I very much enjoyed this session, I’ll do a set of takeaways from the talk I gave preceding our conversation next week. Meanwhile, Rune and team summarise critical highlights beautifully: ➕Resilient companies that are setting themselves up to embrace transition understand that i) corporate goals & planning matter (asset and portfolio level isn’t enough), ii) collaboration is key, iii) innovation is a non-negotiable.

🌍💼 Attention Real Estate Investors! Are you capitalizing on the "Green Premium"? 🌿💰 Recent studies, including those by UBS, have highlighted a revealing trend: properties with sustainability credentials like LEED or BREEAM are not just good for the planet—they're also good for your wallet! In bustling hubs like New York and London, certified green buildings command price premiums up to 28% more per square foot compared to non-certified properties. Why the surge? ✅ Higher tenant demand and stringent regulatory requirements are fueling this shift. As the world moves towards net-zero targets, green buildings are no longer the future—they're the present! Efficient properties aren't just avoiding discounts; they're seeing remarkable increases in rental yields and sale prices. But the market doesn't just reward the green; it demands it. With the increasing risks of stranded assets and regulatory crackdowns on carbon emissions, investing in sustainable real estate is moving from a niche advantage to a critical necessity. Investors, are you ready to align your portfolio with the leading edge of profitability and sustainability? 🌟 PHOCIS Capital™ is here to guide you through this shifting terrain, offering tailored solutions that blend financial success with environmental responsibility. 👉 Like, comment, and share if you're ready to invest in the future with us!🚀 Join the conversation and share your insights or questions about sustainable investments. 📲 #RegisterNow to be part of this lucrative movement toward #FinancialEmpowerment and #SustainableDevelopment with PHOCIS Capital™. #HousingForAll #PrivateMoney #HardMoneyInvestor #GreenPremium #RealEstateInvesting #PHOCISCapital Let's build a sustainable, profitable future together! 🌐💡💼
