Globalworth has secured BREEAM In-Use v6 Outstanding certification for three additional office buildings in Poland, increasing the share of its Polish office portfolio with the scheme’s highest rating to 25%.
The newly certified properties are West Gate and Retro Office House in Wrocław, together with Silesia Star in Katowice. According to the company, only 12 office buildings in Poland currently hold the Outstanding rating, while 63 office buildings worldwide have achieved this level under the BREEAM In-Use v6 Part 1 standard.
Globalworth said the certifications reflect its long-term strategy of modernising existing assets through ongoing technical upgrades rather than major redevelopment projects.
The BREEAM In-Use v6 assessment places greater emphasis on operational performance, climate resilience, resource management and occupant wellbeing than previous versions of the certification.
West Gate achieved an overall score of 89.6%, including the maximum 100% score in the Resilience category following climate risk assessments and adaptation measures. The building also scored more than 86% in energy, materials and transport, supported by biodiversity initiatives including pollinator planting and habitats for birds and insects.
Retro Office House received an overall score of 86.3%. The office building achieved full marks in the Resources category and 94.4% for Resilience after upgrades including an integrated water monitoring system, expanded operational analysis and improved building management systems. The property has also received the “Object without Barriers” accessibility certification.
Silesia Star in Katowice achieved an overall score of 87.2%, including maximum points for Resilience and more than 95% in the Resources category. The development incorporates building management systems, water-saving technologies, green terraces, rainwater retention, cycling facilities, electric vehicle charging infrastructure and biodiversity measures. The complex also meets accessibility standards recognised through the “Object without Barriers” certification.
Globalworth said the certifications demonstrate the effectiveness of its portfolio management strategy, which focuses on maintaining and upgrading existing buildings to preserve long-term asset value while reducing operating costs for tenants.
According to the company, its entire Polish office portfolio is now BREEAM certified, with approximately 75% of assets rated Excellent and 25% achieving the highest Outstanding classification.
Globalworth also noted that one-quarter of its Polish office portfolio has received accessibility certification, reflecting increasing occupier demand for inclusive workplaces alongside environmental performance.
