Multi - Retail General - Dresden, Germany

Date: 17 Jun 2009

After Multi Development Germany GmbH received the "Very Good" BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) certificate for Forum Duisburg last year, another Multi project sets even higher standards by being awarded BREEAM "Excellent" certification. Centrum Galerie is the first building in Germany, and the first shopping mall in continental Europe, to receive this highest BREEAM certification level.

Centrum Galerie Dresden is in a class of its own, with its architectural quality and social service offerings such as a day-care centre on the roof, but also in terms of environment-friendliness and sustainability.

"We are very proud of having received BREEAM "Excellent" certification, as sustainability is a key priority in all Multi projects, along with high-quality architecture. The award of this certificate highlights our extensive commitment in this sector," said Multi project manager Jörn Kreuzahler.

The British certification system is currently the most common international method for evaluating the environmental impacts of real estate projects and is the oldest certification for sustainable construction. BREEAM considers the overall environmental performance of a building, from design to construction and use. Also the ICSC (International Council of Shopping Centers) have identified BREEAM as the best assessment method and is the initiator of the PAN-European BREEAM Retail Assessment scheme, which is in the final stage of completion.
