Come to the Green Building Finance & Investment Forum

 

I’m spreading the word about the Green Building Finance & Investment Forum, 20-22 February here in San Francisco. Its tailored especially for green real estate investors, developers and their capital sources. (Full disclosure:My firm, Galley Eco Capital, is a leading conference sponsor.) Registrations are coming in at a pretty good pace and we are expecting a great crowd.

There’s a great lineup of Industry Pacesetters — that’s Green Journey talk for the early adopters within institutional real estate — those who are already committed to building and operating green real estate. They’ll be talking about how they’re making good returns by building and retrofitting green.

I’ll be teaching a class, moderating a panel on triple bottom line investing as well as on another panel talking away about, guess what — green finance. There will be a diverse group on that panel, covering emerging topics such as renewable energy finance, green real estate securitization as well as the role of incentives in underwriting green deals.

Participants will also get to hear from well known social investors who are active in investment real estate. They’ll get a dialogue going with the real estate crowd about why we see so little action from socially responsible investors in investment real estate — and what we can all do to change that.

Last but not least, topics like risk management, legal and valuation issues will be talked about as well.

Hopefully this forum will extend and deepen the network of committed green investors and developers, with more capital to follow.
