After 6 years of working closely with Grosvenor, we have started on-site and are making good progress. This complex project aims to knit together what was once a forgotten part of Mayfair into a new and active neighbourhood. Retaining existing listed buildings, and embracing circular economy principles have all contributed to driving down embodied carbon. The link below explores some of the challenges. https://lnkd.in/eWpKSbK9

Arboretum, the largest wood office campus in Europe, is a ground-breaking project that showcases the potential of timber buildings to lower building sector emissions while storing carbon for many decades. Today, Arboretum is the location where we, together with our partners, are hosting the international community as part of the Buildings and Climate Global Forum that is jointly organized by France and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP). Lars Völkel, EVP Wood Products Division, met with Guillaume Poitrinal, Co-founder and President of WO2 to discuss the opportunities of wood in the decarbonisation of the construction sector. Some outstanding facts about Arboretum: ✔️ Stora Enso delivered 20 500 m³ of flat-packed wood. That is enough to fill eight Olympic-sized swimming pools! ✔️ 15 500 tonnes of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere by the wood provided by Stora Enso. We very much look forward to the discussions on 7-8 March on how to enable a policy framework across the globe to build more buildings like this! 🌿🌍 #BuildForClimate #sustainableconstruction 📷Rendering: WO2/Ni.Acki WO2, Ivanhoé Cambridge, ICAMAP, Nicolas Laisné Architectes, LECLERCQ ASSOCIES, DIMITRI ROUSSEL ENTREPRISE ARCHITECTURE METROPOLE, Terrell Group, Saguez & Partners, GCC CONSTRUCTION / ENERGIE / IMMOBILIER, MATHIS CONSTRUCTION BOIS BNP Paribas Real Estate

Building a sustainable future with Cabrico clay bricks at Devonbosch. As part of our unwavering commitment to sustainability and innovation, we are proud to announce our collaboration with Cabrico, utilising their top-tier clay bricks in our development projects. Why clay bricks, you might ask? The answer is deeply rooted in our pledge to reduce carbon footprints and enhance the eco-friendliness of our community. Cabrico's clay bricks are at the forefront of sustainable building materials, offering exceptional durability, protection against major weather conditions, and a low maintenance profile which aligns perfectly with our environmental ethos. Cabrico's bricks are not only made from natural raw materials, but they are also energy-efficient, boasting a low carbon footprint. This makes them an ideal choice for Devonbosch as we strive to meet rigorous sustainability benchmarks and support the dynamic innovation goals set by the South African National Energy Development Initiative (SANEDI). By choosing Cabrico's clay bricks, Devonbosch reinforces its vision of a future-focused community, where quality building materials and green practices go hand-in-hand to create spaces that are both beautiful and beneficial for the planet. Stay tuned as we lay the foundation for a greener tomorrow, one brick at a time. #SustainableDevelopment #EcoFriendlyBuilding #DevonboschLiving #GreenInnovation

Embrace the carbon benefits of sustainable construction and watch your community thrive. 🌲 Say goodbye to heavy traffic and noisy construction sites, and hello to a happier, quieter neighborhood. 🏗️ With smaller crews and faster construction, we're not just building structures, we're creating a better way of life. ✨ #MassTimber #Sustainability #BinkleyConstruction

Addressing the challenges connected to the modern construction industry is a question that takes more than a dialogue between the authorities and the industry. It is a societal activity of great importance impacting the whole of society. Hence, it is needed to say, that if we want to change something and form a path for the construction industry to become more regenerative and make a promotion and development of a practice that respects planetary boundaries and contribute positively to a better tomorrow, then we need to do something different. We need to change our mindset and our culture. This involves a fundamental and integrated transformation of structures, processes, and practices and must be considered and reflected in holistic policies, regulation and frameworks that reflect real life experience from the users and form a new path for place-based regenerative development and clear the path towards long-term positive impacts on both human well-being and the health of the biosphere. What is needed is a systemic political vision and roadmap towards a construction sector that navigates and combines the recommendations you will find in Future-Proofing Nordic Construction - Policy Paths for Building within the Safe Operating Space: https://lnkd.in/dSVxV3fh Want to know more: Join us at the symposium December 4th: https://lnkd.in/dfzKBxW2 It has been a great pleasure for me to participate in this project and not least to carry on the thoughts of SUSTAINORDIC in which I have been engaged for many years - and hope for a continuation of the project! The dialogue has been hosted and facilitated at several events in all the Nordic countries, and I have loved to moderating an engaging a lot of people at formal meetings, at the Nordic democracy festivals, at the UIA World Congress of Archite­cture, At The Arctic Circle Assembly, in digital events, at the New European Bauhaus festival, COP26 in Glasgow, and COP27 in Sharm-El-Sheik.

Thanks to Dorte Bo Bojesen, Pernille Martiny Modvig, Angelica Åkerman, Mads Randbøll Wolff, Helle Redder Momsen, Anders Vestergaard Jensen and Coco Krusbæk, all the partners in Nordic Sustainable Construction and the transformation panel for a great collaboration.

Last week during Bisnow's Northeast Industrial & Logistics event Paul Dunlevy and I received an incredible tour of the 400,000 sq. ft., 3-story Red Hook Logistics Center built by RXR (great catching up with Ivan Kondili) and LBA Realty, alongside Hunter Roberts Construction Group and Michael Squilla, LEED AP BD+C. One fascinating detail—because of the site's proximity to the water, they had to use CMU on one wall as cranes weren’t feasible, highlighting the creativity of developers transforming previously undevelopable, contaminated land. It was great hearing Albert Fitch from The STRO Companies discuss the increasing competitiveness of environmentally challenged sites in NJ. Always a pleasure catching up with Charlie Stocks to hear about W. P. Carey Inc.'s industrial redevelopment projects nationwide. Key Takeaways - Best-in-class industrial assets are defined by their flexibility—whether it’s the ability to divide the property, increase electrical capacity, or incorporate automation, adaptability is key. - There’s a significant opportunity for industrial developers to not only solve environmental issues on contaminated sites but also contribute positively to municipalities in the process. - Overall sentiment is optimistic with strong investment and development opportunities ahead in the industrial sector. With the limited availability of developable industrial land in the NYC region, now is the ideal time to invest in prime, irreplaceable locations. As demand for environmentally challenged sites grows, the increasing competition points to significant shifts in future investment and development opportunities.
