The HafenCity Ecolabel can be awarded preliminarily even before construction begins. The developer submits the applica- tion, presenting planning documentation demonstrating the special or extraordinary sustainability of its building. After positive examination by an independent agency, the project receives preliminary certifica- tion. This gives builders and developers the opportunity to convince potential buyers of the sustainability of their desired property in the early marketing phase.
