Despite Tight Economy

Jones Lang LaSalle - March, 2009

 

Survey by CoreNet Global and Jones Lang LaSalle shows that sustainability is increasingly critical in Asia Pacific, but sustainable space remains hard to find.

MACAU, March 26, 2009 — Corporate Real Estate (CRE) Executives in Asia Pacific are more willing than their global counterparts to continue investing in sustainability, according to Chris Wallbank, Asia Pacific Head of Energy and Sustainability Services at Jones Lang LaSalle. However, on a global basis, there is a decrease in the number of companies willing to pay more for green buildings today, as indicated by the results of the second global sustainability survey done jointly by Jones Lang LaSalle and CoreNet Global.
