Investors are diving into a new niche of commercial real estate, transforming high-emission buildings into sustainable, high-return properties. By buying older buildings with substantial carbon footprints and investing in green refurbishments, asset managers report strong gains: doubling their clients’ returns in just a few years by raising rents by 20% and profiting on resale. This strategy represents a profitable intersection of sustainability and real estate, signaling a shift in the CRE market where eco-friendly upgrades could reshape investment strategies.
