SPONSORED: Pro-Invest Group – Incorporating sustainability in new development and existing assets

Making the commercial real estate market more sustainable requires considerable upgrades of existing assets. A sponsored report by Pro-Invest Group, “Saving the world doesn’t have to cost the Earth — ESG positioning for new builds, as well as existing assets,” which was published in the May issue of Institutional Real Estate Asia Pacific, explores the challenges and benefits of taking on this retrofitting work. “Sustainable returns are well within reach. But we must act with haste by not only looking at new builds, but also at the possibilities that existing assets hold for ESG repositioning, as it will prove very difficult to manage a real estate portfolio on failing foundations,” note authors Tim Sherlock, managing director, and Cindy Van Der Wal, ESG manager, both of Pro-Invest Group.
