Interesting discussion hosted by the NLA this morning about the future of tall buildings. The panel of Tuba Ozbay, Tom Nancollas and Michael Ritchie, highlighted the need for greater intersection between design and sustainability requirements - challenging the balance between achieving low embodied carbon (under current assessment protocols) and developing longer building lifespans.

Have you noticed the rise of green buildings in American business properties? The U.S. is seeing a big move towards building in a way that's good for the environment, all because people want eco-friendly properties that use less energy. These green efforts are changing how we invest in real estate, helping the planet, and making more money. Ready to explore the future of sustainable real estate?

Turning 'brown' buildings 'green' is essential for decarbonising the world's building stock and is something PATRIZIA is firmly committed to, as PATRIZIA Head of Real Estate Development UK & Ireland, Daniel Williams, highlights below. For a deep dive into the topic, explaining the rationale for adopting 'brown to green' while also providing analysis of the challenges which come with implementing such an approach, read our Real Insights article: https://lnkd.in/ewW7CUw5 #PATRIZIA #Decarbonisation #RealEstate #RealInsights

Following the adoption of Greater Manchester's Places for Everyone spatial strategy earlier this year, Shoosmiths brought together real estate experts for a roundtable discussion on the plan and approaches to new development, redevelopment, renewable energy provision, and decarbonisation. While the focus is on unlocking new regeneration and development opportunities, the plan also emphasises the ‘aim to maximise its economic, social, and environmental benefits simultaneously, minimise adverse impacts, utilise sustainable construction techniques, and actively seek opportunities to secure net gains across all objectives.’ This presents a challenge for developers, building owners, occupiers, and investors that are already navigating evolving legislation and broader environmental risks. Therefore, a balance must be struck between maintaining project viability and futureproofing Greater Manchester’s building stock – both new and existing developments. Here are some key snippets from the discussion delving into this further 👇 The full discussion can also be watched: https://lnkd.in/eCTej3dE Taking part: Alan Hall (Genr8 Developments), Caroline Wright (Trafford Council), Chris Hosty (CERT Property), Derek Griffin (Whitbread), Helen Gribbon (Renaissance), Kate McClean (Tetra Tech), Neil Pickup (Ask Real Estate), Warren Taylor (Cityheart), alongside Shoosmiths’ Lisa Tye, Richard Symonds, Ian Hardman and Patrick Duffy.

The retrofit of heritage and historic buildings involves preserving history and embracing sustainability. A large number of buildings in the UK are heritage structures and are often less energy-efficient due to their older construction. The goal is to maintain these buildings' cultural identity and transition them to be more sustainable and energy-efficient. Have you come across any heritage buildings that have undergone successful retrofits? We'd like to hear examples that effectively balance historic preservation with modern energy efficiency. #VORGroup #HeritageRetrofit #HistoricRetrofit #SustainableBuildings https://lnkd.in/epg38kC6 #VORGroup #HeritageRetrofit #HistoricRetrofit #SustainableBuildings 

In a world where we have surpassed the tipping point of global human-made mass exceeding all living biomass, we must think twice about new construction. The real estate industry is now the single most significant contributor to climate change after the oil and gas sector, responsible for about 40% of all greenhouse gas emissions. I strongly support the brown-to-green approach advocated here by Daniel Williams. #Thelouise developed by PATRIZIA SE is undoubtedly a prime example in #Brussels, and aCMG srl is privileged to be involved in this vision from day one. #realestate #browntogreen #b2g #Thelouise #sustainabledevelopment #environment

It has been INCREDIBLY INSPIRING to see the advancements in sustainable construction and living we have made in the industry over recent years, particularly in Seattle. Developers are not just looking for ways to build green, they are also focused on marrying that effort with innovation, style, and increased comfort and convenience—proving that there is no reason why we shouldn’t all be prioritizing going green! I can't think of a more inspiring property to showcase than the 2023 Built Green Hammer Awards Project of the Year: Lakehouse 2.0 from Dwell Development.
