To assess the financial impact of sustainability, Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) recently conducted a hypothetical case study to analyze and quantify the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) on property valuations.
The takeaway from the study is clear: Green building investment has a compounding effect on property value. A focus on ESG produced a range of impacts to revenue and expenses at the case study property, including a premium on rental rates, savings in operating expenses and a resulting lower capitalization rate. Those impacts, in aggregate, can have a compounding effect and result in a potentially significant value increase for real estate investors.
