Expanding to RES
In addition, Dimand has decided to expand its activity in the field of renewable energy projects, with the management noting that it can complement the main activity of the company, in the sense that the energy produced can directly power properties under development, improving their energy footprint.
Already, from July 2021, the firm signed a long-term lease agreement with the National Bank for the lease of a 400-acre property in Galatista, Halkidiki, and has started actions to obtain a power generation license with a total power output of 36MW from photovoltaic components.
Leader in green buildings
The group has been a pioneer in the development of certified green building projects, with the development of the first LEED building in Greece in 2013 (Karela office building complex), while it holds the highest share in this category in the Greek market, either as a development company, project manager, or manufacturer
More specifically, according to the USGBC official data, there are 30 certified buildings in Greece in the aforementioned categories, of which 9 have been developed by Dimand, 2 have been constructed by Dimand, while in one Dimand provided project management services. It follows from the above that the Group has been active in the development of 40% of such domestic certified projects.
At the same time, aiming not only at certification but also at increased quality, all the Group’s projects are at least Gold level and in addition it has in its assets two completed Platinum level projects (one through development services and one through management services).
