Green Leases.
Green leases keep gaining in significance. Investors and tenants with accountability vis-à-vis their stakeholders have become increasingly aware of their advantages.
The purpose of a green lease is unambiguous: While landlords strive to make the management of their real estate as sustainable as possible, their tenants put the emphasis on sustainable occupancy.
Both sides tend to agree on the shared goal of making the building operation as energy-efficient as possible. That said, the concrete, practical implementation of green leases by structuring them for maximum sustainability depends on the asset class and tenancy situation at hand.

Win-Win Situation for Owners and Occupiers
Green leases offer not just the obvious environmental benefits of reducing waste and emissions, saving water and energy or using environmentally harmless building materials. They also bring social sustainability aspects into play, such as an enhanced work environment and increased productivity, which are advantageous for both sides. Not least, such a property will gain in appeal while cost savings through lower consumption rates entail added economic benefits.
Bespoke rather than Off-the-Shelf
We offer you comprehensive hands-on experience in the integration of all aspects that can be part of a green lease – be they sustainability targets, pathways to green certification, agreements on the use of renewable energies, specifications for the tenant fit-out or rules of conduct. Here, we are guided by the recommendations of the German Property Federation (ZIA).
“A proactive approach to the implementation of green leases is crucial for our efforts to promote environmental sustainability and to achieve economic benefits for owners and tenants through energy efficiency and lower operating costs at the same time.”
