CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust Awarded DGNB Silver
Certificate for Warehouse/Distribution Center in Germany
PRINCETON, N.J. – Oct. 31, 2011 – CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust has been awarded a
silver certificate from the Germany Society for Sustainable Construction (DGNB) for a
warehouse/distribution center located in Langenbach, Germany, a suburb of Munich.
The award, comparable to U.S. LEED silver certification, is given to the best-equipped
and most-energy efficient warehouse/distribution centers in the Munich region.
CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust owns an 80% interest in this property through its
European JV with subsidiaries of the Goodman Group.
The Langenbach property is a 225,106 square foot, newly built, state-of the-art logistics
facility with numerous energy efficient features including T5 lighting and radiant floor
heating powered by a wood chip furnace. The property is fully leased to transport and
logistics provider DSV and provides strategic access throughout the region.
“Many of our tenants are large, multi-national companies, who increasingly seek to
demonstrate to government regulators and other critical stakeholders their ‘green’
commitment by reducing carbon emissions and footprints throughout every facet of their
day-to-day operations,” said Jack A. Cuneo, Chairman and CEO of CB Richard Ellis
Realty Trust. “This is an outstanding achievement and a tribute to our partners and
teams for their expertise to adapt construction standards and materials to comply with
green objectives and implement maintenance and management practices that will help
DSV Stuttgart GmbH fulfill their commitment to environmentally sound practices and
goals.”
