CDJ Southwest I, a modern industrial facility located in the Parque Industrial Aeropuerto in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, has officially earned LEED v4 certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). The certification, verified by Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI), marks a major milestone for Centinela Property, reflecting its continued commitment to sustainable industrial real estate development.

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification is awarded to buildings that meet criteria in areas such as energy efficiency, water conservation, indoor air quality, and innovative design. The certification positions CDJ Southwest I as a benchmark for sustainable industrial infrastructure in northern Mexico.
