Whether the Green Office Premium will continue may depend on rating concentration by location and building value.

The focus on Green Rating Certifications by office real estate investors has driven the EU building stock to new levels of efficiency. Which in turn has shown a quantifiable premium for rent and asset valuations.

Careful market selection beats demographic headwinds

US commercial real estate (CRE) investors are well-versed in the importance of economic growth to property investment performance. Focus on the Covid-19 recession, policies to truncate it, and the path of recovery have dominated the attention of analysts for more than two years. Macroeconomic factors continue to dominate attention now, well into 2022, as inflation in the Covid-recession’s aftermath complicated by Russia’s invasion into Ukraine have taken the spotlight.
