People increasingly want to live, work and shop in places that are also convincingly sustainable. Buildings are a crucial part of such aspirations: Flexible and innovative approaches as well as conversion concepts are needed to create sustainable value and a positive contribution to society beyond financial profit.

Green projects are increasingly setting the agenda for the real estate industry and energy-efficient buildings are a profitable piece of the puzzle. One of the most important considerations for any investor today is meeting net-zero targets. Smart investing means creative, crisis-proof investments - for higher and consistent returns in combination with reduced risk.

"Almost all prospective clients are thinking about so-called new forms of work. Companies that commission us with contract renewals are also very focused on optimising their office space. They have noticed that if the workplace has a certain appeal, it is easier to bring employees back. Sustainability criteria have also gained noticeably in importance. For most companies, certifications are not only desirable, but in some cases even necessary. Internationally recognised sustainability labels are clearly preferred over national ones."
