Now is the time for #REITs to put their decarbonization and resilience strategies into effect. According to a recent survey by JLL more than three quarters of lease renewals from the top 100 occupiers in eight U.S. markets will be tied to carbon commitments. JLL predicts a supply shortage of low-carbon space. It urges tenants to look beyond green building certifications to measure buildings’ operational environmental performance, including energy intensity and emissions. While technology and data capture are essential to achieving sustainability goals, few firms have the visibility they need. “Corporates should use technology and data to implement decarbonization and resilience strategies now. Do not wait until 2025,” says the JLL report.

With earnest money deposit financing, you can: ✔️ Access capital within 48 hours to accelerate the acquisition of promising properties by paying the soft deposit required. ✔️ Avoid freezing liquidity during the due diligence period while securing all land permissions. ✔️ Allocate more resources to the initial stages of the development process, enhancing the overall project feasibility.

Head to Duckfund.com or message us to schedule a call 😉. #CRE #CommercialRealEstate #CommercialRealEstateDevelopment #SoftDeposit #EarnestMoney #Developers #Development

With previous roles at the World Economic Forum, United Nations, The Economist and US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Richa Sahay, vice president of sustainability consulting, project & development services for JLL, is one of the experts we're most excited to hear speak at BuiltWorlds' upcoming Buildings Conference in NYC. In the lead up to her keynote address on decarbonization, technology, and where the two meet (both in the built world at large as well as at JLL specifically), we were able to sit down with Sahay and pick her brain about some of the industry's most pertinent issues. In this Q&A, she levels with us, talking in real-world terms about the true risks climate change poses; the role regulations and incentives are playing (and could play) in improving the built environment; the business case for sustainability (and if there is one); and the technology she's working on to help JLL navigate these challenges and more. "Let’s confront the reality of our era," she says, "sustainability isn’t just a question of ethics anymore; it’s transforming into a pivotal business necessity. Every day, building owners are juggling the escalating costs induced by climate risk, along with an array of growing transition risks. Whether it’s stricter policies and regulations, the shifting expectations of the market, or intensifying societal pressure, the challenges are numerous and continually evolving."
