WELL Building

One Step Ahead with WELL Building

Prologis developed a logistics facility in Datteln, Germany, in accordance with the WELL Building Standard. The facility is the first fully equipped logistics center in Germany—and the second in Europe—to meet this standard. In close cooperation with the WELL Building Institute, Prologis adapted the WELL Building Standard to logistics real estate in 2019 to create a pleasant and healthy work environment for our customers' employees, thus raising the standard of our facilities.

WELL GOLD™ CERTIFICATE

Adapting the WELL Building Standard to logistics buildings places a focus on pleasant and healthy work environments. The complex Gold-level certification process takes time and effort. All the WELL preconditions and 40 percent or more of the optimization features have to be met to achieve the Gold-level certification.

Authorized WELL assessors spend several days onsite to evaluate a building while the facility already is in full operation. This stringent performance-based assessment is what makes the IWBI certification a true seal of quality.

Project Overview

In September 2020, Prologis completed a 27,800 square meter distribution center in Datteln, Germany. Developed speculatively and in accordance with the WELL Building Gold Standard, the facility was fully leased before completion. Through a harmonious and health-promoting work environment, we add value for our customers' employees—their most important resource.

What Features Does the Property Offer?

In the facility at Prologis Park Datteln, the air and water quality is monitored constantly. Several dispensers in the hall ensure employees easy access to drinking water, and offices and meeting rooms are equipped with high-quality sound insulation. Employees can use six monitors throughout the building to find information about air and water quality, indoor and outdoor climate, electricity and gas consumption, public transport departure times and more.

Prologis created a "living zone" with special lighting and ventilation. This area—along with indoor and outdoor vegetation, as well as art inside the facility—create a pleasant environment for employees. The outdoor areas were designed for both beauty and functionality with, for example, a sitting area, herb bed and bicycle repair station.
