Mundsburg is one of the first buildings in Germany to be certified as a sustainable building by the DGNB (Deutsche Gesellschaft für nachhaltiges Bauen) in accordance with the new ‘modernisation of office and administrative buildings’ certification program. The DGNB Silver pre-certificate demonstrates the project’s sustainability, particularly with regard to space and energy efficiency, as well as tenant comfort, Alstria said.
Atos Origin was looking to improve the space efficiency of its offices and reduce its overall real estate costs. The new concept developed by Alstria for the Mundsburg Tower allowed Atos Origin to meet both goals. Olivier Elamine, CEO of Alstria Office REIT-AG said: ‘This new lease is another testimony that improving efficiency and modernizing buildings creates value both for the owner and the tenant.’
