Property Management

The management of commercial real estate plays a critical role in delivering on owner and occupier sustainability aspirations.

Translating the rhetoric of corporate commitments into action on commercial real estate portfolios, funds and individual buildings will require considerable upskilling to embed sustainability into the responsibilities of asset, property and facilities managers. To help move our members and the industry forward on best practice in this area, we have our Property Management workstream, which incorporates our Managing Agents Partnership and associated projects.
