Cetana Developments Inc. has formed a real estate investment trust focused on developing climate-friendly rental housing across Canada which prioritizes both affordability and speed of construction. Andrew Bowerbank, CEO and managing partner of Cetana REIT told Sustainable Biz Canada the REIT has prioritized building design and construction over financing thus far. It is also focused on two issues he calls crises. “Our goal right now is to build purpose-built rental buildings, multi-use buildings across Canada, really, to respond to the housing crisis," he explained. That is intertwined with affordability and economic concerns, "but we also hit the climate crisis as well. It’s a very unique business model, but I think it can have a lot of traction in the coming years.” #greenbuildings #sustainability #climate #masstimber #LEED https://lnkd.in/g2qAk7zy
