RICS Americas is participating in the Green Building Finance & Investment Forum

Green Building Finance & Investment Forum
March 2-4, 2009
Hyatt Regency, San Francisco
Exclusive: RICS Members Save 10%

On the heels of two previous sold-out events, Infocast's Green Building Finance & Investment Forum again convenes the most proactive investors and practitioners--those who have been anticipating the forces of change in the real estate market, designing cohesive strategies, and leveraging those forces for proven profit.

The real estate market faces a transformational juncture where "crisis equals opportunity." The credit debacle, technology changes, spiraling energy costs, and a tidal wave of "green" laws and policy trends may throw the unprepared off-balance, but lift the well-prepared to new heights. Case in point: The US Green Building Council is clocking new requests for LEED certification at $464 million dollars in total project value, every single business day. In this time of change, what once seemed fringe is now front and center. Investors, developers, portfolio and building owners and managers can no longer afford to sit on the sidelines. Tomorrow's profits will be in the green building sector.
