*In the press* *Read all about it* *Insight* 🗞 📰 📣 👀 🌟 #READ AREA's very own James Barrack and Matthew Neal were featured in Property Week discussing #ESG and why operators hold the key to all elements of ESG in operational real estate. The AREA team are well placed to comment on this topic, currently running operator selection processes for some of the most high-profile asset managers in the UK. Chosen operators are expected to be able to make a positive difference, not just to the financial performance, but to resident experience, the impact that the building will have on the environment and the responsible governance of data and compliance. AREA's forensic approach to the process sets up assets (and their operators) to perform across all of these aspects, providing asset managers with genuine competitive advantage.

 GRESB is an annual sustainability assessment for real estate brands, providing benchmarks for companies to compare and improve their ESG performance. The evaluation recognizes achievements that drive substantial, enduring transformations within real estate and establishes brands as industry leaders for their excellent implementations. In the GRESB 2023 assessment, we received a 4-star rating in recognition of our efforts. As one of the few companies to participate in the assessment within five years of launching its first asset, getting such a high rating encourages us to further strive for excellence. To help you understand GRESB better, we’ve collated a short guide. #MaxEstates #MaxEstatesLimited #MaxTowers #MaxHouse #MaxSquare #Estate128 #residential #commercial #realestate #commercialworkspaces #DelhiNCRRealEstate #DelhiNCRproperty #GRESB #GRESBrating #sustainability
