Sustainability trends – what investors want
The real estate investment landscape has evolved.
Once primarily underpinned by high returns on investments and cash flow from property appreciation, investors now view sustainability as a long-term key revenue driver and a way to capture market demand.
On one hand, while sustainable real estate may command higher premiums and may be more resilient to climate – and therefore investment – shocks, many investors may not know where to start.
With a myriad of sustainability reporting frameworks to navigate in the real estate world, greenwashing concerns, higher investment costs, and the majority of infrastructure requiring retrofitting to meet sustainability standards, knowing which real estate trends to leverage can be the difference between a climate-resilient portfolio and one exposed to short- and long-term risks.
Sustainable real estate can also influence a nation’s total amount of emissions reductions over time as investors seek to derisk their investments by financing climate-resilient property.
This panel will discuss the key trends that are driving sustainable real estate investments, and how investors can fortify their investments amid increasing and unpredictable climate risks.
