[New Episode Release] Fresh out of the studio, Alexander Bent, founder & managing partner of Undivided Ventures in Hong Kong explains why this is the time to invest globally in sustainability and the built environment. Alex dived deep into his investment thesis and offered his perspectives on how different technologies from AI to materials science will transform the #realestate industry globally. “We've got a 330 trillion dollar industry here, which arguably a lot of it, we talk about stranded assets, CRREM pathways to stranded assets, et cetera. I talked to a lot of funds. I've talked to a lot of developers. They're getting very worried about this. And it's not just about their existing portfolios. It's about how they are going to exit portfolios. Because many buyers now actually build in the cost of retrofitting a building to bring it up to sustainability when they're looking at acquiring an asset. So, that might bring the price down. So, for us, we look at everything you've just mentioned. We look at materials. We look at hardware. We look at software and anything that gets us to some of these impact targets we want to achieve in the built environment and also is something which is commercially viable and fixes some particular pain point within this ecosystem.” - Alexander Bent Enjoy the full interview and please re-share it if you like it: https://lnkd.in/gF3PDdTu

A team of MIT researchers — MCSC Impact Fellow Bram van der Kroft and Professors Juan Francisco Palacios, Roberto Rigobon, and Siqi Zheng — assess the impact of #sustainable shareholder engagement on commercial real estate firms' investments. In their new paper, the team uses unique microdata to track sustainable and conventional retrofit #investments in U.S. commercial real estate properties over the past two decades. Their #research finds that sustainable engagement does improve a firm’s sustainable investments through tangible and long-lasting sustainable #retrofits — when the timing aligns with the depreciation of physical assets and #reinvestment periods.
