Real estate isn't just about today's returns—it's about future transactions. Sustainability is now a key driver of asset value, buyer demand, and exit strategy. What's changing? ?? Buyers prioritize energy-efficient, compliant properties over those requiring costly retrofits. ??Exit cap rates are emerging as a tool to justify long-term sustainability investments. ??Firms aligning early with regulations and incentives are gaining a market edge.

Properties that don't align with evolving buyer expectations face higher costs, lower valuations, and financing challenges.
