Sustainable real estate is transforming the property market. Green buildings now command 7-10% premium rents, achieve 20% higher occupancy rates, and deliver 30% lower operating costs. With global green building investment exceeding $300 billion annually, sustainable properties are no longer a niche—they're the new standard for forward-thinking investors.
