Because old buildings are the best ones

20% of all greenhouse emissions in New Zealand are contributed by the built environment, most of which is C02. That’s why Alberts focuses on redeveloping upcycled buildings rather than new builds, making us a better choice to help you meet your corporate green goals.

Our carbon credentials helped contribute to our BEST IN CATEGORY: Commercial Office at the Property Industry awards.

Sustainability first

All Alberts office buildings have an energy efficient infrastructure that will help manage your office carbon footprint and keep your ongoing carbon consumption as low as possible.

More than 60% of embodied carbon emissions in a building are associated with the structure, frame, upper floors and roofs. We believe well-designed and executed upcycling works can retain these elements, resulting in a more sustainable building.

 

Impeccable green credentials

Alberts is committed to sustainability and incorporates ecofriendly practices into all of our operations. We have achieved an NBS of 100%, a Wiredscore Gold accreditation and target a NABERS rating of more than 4.5 stars.

The team behind 1 Albert Street have delivered a project that gives a new lease of life to this prominent building, adding huge value as an investment, to its inhabitants and to the wider precinct
