Investment firm Dragon Capital’s Grand Business Center is located in central Kyiv, next to St. Nicholas Roman Catholic Cathedral. In July 2020, this business center became the first office building in Kyiv to receive a sustainability certificate under the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method, known as BREEAM, the world’s foremost environmental assessment method and rating system for buildings.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development will provide Dragon Capital with a $12.5 million loan to help the investment company develop sustainable real estate in Ukraine.
The EBRD loan will partly refinance the construction of Grand Business Center, which has a rental area of 9,000 square meters in central Kyiv, and two warehouses Diana Lux Logistic in Kyiv and Terminal Kharkiv, which combined have a rental area of 26,000 square meters.
