The buildings at Maldugu\u0146u iela 2 and 4 of the Business Garden R\u012bga office campus developed by Vastint Latvia became the first real estate projects in operation in the Baltic States to be awarded the international WELL Health-Safety rating.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The WELL Health-Safety rating is an evidence-based real estate rating system that prioritises the health, safety and well-being of building users. The framework was developed by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) and is based on the WELL Building Standard and the expertise of more than 600 scientists and practitioners.<\/p>\n

The assessment is a proof of excellence in health and safety achieved by developers and building managers in the post-pandemic context, focusing on aspects such as building cleaning and disinfection procedures, emergency action plans, access to healthcare, air and water quality management, stakeholder engagement and training, as well as innovation in health and safety.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe health and safety of building users has always been a priority for Vastint. Impeccable air quality, the use of eco-friendly materials, clean environment and concern for healthy living are an integral part of the Vastint construction standard. Therefore, it is only natural that the project we have developed is the first in the Baltics to be awarded the international quality seal \u2013 WELL Health-Safety rating,\u201d<\/em> comments Rom\u0101ns Astahovs, Managing Director of Vastint Latvia. \u201cThere is no doubt that the number of WELL-rated buildings in Latvia will grow, as we\u2019re putting people\u2019s well-being first in all future Vastint projects.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The evaluation highlighted the air quality system; the promotion of a healthy lifestyle by restricting smoking to designated areas; the contactless office door opening system; specially designed cleaning and housekeeping plans and guidelines for different epidemiological conditions; and the promotion of hand washing as significant advantages of Business Garden R\u012bga.<\/p>\n

The WELL Health-Safety rating was awarded to Business Garden R\u012bga upon successful completion of a third-party review by the US organization Green Business Certification Inc., confirming that the project meets the objectives and requirements of the assessment.<\/p>\n

The WELL Health-Safety rating is not the first time that Business Garden R\u012bga has raised the quality bar in the Latvian real estate market by gaining international recognition \u2013 in 2020, the office campus became the first project in the country to receive LEED Platinum certification, confirming the high quality, sustainability and energy efficiency of the office buildings that create a comfortable and healthy environment for office tenants, while significantly reducing building maintenance costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
