As New York’s vaccine rollout continues, companies are on the hunt for new spaces to call home. But these companies’ priorities have changed since the last time they searched for office space.

Sustainability and environmental ethics are topping the checklists for businesses returning to the office. After a year in which companies have been scrutinized for their ethics, businesses need to offer more than high-quality amenities to retain employees and impress customers.

At Bisnow’s Urban Rebound: Sustainability’s Role In Reopening Safely event on April 22, CRE and green building leaders will convene to discuss how building owners can create greener, sustainable spaces to attract environmentally conscious tenants, meet sustainability benchmarks and cut back on costs.

Speakers will include CEOs of major CRE companies, members of the Green Building Council and sustainability experts from the NYC Mayor’s office. You’ll hear from:

• Douglas Durst, chairman of The Durst Organization

• Craig Deitelzweig, president and CEO of Marx Realty

• Melissa Baker, senior vice president of the U.S. Green Building Council

• Samuel Man, policy adviser in the NYC Mayor's Office of Sustainability

• Raphael Rosen, CEO and co-founder of Carbon Lighthouse

• And more!

The coronavirus pandemic has only increased office tenants’ desire for sustainable office space, and new laws, like Local Law 97, which calls for a reduction of building-based emissions by 40% by 2030, are further compelling NYC building owners to make significant changes.

At this Bisnow event, attendees will learn how to finance and implement the upgrades and retrofits needed to create greener office space, while getting a unique opportunity to network virtually with other industry professionals.

Panel topics include the best strategies for getting ahead of the Climate Mobilization Benchmarks, updates on the latest technologies to help facilitate a safe return to the office, the leading options for financing energy-efficiency upgrades and more.
