Digital Infrastructure continues to be an extremely attractive area for investment, so no surprise to see Greystar expanding into the sector and looking at ways to bring forward projects. Much easier said than done to get going quickly, but fascinated to see how Greystar progress as they do have a fantastic track record of delivering assets across other real estate sectors, particularly residential development. Interesting time for the European market in H2 as I think we will continue to see an increase in investment, but the struggle for power remains the greatest barrier to progress. #datacentres #digitalinfrastructure #investment

Creative Financing: Crafting Wealth in Property Management In property management, unassuming strategies can yield the richest rewards. Consider the potential of underutilized spaces. A seldom-used room can transform into a co-working hub or a pop-up retail space, turning idle corners into income. Green energy is another arena ripe for exploration. Solar panels and energy-efficient systems do more than cut costs; they become revenue-generators, feeding surplus power back to the grid. It's a straightforward investment with long-term payoffs. Tenant partnerships offer yet another avenue. By sharing the costs and benefits of certain property upgrades, you cultivate a sense of shared investment and community. The result? Enhanced property value and stronger tenant relations. Creative financing isn’t just about the numbers; it's about seeing beyond the obvious to unearth the extraordinary. #PropertyManagement #CreativeFinancing #RealEstateInnovation #HudsonPrimePropertyManagement

We hear from so many owners that they’re blocked from making investments in their buildings. Don't miss this post about the creative financing mechanisms available today in California that can pave the way for no-capex efficiency upgrades that make sense for both your bottom-line AND your tenants. https://hubs.la/Q02nsz0_0 #energyefficiency #decarbonization #retrofits

While renewable energy plays a key role in the future of our energy landscape, true success will be defined by how we deliver its power to our communities – a core focus of our work on the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal component of Empire Wind 1 in Brooklyn, NY.   The New York City Economic Development Corporation’s Harbor of the Future plan, recently discussed by CEO Andrew Kimball in City & State, highlights a major shift: renewable energy projects are surging, and the need for seamless, reliable interconnections is crucial.   It’s not just about building substations or running cables. It’s about doing so in a way that complements the communities we serve. This is something we deeply consider when approaching any project at BOND Civil & Utility Construction, and by collaborating with project partners, communities, and stakeholders, we can better understand how to approach a project to maximize impact while minimizing disruption to residents.   More insights from the full interview on the EDC’s Harbor of the Future plan here:

So impressed with Greystar taking the next step to invest in infrastructure. Smart to add value to their own investments, as well as to build out around them for everyone's benefit. #sustainability #investment #infrastructure https://lnkd.in/em7jxWis

"Decarbonization requires considerable planning, with available funding playing a key role in determining the feasibility and prioritization of investments. While there’s no one size fits all approach, businesses and property owners will likely leverage a combination of upfront incentives, financing, and tax credits to achieve their decarbonization goals." - NYSERDA #construction #greenbuilding #funding https://lnkd.in/gkEbn3Ty

"For building owners, investing in a future-ready capital planning approach that aligns with long-term energy and emissions performance goals not only ensures compliance with Building Performance Standards (BPS) but also presents an opportunity to enhance asset value and mitigate risks." https://lnkd.in/etcY_ZyU

With global temperatures rising, and more national, state, and local governments requiring property owners to meet energy efficiency standards, developers are increasingly turning to green financing strategies. These tools—which include green bonds, green construction loans, Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) financing, and state-sponsored programs to promote energy efficiency—help developers broaden the range of equity and debt sources to tap into while making it easier to cut carbon emissions and energy costs.

I enjoyed being at the Building Energy Exchange this morning to learn more about the new online Retrofit Playbook for Large Buildings launched by  NYSERDA, Urban Land Institute, RMI, and the BE-EX. It was equally great to hear about the groundwork being completed by the latest Empire Building Challenge winners, often at smaller, 100% affordable MFR and senior housing assets. The business case at these assets can be hampered by the fact that certain value add outcomes, like increasing rents, is not a core business plan play. Further, it was clear that funding is an issue outside of Federal and State incentives. It would be great to know how (if) private finance is supporting decarbonization in this important segment of the market. Clearly there are some great environmental and social wins for those willing to incentive action. https://lnkd.in/ebCnCbHd
