¡Somos un coworking sostenible y con certificación LEED! 🌱
We are very proud to have achieved LEED Platinum certification for our space at Castellana 79 and LEED Gold at Lexington L’illa Diagonal, reaffirming our commitment to a more sustainable and environmentally responsible work model. But what exactly does a sustainable coworking space mean? Let’s find out!
It seemed that only small businesses or digital nomads were opting for a more flexible work model, like coworking spaces. However, in recent years, we have seen how even large corporations have embraced these flexible environments, moving away from conventional setups in favor of a more versatile and dynamic service. Sustainable coworking spaces not only offer shared work areas and meeting rooms but also prioritize efficient designs, eco-friendly materials, and environmentally responsible practices.

2024 Wrapped Lexington: Experience, Growth, and Sustainability
David Vega
A conventional coworking space is a shared workspace designed for productivity, featuring offices, meeting rooms, and common areas.
A sustainable coworking space follows the same premise but is committed to the efficient use of resources, renewable energy, and eco-friendly materials, reducing its environmental impact and promoting a more responsible environment.
At Lexington, we follow a checklist of essentials to create a responsible, efficient, and environmentally conscious workspace:
As seen in our checklist, a sustainable coworking space is designed to lower CO₂ emissions by promoting energy efficiency and the use of recycled materials. Say goodbye to waste! 👋🏽
Sustainable offices incorporate smart technologies for energy conservation, such as light sensors, thermal insulation, and renewable energy sources that reduce consumption without sacrificing comfort.
Biophilic design, natural lighting, and high air quality improve professionals' well-being, enhancing their focus and productivity. Working in a healthy space means better performance! 🚀
Sustainable building certifications are like a "green passport" for constructions: a guarantee that they have been designed and managed with ecological criteria, optimizing resources, minimizing environmental impact, and creating healthier and more efficient spaces for their users.
The LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) certification is one of the most prestigious worldwide, awarded by the U.S. Green Building Council to buildings that meet high ecological standards.
To achieve certification, a building must comply with key criteria in areas such as energy efficiency, water management, sustainable materials, and air quality. Based on the level of compliance, one of these categories is granted:
To obtain this certification, a building must meet stringent criteria in five key areas: site sustainability, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, and indoor environmental quality.
In addition to LEED, other certifications validate a building’s sustainability, such as BREEAM (focused on environmental impact), WELL (focused on environmental impact) or Passivehaus (extreme energy efficiency).
The building at 79 Paseo de la Castellana, where Lexington offers 6,000 m² of flexible workspaces, has been awarded the LEED Platinum certification—the highest recognition in sustainability. This certification is given only to buildings that achieve exceptional standards in energy efficiency, renewable energy use, and eco-friendly design, minimizing their environmental impact. Additionally, it excels in water optimization, using innovative water-saving technologies that ensure responsible resource management. All of this is complemented by a healthy environment, guaranteeing excellent indoor air quality through advanced ventilation systems.
A remarkable achievement that motivates us to keep growing responsibly! 🎉
Furthermore, Lexington has received the prestigious LEED Gold certification for its space in the L’illa Diagonal Complex in Barcelona, a clear reflection of our strong commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency. This recognition not only highlights our dedication to a greener future but also demonstrates how we can achieve up to 50% energy savings compared to conventional buildings. With LEED Gold, we reach an outstanding milestone that underscores our continuous search for innovative solutions in energy efficiency and sustainable materials. ✨
At Lexington, we strive to make a positive impact on the journey toward a more sustainable future. We are committed to creating workspaces that not only foster workplace well-being but also respect the environment. Through initiatives like #WeMakeItEco, we integrate sustainability into every corner of our spaces while continuing to incorporate ESG certifications into our coworking portfolio. 🌱 Want to work in a sustainable environment?
