EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to focus attention on important trends that are occurring and will continue to influence:

• Increasing real estate development and investment in green, and
• Growing market demand and value of sustainable projects.

The points highlighted in this paper are culled from presentations and discussions with industry leaders in real estate, finance, architecture and construction, at the 2008 Urban Land Institute (ULI) conference on sustainability.

“Green” topics are currently a focus of almost every industry and the media. At the same time, it is hoped that the trends presented in this paper will provide a unique perspective of further value, development and investment in sustainable and green projects, over the next 10 to 20 years.
