DIMAND surpasses 400,000sqm of certified green buildings in Greece

DIMAND has developed more than 400,000 square metres of certified green buildings in Greece, with over 35% of the country’s LEED-certified buildings bearing the company’s signature.

According to its 2025 ESG Report, more than one in three buildings in Greece certified under the LEED BD+C (Building Design and Construction) standard has been developed by DIMAND, positioning the company among the country’s leading developers of certified green real estate.

According to the company, its strategy is centred on the adaptive reuse of existing buildings, urban regeneration projects, and the integration of ESG principles across its entire investment portfolio.

Notably, all buildings completed during 2025 either achieved or were pursuing internationally recognised environmental certifications, including LEED or BREEAM, reaffirming the company’s long-term commitment to certified sustainable developments.

Adaptive Reuse at the Core of the Business Model

A cornerstone of DIMAND’s business model is the regeneration and adaptive reuse of existing buildings rather than the expansion of the built environment. In this context, the company has completed or is developing landmark projects including Piraeus Tower, MINION, HUB 26 in Thessaloniki, and the redevelopment of the historic FIX complex, transforming dormant or abandoned properties into modern, energy-efficient buildings.

DIMAND approaches each development as part of a broader urban planning strategy, aiming to stimulate economic activity and enhance the districts in which it invests. A prime example is HUB 26, the first large-scale bioclimatic business park in Northern Greece, which currently accommodates nearly 2,500 employees, contributing significantly to the regeneration of Thessaloniki’s western gateway.

Similarly, Piraeus Tower, which remained inactive for almost five decades, has been brought back into operation as a state-of-the-art office building with LEED Platinum certification and advanced energy performance standards.

The same philosophy underpins the company’s ongoing developments, including the Piraeus Courthouse, the Cambas Project, the redevelopment of the historic FIX complex in Thessaloniki, the development at Gournes Heraklion, and a new bioclimatic office complex being developed jointly with PPC (Public Power Corporation) on Mesogeion Avenue.

Expansion into WELL Certification

In parallel, DIMAND is broadening its sustainability strategy through the adoption of the WELL Building Standard, which focuses on the health, well-being, and everyday experience of building occupants.

The PwC Greece office complex is among the first buildings in Greece to receive WELL certification, while the certification process is also underway for Piraeus Tower. The same approach extends to the company’s own workplaces, with DIMAND’s headquarters holding the WELL Health-Safety Rating, reflecting its commitment to the health, safety, and well-being of its employees.

94% of Construction Waste Diverted from Landfill

On the environmental front, the 2025 ESG Report states that 94% of construction waste generated across the company’s projects was diverted from landfill through recycling and reuse.

In addition, DIMAND’s developments have created—or are in the process of creating—more than 9,000 square metres of green spaces.

The company also places significant emphasis on its social impact. In 2025, DIMAND invested nearly €680,000 in corporate social responsibility initiatives, while 97.6% of its procurement expenditure was directed to domestic suppliers.

According to the report, every direct job created at DIMAND supports an additional 35 jobs across the wider value chain.

Greater Investment in Training and Female Representation

The report also highlights significant progress in human capital development. In 2025, each employee received an average of 24.3 hours of training, representing a fourfold increase compared with 2024.

Women account for 43.9% of the company’s workforce and 33% of its senior management team. Furthermore, no workplace accidents were recorded across the company’s projects during the year.

From a corporate governance perspective, 100% of DIMAND’s operations were assessed for corruption risks, with no incidents of bribery, ethical misconduct, or personal data breaches recorded in 2025.

Overall, the 2025 ESG Report reflects DIMAND’s strategy of investing in the adaptive reuse of existing buildings, certified sustainable developments, and urban regeneration projects, with the objective of creating long-term value for both the real estate market and the cities in which the company operates.
