Project Overview
LatAm Logistic Properties is committed to developing and operating modern, efficient and sustainable logistics parks that adhere to world class industry specifications. As part of its commitment to sustainability, the company requires that all new warehouses comply with EDGE.
LatAm Parque Logístico Coyol I Warehouse 500 is located in Alajuela, Costa Rica and was developed for companies looking for a sustainable distribution center for goods. The building was designed to be highly resource efficient, taking into account the local Costa Rican climate to reduce the electricity and water required to operate the building.
Why EDGE?
LatAm Logistic Properties is dedicated to integrating sustainability into its core business. Part of its value proposition is the long-term benefits of efficient warehouses. The company has committed to integrating ESG into all of its operations and ensure that decisions take the environment, social responsibility and governance into consideration.
A big driver to use EDGE has been the quantifiable nature of the resource efficiency savings. Efficiency savings are attractive to both external investors, as well as the tenants who use the warehouses. The ability to communicate and focus on savingst gives LatAm Logistic Properties a market differentiator and attracts new tenants and investors.
The company uses EDGE to complement Bandera Azul Ecologica, a local Costa Rican certification scheme. EDGE allows LatAm Logistic Properties to standardise its green building designs and roll them out across all the countries they operate in throughout Latin America, and then they use the Costa Rican standard to certify additional sustainability components.
“We are committed to designing sustainable warehouses. EDGE has allowed us to standardize our approach and ensure all of our warehouses are designed with sustainability in mind. With EDGE, we can find operational savings and prove our sustainability credentials with the certification to key stakeholders.”

The company now requires that all new warehouses comply with EDGE.
