Sustainable Development
We help clients navigate local and national sustainability initiatives specific to environmental, social, and (corporate) governance (ESG)-related concerns to improve the efficiency and sustainability of building operations.
Overview
Real estate is playing an increased role in advancing sustainability throughout the market, creating new opportunities and challenges for those involved. We work with developers, investors, and others to understand public and private sustainable development tools, requirements, and systems, including LEED®, the green building acts, and other green building standards, while incorporating these protocols and regulations into successful development, management, and investment programs.
We counsel clients through the related risks and opportunities and myriad development, financial, and regulatory documents to comply with green standards. Capitalizing on green financial incentives, including renewable energy and other tax credits, wherever possible, we help clients maximize opportunities and achieve their long-term goals.
