The Future of Real Estate: Navigating Sustainability Trends Sustainability is reshaping the real estate landscape. 🌱 The importance of sustainable practices in property development and investment are green - but they're here. Navigating the complex rebuild, conversion, or construction process with LED companies, green landscape, eco-friendly materials, solar install, and various trades is tough but it's something a lot of investors aren't looking at in advance. Environmental impact and our footprint isn't the only sustainability trend shaping the future. How do you see sustainability influencing the future of real estate?

The global real estate sector is witnessing a change of era. The Three Horizons model can help to accelerate the global real estate industry's transformation into a force for Good. Regeneration is mainly about changing perspective and goes beyond sustainability. On 20 April last, I published this blog post. It is interesting to see how this movement is evolving and I feel honoured to give another keynote presentation soon on 'Real Estate industry as a force for Good' in which I am happy to plant and water the Regeneration seed. The opportunities for the real estate industry are huge, it does require a different mindset. If you are active in the real estate sector and interested in or active in the field of 'regeneration' (living systems), please sign up for the 'urban regenerators' group.

Last week I tuned into PropTech Connect’s “From Cost to Opportunity - How to act on the decarbonisation business case” webinar 👩🏼💻. It was a great discussion with a focus on meeting ESG goals by improving existing assets. One of the points Nuno Brito e Cunha made stood out: “When you buy an asset, you’re buying the future, you’re not buying its history”. Retrofitting spaces protects the value of your assets and is generally considered a far more sustainable approach to development 🏢.   As outlined in London Infrastructure 2050, “London has some of the oldest and most energy-inefficient building stock in Europe and it is expected that 80% of these buildings will still be standing in 2050”. Retrofitting is key to decreasing energy consumption 📉 and meeting ESG goals 🌱 in older assets.   👏🏼 Thank you to PropTech Connect for hosting the webinar and to the speakers for sharing their thoughts. 💚 #PropTech #ESG #Retrofit #Decarbonization

Greenhouse gas emissions are emitted throughout the entire life cycle of a real estate asset and most buildings that are in operation phase today will still be in use in 2050! This means, that not only the environmentally friendly construction has to be in focus, but especially the long-lasting sustainability of real estate assets. This holds especially true for currently energy inefficient assets, that will still be in use for many years to come.   The name of the game is therefore: Renovation!   Careful planning and thoughtful design choices during the renovation process can lead to long-term energy and cost savings, benefiting both the environment as well as real estate developers. Erste Group is therefore offering its real estate expert know how, supporting clients on this path towards sustainability, as well as a distinctive loan product for refurbishment and retrofitting of brown assets.   Contact us, to discuss how we can support you on your way towards a more sustainable future.   Also have a look at our recent Real Estate Talk, focusing on ESG in commercial real estate. Thanks to Ulrike Gehmacher (Head of ESG Office, Erste Group), Claus Graggaber (Head of CRE International Clients, Erste Group) and Stefan Predorf (Head of CRE Business Development, Erste Group) for your insights! https://lnkd.in/dUEnHS5G #realestate #esg #sustainability #ErsteGroup

ESG is becoming increasingly important in real estate. Investors and tenants are increasingly demanding that real estate assets meet certain environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards. This is driving demand for green buildings, sustainable development projects, and properties that are located in walkable, transit-oriented communities. #RealeState #Insights #ESG #Properties #Project

Committed to reshaping the future of real estate by challenging the dominance of financial returns in defining sustainability. Emphasizing the need for collaboration on sustainable measures, let's move beyond superficial promotion and integrate sustainability as a core ethos in our industry. It's not obligatory for every project, but ignoring it is a disservice. Together, we owe it to our industry and future generations to embrace sustainability conscientiously. #Sustainability #RealEstate #IndustryEthos

In the real estate landscape, certain forces are shaping our next two decades. What are the main catalysts of change expected to come over the next 20 years?

Climate Change ~ 42% Our assets face the realities of our changing climate. Adaptability and resilience are no longer optional; they're essential. Changing Customer Demands ~ 35% Clients want more than just a space. They're looking for experiences, adaptability, and value. Technological Innovation ~ 34% PropTech is changing how we operate and offer value. It's an opportunity we can't afford to miss. Decarbonisation ~ 29% The call for a green future is loud and clear. With the built environment contributing to around 40% of carbon emissions, decarbonizing real estate is the challenge of our era. While we've made strides in recognizing the importance of sustainability, it's crucial to avoid complacency. Voices in our industry warn against "greenwashing" and emphasize the genuine commitment needed. As we refurbish and innovate, our focus must remain on genuine sustainability and impactful change.
