Construction is underway on 7R’s first Green Saver project in Kąty Wrocławskie, Poland, designed to reduce both CO2 emissions and operating costs. 7R Park Wrocław West II has just secured a total of PLN 87 million in financing from Bank Pekao S.A.
7R, a developer of high-quality warehouses, has implemented environmentally friendly solutions that will reduce operational CO2 emissions by more than 50 percent compared to buildings constructed solely in accordance with the technical requirements of Polish construction law. At the same time, these green solutions will help significantly reduce operating costs. In the future, 7R Park Wrocław West II will require significantly less electricity during operation. According to 7R’s calculations, the reduction in primary energy demand per square meter per year will be nearly 70 percent compared to current regulations.
The solutions developed for the park in Kąty Wrocławskie have generated significant interest in the market. Many tenants are increasingly taking steps to promote sustainable development. They invest in green solutions, recognizing that the initial costs will translate into substantial savings on operating expenses. From an investor’s perspective, a property with these characteristics—green, modern, and designed to reduce operating costs—will be a more attractive investment. We believe that the enhanced standard will be reflected in a correspondingly higher value for this property. We will replicate this innovative technological and business model in selected future developments. The new green parks will be built under the 7R Green Saver brand, following the concept of “Saving costs, saving the planet.”

Thanks to innovative sustainable solutions combined with low operating costs, the project has secured favorable financing from Bank Pekao S.A., including a 16.5 million euro construction and investment loan and a revolving VAT credit line of 16 million zł.
Bank Pekao S.A. finances clients’ green projects, supporting them on their path to decarbonization. We believe in sustainable buildings designed to reduce CO2 emissions, such as the new 7R warehouse in Kąty Wrocławskie. Together with 7R, we are working on more Green Saver projects.
The most important green solutions used in the building are: heating and ventilation systems featuring high-efficiency heat pumps and ventilation with heat recovery, an advanced building management system (BMS), energy-efficient LED lighting, a photovoltaic system, and its own battery energy storage unit. This will enable the storage of green energy generated by the PV system during peak production. It will be possible to use this energy during periods of lower solar energy production and higher electricity demand within the building. This innovative solution, which is unprecedented in this type of facility, will enable energy storage and thus significantly reduce the carbon footprint.

This will allow for the storage of green energy generated by the PV system during peak production. This energy can be used during periods of lower solar energy production combined with simultaneously higher electricity demand in the building. This innovative solution, which is unprecedented in this type of facility, will enable energy storage, thereby significantly reducing the carbon footprint.
