Romania Globalworth TCI is LEED certified

ESG
Globalworth Tower Center International, the fourth-tallest office project in Bucharest, serving more than 2,000 occupants, has been granted the LEED certification by the U.S. Green Building Council.

Globalworth Tower Center International, located in the CBD area of Bucharest, is operational since 2012. The project offers an area of 22,500 sqm.

The certification recognizes the implementation of measures to create a healthy, energy and cost-efficient workspace. Globalworth TCI provides efficient, comfortable and sustainable office spaces that save energy, water and resources, generate less waste and support occupant well-being. This reduces operational costs, increases productivity and contributes to employee retention.

Cushman & Wakefield Echinox coordinated the LEED certification process.

Considering the fact that Globalworth Tower Center was undergoing an extensive retrofitting process, we tailored the certification strategy to include a blend of the existing characteristics which already ensured high sustainability score (e.g. location, transportation and site categories) and other aspects that needed upgrade (e.g. building services), so that the asset corresponds to the latest certification standard demands.
