We successfully completed the renovation and letting of an asset on Rue Scribe, in the heart of the Paris CBD, for one of our pan-European funds.   To comply with the Tertiary Decree 2030 objectives, the asset needed to reduce its energy consumption by 40%, which required implementing multiple sustainability initiatives simultaneously, such as installing a BMS, adding insulation in external walls, installing LED lighting and upgrading fan coils. In addition, other initiatives such as optimising water consumption and installing bicycle parking were undertaken. Having met these objectives, the asset’s stranding date has been extended beyond 2040 (according to the latest CRREM analysis)!    Now fully refurbished and let to high-quality tenants, we believe the asset is once again a perfect fit for our fund strategy and will contribute to Savills IM achieving our goal of being net zero by 2040 and becoming a restorative business by 2050.    #ESG #realestate #portfoliomanagement #sustainability #wellbeing #Paris    Bianca Boué-Smeltink, MRICS Khaled Nazim Guerroumi Laurent Vouin Patrick Griesbeck Norbert Stangelmayer

Last week our team in the Netherlands hosted our annual event where explored the latest trends shaping real estate investment environment globally. Key takeaways:   🔵 Despite ongoing uncertainty, there’s a growing sense of optimism. Quality assets with durable income streams are potentially showing early signs of recovery. 🔵 Ecological features and biodiversity are becoming essential. Not only do they enhance the long-term value of assets, but they also protect against future risks. 🔵 Technology is accelerating investment processes, streamlining decisions, and creating new efficiencies. 🔵 Urban growth continues, and with affordability challenges and sustainability goals in play, the Living sector presents attractive opportunities for investors. 🔵 As investors raise the bar on quality and tenants prioritise top-tier environments, real estate debt plays a crucial role in driving impactful change.   A special mention to our external speakers Jeroen Beimer, Arthur Umbgrove & Michiel Eijsbouts who all brought something a little different!    A huge thank you to everyone who attended, you all contributed to a fantastic day, we are already looking forward to next year! #RealEstate #Sustainability #Investment #LivingSector #RealEstateDebt Jan Willem Vis Andrew Allen Apwinder Foster Emily Hamilton Alex Jeffrey Patrick Au Yeung Cyrus Korat Kevin Aitchison, MBE Marcel Fleminks
