Newdock Fahala, the first logistics centre in Andalusia to obtain LEED ® Platinum certification

 

This achievement marks a milestone at a national level, making it the fourth project in Spain and the seventh in Europe to attain this recognition.

El compromiso de Newdock con la sostenibilidad se hace patente con esta nueva certificación que se suma a las ya existentes en el portfolio. Con esto, el 50% de todos los proyectos reconocidos con el codiciado certificado LEED Platinum en España llevan el sello distintivo de Newdock, que ha logrado certificar el 100% de su superficie en activo bajo esta norma internacional.

Este importante reconocimiento es el resultado de una serie de medidas enfocadas en la sostenibilidad del edificio. Entre ellas, se incluye la implementación de un avanzado sistema de gestión de edificios (BMS, por sus siglas en inglés), que permite un control eficiente del consumo de energía y agua. Asimismo, se ha priorizado el uso de luz natural y la adopción de energías renovables, lo que contribuye no solo a la eficiencia y reducción de costos, sino también a la disminución significativa de la huella de carbono de las operaciones del edificio.

 

 

This effort to create sustainable facilities has been rewarded. The District Show congress, held in Barcelona between 20 and 22 September, recognised the Newdock Fahala Logistics Park with The Best Real Estate Investment Destination award. The main reason for awarding this prize to our centre in Cártama is the fact it has achieved LEED® Platinum certification.

Newdock’s commitment to sustainability is not limited to environmental measures, but also includes the well-being of people. The offices within Newdock Fahala are equipped to achieve the prestigious WELL® certification, ensuring a healthy working environment and contributing to attracting and retaining talent.

“LEED® certification is widely recognised as the leading standard for energy-efficient buildings,” says Antonio Ruiz, Newdock’s director of design and sustainability. Since its development by the US Green Building Council in 1993, this certification has gained widespread consensus in the marketplace, endorsing buildings that meet the highest standards of eco-efficiency and sustainability. There currently exist more than 14,000 LEED-certified buildings worldwide, though very few have achieved the coveted Platinum rating, the highest of all LEED-certified buildings.

Newdock Fahala is a unique logistics facility in Malaga, with a surface area of over 57,000 square metres. Strategically located in the municipality of Cártama, just 20 kilometres from the centre of Málaga and 8 kilometres from the area’s main distribution hub, the logistics park consists of three modular buildings with capacity for up to 9 tenants. With 67 loading bays and 9 level access ramps, Newdock Fahala’s infrastructure has been designed with operational efficiency and user convenience in mind.

Newdock now demonstrates its leadership in developing sustainable, eco-efficient projects, reaffirming its commitment to preserving the environment and the community’s wellbeing.
