In Canada, the intersection of commercial real estate and sustainability is no longer optional—it is imperative.
With increasing regulatory pressures, heightened investor scrutiny, and a growing tenant demand for sustainable spaces, businesses are seizing the opportunity to integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into their real estate strategies to stay ahead of the curve.
This shift transcends compliance; it’s about future-proofing assets, boosting valuations, mitigating risks, and aligning with a more sustainable economy.
ENCOR’s real estate consulting services empower clients to navigate this landscape effectively, ensuring they capitalize on emerging opportunities while addressing potential challenges. As trusted advisors to our clients, we are firmly committed to due diligence in this critical space.
We deliver in-depth analyses to uncover how ESG factors impact property valuations. As market standards evolve, buildings with robust ESG credentials (e.g., LEED certifications, energy efficiency ratings) increasingly command premium valuations, while those lacking may face depreciation or obsolescence.
Our clients gain clarity in their market positioning with actionable recommendations to enhance value through strategic sustainability improvements.
Stranded assets—properties losing value due to regulatory shifts, technological advancements, or changing market expectations—pose significant challenges. We conduct thorough assessments to identify potential risks like poor energy performance or non-compliance with emerging carbon-reduction regulations.
By proactively identifying and addressing these risks early, we help clients minimize financial exposure and develop strategies to upgrade, repurpose, or divest these properties effectively.
Lease negotiations now extend beyond financial terms to include critical clauses on energy performance, energy performance, emissions reporting, and operational sustainability. We provide comprehensive ESG due diligence to equip our clients for negotiate lease terms that reflect their long-term sustainability goals.
This service ensures that lease agreements align with ESG priorities, mitigating risks related to compliance, operational inefficiencies, and tenant retention challenges.
ENCOR’s ESG consulting services leverage a holistic framework that combines technical expertise, industry insights, and actionable strategies. Our approach includes:
Ensuring full compliance with federal, provincial, and municipal sustainability regulations, including Canada’s Net Zero goals.
Evaluating emerging trends such as tenant demand for green leases and investor focus on ESG metrics to position our clients competitively.
Facilitating alignment between landlords, tenants, and investors to achieve shared ESG objectives.
Assisting clients in integrating ESG metrics into reporting frameworks for transparency and alignment with global standards such as GRESB and TCFD.
Sustainability and ESG are reshaping the commercial real estate landscape in Canada. At ENCOR, we are committed to helping our clients navigate this transformation, ensuring their real estate portfolios are not just compliant but optimized for future success.
By focusing on asset valuation, stranded assets, and ESG-driven lease negotiations, we provide a clear pathway for clients to unlock value, mitigate risk, and lead in a rapidly evolving market.
