CBRE: Sustainable Buildings Generate Stronger Investment Returns

www.newyorkrealestate.citybizlist.com -- Sustainable buildings generate stronger investment returns than traditional managed properties, according to an ongoing study of a national office portfolio managed by CBRE Group, Inc. (CBRE).
