects, we follow detailed technical design standards outlined in our internal White Book. This includes everything from energy-efficient LED lighting to landscaping, walkways, and infrastructure requirements.

Project Outcome
The benefits include clean operation, high energy recovery, and a strong message promoting emission-free and sustainable mobility to our partners and the public.
