“Everybody ultimately needs a credible transition plan.” Chris Pyke dives into why every building, regardless of its current carbon performance, requires a plan for decarbonization. The urgency depends on where each asset stands: • High carbon intensity buildings need immediate, high-quality plans. • High-performing, efficient assets need longer-term strategies to maintain their lead. The key is engaging across the entire carbon intensity spectrum, transforming portfolios one step at a time. 💡 Why it matters: Holistic, phased transition plans create value while addressing environmental impacts.

Sustainability in real estate is evolving, and Chris Pyke highlights a key trend shaping the future: the “brown-to-green” strategy. Instead of focusing solely on acquiring green buildings, investors are embracing a new approach—buying underperforming assets, implementing decarbonization plans, and transforming them into high-value properties. This “buy low, sell high” strategy is gaining traction, as highlighted in a recent Bloomberg article. 💡 Why it matters: 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘵 𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵, 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘨𝘰𝘢𝘭𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘴.
