Green Lending
REPORT: GREEN LENDING PROGRAMS OFFER FINANCIAL INCENTIVES FOR ENERGY-EFFICIENT DEVELOPMENTS
Climate change concerns are driving important real estate lending industry changes. Major “green" lending programs help to offset the costs of such sustainable and energy-efficient improvements.
While the impact of agency green-lending programs is expected be positive in both environmental and financial terms, of particular interest to lenders are the financial benefits which include:
- Reduction in building operating costs (resulting in higher Net Operating Income or “NOI”)
- Increase in building valuation and sale price
- Reduced maintenance time and costs
- Management of the risk inherent in variable utility costs
- Ability to charge rental rate premiums and improve tenant retention
