MIT World Real Estate Forum connects people and critical issues
Kicking off MIT Center for Real Estate’s 40th Anniversary, the 2024 MIT World Real Estate Forum (June 17+18) brought together 300 industry leaders, policymakers, researchers, and academics to explore the future of real estate — offering inspiration and practical strategies for navigating an uncertain future.
Watch Sunita Mahant, Managing Director of Sustainable Investments at CDPQ, in the panel, “Value Creation for Sustainable Real Estate,”. The discussion focuses on the economic advantages of building in sustainable practices as everyday operations.
Inaction Leads to Long Term Value Loss
In the panel, Sunita highlights the risks of inaction: “What’s the cost of doing nothing? Well, you will be left behind, your assets will be left behind, and your value will decrease.” She stresses the importance of integrating sustainable building practices into all aspects of real estate investment, not just as a moral imperative but as a sound business strategy that offers long-term value creation. “ESG is good for the bottom-line, period”, echoes Anna Malhari, COO of Veris Residential, reinforcing that sustainable investments lead to financial gains alongside social and environmental benefits.
