How we contribute to sustainable urban development
Contributing to sustainable urban development in various ways is a key part of Castellum’s business. All our investments are made from a sustainability perspective. We have an ambitious sustainability programme, we have perhaps the toughest climate targets in the industry and we make sure all our new builds and major conversions are sustainability certified. We also participate in various urban networks, business associations and other social initiatives to promote safe, sustainable development in the cities where we operate.
Examples of development projects

A unique inner city district in Stockholm with 50,000 new workplaces and 6,000 homes.

Nordic Hub Säve

Sustainability a natural part of all our development projects
We work for the sustainability certification of all our new construction projects. The most common certification is Miljöbyggnad, where new construction projects for offices are to achieve Gold level and logistics are to achieve Silver level. The projects with the highest climate ambitions are certified according to NollCO2. We also work to create premises focusing on health and well-being for its tenants; the GreenHaus project in Helsingborg for example is certified under WELL.
