The leading European investor, developer and operator of outlet centres, NEINVER, has achieved BREEAM In-Use certification for Amsterdam The Style Outlets.
The Dutch outlet has earned the certification for the first time, achieving a “Very Good” rating in both Asset Performance and Building Management categories.
The outlet centre excels in several key areas. With an EPC A+ rating, it ensures reduced and optimised energy consumption, contributing to overall energy efficiency. Strategically located near the Halfweg-Zwanenburg railway station and a bus stop just 500 metres away, the centre is well-served by public transport options. In addition, it offers 205 bicycle parking spaces and 40 electric vehicle charging points, promoting sustainable mobility for visitors and employees.
The centre also prioritises biodiversity, with a 4,700sq m pond surrounded by reeds and meadows that provides rainwater management and a habitat for amphibians and birds, in line with its biodiversity plan. Moreover, Amsterdam The Style Outlets operates under ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) and ISO 50001 (Energy Management) systems. The building’s climate risks are also regularly assessed to ensure the centre is well-prepared to address environmental challenges.
“At NEINVER, sustainability is at the very core of our strategy,” says Alberto Vilches, Sustainability Manager at NEINVER. “This certification demonstrates that Amsterdam The Style Outlets upholds stringent environmental standards. We are proud to see our efforts recognised as we continue to create spaces that benefit our visitors, brand partners and the surrounding communities.”
Opened in 2020, Amsterdam The Style Outlets, owned by Neptune – a joint venture between NEINVER and Nuveen’s parent company, TIAA – is the only outlet centre in the Amsterdam metropolitan area. With a gross lettable area of 19,000sq m, it hosts more than 115 stores, restaurants, terraces, a co-working space, an art gallery and covered parking. The centre is also Zero Waste certified, recovering 100 per cent of its waste.
