The Galeria Amber shopping and entertainment centre, which was developed by Echo Investment in Kalisz, was awarded a BREEAM Final certificate with the ‘Very Good’ rating and the highest score in Poland in this category – 63.5 pct.
“In mid-2013 we obtained a BREEAM Interim certificate for Galeria Amber with the "Very Good" rating. The document enabled us to apply for the BREEAM Final Certificate, which is awarded when a facility has been completed in accordance with the requirements declared at the interim stage. I can say with great satisfaction that we made every endeavour and managed not only to confirm the very good grade but also obtain the highest score among retail projects on the Polish market,” says Rafał Kornatko, project manager in Echo Investment"s Shopping Centre Department.
