Green or sustainable real estate is an exciting new way to make real estate healthy and energy efficient, with better indoor air quality, lighting and temperature controls. All types of commercial and residential real estate can be built or renovated with green features. Substantial new evidence suggests that green real estate often delivers superior financial returns and market performance. As well, going green helps property owners and investors 'future proof' their real estate to address new energy efficiency regulations being enacted in the U.S. and around the globe by national, state, provincial and local governments.

• We're not just jumping on the green real estate bandwagon, we helped shape the industry. We first managed the investment process and operations for a green building in 1995, and served as the owner's representative for the first U.S. office building certified at the LEED Silver level by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).  Our founder was one of the first real estate investment professionals to earn USGBC's LEED Accredited Professional designation.

• We've worked in multiple markets and have built an unparalleled network of green real estate experts in the U.S. and internationally.  That makes us sensitive to your specific requirements and able to leverage the relationships that you need to succeed in the green real estate arena.
• The experts turn to us when they want new ideas.  That's why we've been invited to speak on green real estate investment by such global leaders as the United Nations, Harvard and Columbia Business Schools, the Urban Land Institute, the U.S. Green Building Council, and many others.

• We've literally 'written the book' on the business of green real estate.  We produced the material on green real estate investment, leasing and finance for the Urban Land Institute's authoritative book on green office development, and we're writing ULI's forthcoming book on green office renovations.
