Krakow KREO with the highest BREEAM certification rating

KREO, the newest investment by Ghelamco in Krakow, obtained BREEAM certification at the Outstanding level. BREEAM, the oldest and most recognized independent system for assessing buildings and infrastructure projects in the world, is the benchmark standard in the industry. The assessment covers diverse criteria, such as the quality of the building, its impact on the natural environment and comfort for users, and the evaluation process takes place at every stage of project implementation. The certificate for KREO was awarded in accordance with the rules of BREEAM International New Construction 2016.

KREO is distinguished by its high energy efficiency. The office building consumes over 31% less energy than the reference building, meeting the requirements of the applicable Technical Conditions, which was confirmed by the Green Building Standard certificate.

However, BREEAM Outstanding and Green Building Standard are not the only systems in which Ghelamco certifies its project in Krakow. In April, KREO also received a WELL pre-certificate, which is preliminary confirmation of actions aimed at obtaining the final WELL certificate. Additionally, Ghelamco was the first developer in Central and Eastern Europe to certify its investments in SmartScore and WiredScore systems, assessing intelligent solutions and technological advancement. KREO will also meet the requirements of the "Barrier-free facility" certificate, confirming full adaptation to the needs of people with disabilities. The eight-story KREO building offers easily customizable offices with a total area of over 2,700 sqm. Users have access to an extensive green rooftop terrace, which offers a view of Krakow's panorama and Wawel.

Inside the building there is extensive bicycle infrastructure, including parking for over 70 bikes, showers and lockers. Car users have access to over 300 parking spaces in an underground garage and an additional 24 spaces in front of the office building. Additionally, charging stations for electric vehicles are provided.

A unique advantage of Ghelamco's investment in Krakow is its location, enabling easy access to Krakow's city center and proximity to historic districts, such as Kazimierz and Stare Podgorze. KREO's location promotes the use of both public transport and bicycles - a trip to the Old Town takes no more than 15 minutes.
