VGP Park Pamplona Noáin Becomes the First Building in Spain to Obtain EU Taxonomy Verification
- The property also holds the BREEAM Outstanding certification, thanks to a certification process led by Savills Arquitectura
Noáin (Pamplona, Navarra)/Barcelona, March 11, 2026 – The VGP Park Pamplona Noáin building, part of the VGP Group – a European provider of high-quality logistics and semi-industrial properties – has obtained verification of its alignment with the EU Taxonomy, becoming the first building in Spain to receive this acrreditation. Furthermore, VGP Park Pamplona Noáin also holds the BREEAM Outstanding certification, the highest environmental and quality certification, making it the first VGP building in Spain to achieve this accreditation, thanks to a process led by Savills Arquitectura.
With a constructed area of 50,000 square meters on a 147,700 square meter plot, VGP Park Pamplona Noáin—located in the municipality of Noáin, 10 km from Pamplona, the capital of Navarre—houses a high-quality, sustainable, and energy-efficient battery assembly plant for MOBIS Spain Electrified Powertrain S.L.U., part of Hyundai Mobis.
The verification of alignment with the EU Taxonomy for New Buildings, issued by the Green Building Council Spain (GBCE)—an entity accredited by ENAC—translates primarily into a rigorous assessment of climate change risks at all stages of project development, as well as a new vision for construction materials, where circularity and asset life cycle analysis play a key role.
Among other features, VGP Park Pamplona Noáin is a Net Zero building, meaning it generates the same amount of energy it consumes, using carbon-neutral sources, such as a self-consumption photovoltaic installation that produces nearly 90 MWh of renewable energy annually. It also incorporates high-performance technical solutions, such as a high-performance building envelope, efficient climate control with heat recovery, and an intelligent building management system (BMS) that allows for monitoring and optimization of energy and water consumption, with a water efficiency exceeding 56%.
Climate change adaptation measures have also been integrated—including a comprehensive climate risk assessment—among which are sustainable drainage solutions, runoff control, soil protection, and nature-based solutions that strengthen the building’s climate resilience against future scenarios.
As part of the certification process, a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has been carried out in accordance with ISO 14044, EN 15978, and the European Level(s) methodology. This study has quantified the building’s environmental impacts over a 50-year period, including the embodied carbon associated with the materials and construction processes, providing a comprehensive and transparent view of the asset’s long-term environmental performance.
For users and tenants, VGP Park Pamplona offers very low operating costs, high thermal and lighting comfort, excellent indoor air quality achieving outstanding levels in volatile organic compound tests, and a user experience aligned with criteria for well-being, health, and sustainable mobility.
A benchmark in the sustainable mobility industry
VGP Park Pamplona Noáin strengthens the region’s socioeconomic landscape. Moreover, battery assembly at the plant not only boosts local logistics and industry, but also promotes sustainable mobility throughout Spain.
As with ongoing projects in other VGP parks across Europe –where VGP is developing the infrastructure and environment required to foster technological investment–, this project illustrates the growing wave of industrial investment in Europe. Particularly notable is the strong interest in industries linked to sustainable mobility and the energy transition, which signal a fundamental shift towards a more sustainable future.
