Madrid, April 24, 2025 – SILICIUS Real Estate, a SOCIMI specialized in the long-term management of real estate assets with stable rents, is reinforcing its commitment to sustainability by reaching 46% of the value of its portfolio certified under the BREEAM standard (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology), one of the most internationally recognized environmental assessment methods for buildings.
Throughout 2024, several assets have either obtained or renewed this certification in the “In-Use” category, standing out for their energy efficiency, sustainable management, and user well-being.
Newly certified properties include:

With these additions, 100% of SILICIUS’ shopping centers now have valid BREEAM certification, consolidating the SOCIMI’s strong commitment to responsible and environmentally respectful management.
According to Yann Chretien, Head of General Services at SILICIUS, “These certifications reflect our ongoing work to integrate ESG criteria into the management of our assets, increasing the long-term value of our portfolio and generating a positive impact in the areas where we operate.”
SILICIUS continues to work toward expanding the number of certified properties in the coming years, in line with its sustainability strategy and commitment to efficiency, quality, and user well-being.
In 2024, the SOCIMI also took a major step in sustainability with the publication of its first Sustainability Report, which received a Gold Award from EPRA (European Public Real Estate Association) under the Best Practices Recommendations (BPR) category.
