BuildGreen and SUMMA announced that five buildings in Chișinău, with a combined area of around 90,000 sqm, have achieved LEED v4.1 Existing Buildings certification at Platinum level.
The certified assets include Shopping Malldova (25,000 sqm GLA), Malldova Office (15,000 sqm GLA), Medpark International Hospital (25,000 sqm GFA), Courtyard by Marriott (over 7,400 sqm GFA) and Radisson Blu Leogrand Hotel Chișinău (18,500 sqm GFA). All properties are part of SUMMA’s portfolio in the Republic of Moldova.
Răzvan Nica, CEO and founder of BuildGreen, said: “The certifications achieved by the buildings in SUMMA’s portfolio in the Republic of Moldova represent a dual validation, both of the consistent, long-term implementation of the company’s ESG policies and of the positive evolution and alignment of Chișinău’s real estate segment with European standards. The entire assessment process took five months and showed that, beyond the certifications themselves, continuous investments in improving building efficiency deliver significant returns, both from a business perspective and in terms of the projects’ long-term relevance.”
The five buildings are part of different asset classes, including retail, office, healthcare and hospitality. Shopping Malldova, developed in partnership with Fiba Commercial Properties through Anchor Group, together with Malldova Office and the Courtyard by Marriott hotel, form the Malldova Centre mixed-use scheme. Medpark International Hospital is a private healthcare facility, while the two hotels operate under international brands.
According to the companies, the certification process highlighted reductions in resource consumption across the portfolio. Measures included improved water efficiency at Shopping Malldova and energy optimisation across the office, hospital and hotel buildings. Medpark also recorded results in water performance through monitoring systems and efficient equipment.
All five properties achieved results above average in indoor environmental quality, supported by air quality measurements and ventilation standards. Waste management systems and selective collection processes were also assessed as part of the certification.
The process took approximately five months and included on-site evaluations, technical audits and analysis of operational data covering energy, water and waste over a 12-month period. Additional criteria included indoor air quality testing, system performance reviews and feedback from building occupants.
