Catch our cofounder Declan Rankin Jardin on JLL's Trends & Insights podcast!
Buildings are more than just steel and concrete - they can be living, breathing ecosystems that connect us to nature and a greater purpose. We recently traveled to Montreal to find out how Declan Rankin Jardin, Co-founder of Alvéole, has transformed commercial real estate through urban beekeeping and expanded to 2,500 buildings across North America and Europe. Alvéole's innovative approach goes beyond simply installing beehives. They're creating a new paradigm for tenant engagement and environmental stewardship in urban spaces. As Declan says: "Buildings themselves have to start becoming more mixed use. And I think what we're doing is really just showing that a building can be more than just an office space, more than just the retail space. We're connecting, through our bees, to kind of a bigger purpose around the space." Discover how urban beekeeping, rooftop gardens, and even a pioneering "nature risk score" are reshaping the commercial real estate landscape in our latest Trends & Insights podcast episode.

Great insights from all participants in Alex Mclean and Dan Winters' roundtable at Information Management Network (IMN)’s #ESG & Decarbonizing Real Estate Forum. How is your organization approaching nature-related risk? #CRE #ESG #Biodiversity #IMNEvents #IMNESG
What’s the cost of inaction on biodiversity in commercial real estate? That was the question at the heart of our roundtable at Information Management Network (IMN)’s #ESG & Decarbonizing Real Estate Forum, where nearly 50 leaders from major #CRE companies joined the discussion on biodiversity as a financial and regulatory risk. The key takeaway? Investors are paying attention. Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) is gaining traction, GRESB is incorporating biodiversity into its assessments, and frameworks like #CSRD are raising the bar for disclosure. Nature risk is becoming a cost of capital question. The data to measure it – through eDNA, biomonitoring, and geospatial tech – is already here. And Alvéole is ready to help. A huge thank you to everyone who participated in the roundtable and to Dan Winters for co-facilitating. Let’s keep this discussion going. How is your organization approaching biodiversity risk? #IMNEvents #IMNESG
