NIB financed shopping centre awarded platinum environmental certificate

31.3.2010 News

NIB financed the building of the shopping centre with a loan of EUR 30 million. From the beginning, the new shopping centre was planned to follow strict environmental standards and apply a whole building approach for sustainable property development, which also were essential factors in NIB’s decision to participate in the financing of the project.

Already in the planning stage, Citycon aimed for the international LEED rating (Leadership in Energy and Environment Design) for the shopping centre. The LEED rating requires, among other things, sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency and environmental-friendly choices of materials and resources.
