SUSTAINABILITY Continued from page 23 PRESIDENTIAL POLICIES bon neutral by 2030. “There are very high objectives already in place,”Winstead said. However, many of the act’s initiatives were never funded, specifically those relating to retrofits and rehabilitations. By some accounts, the GSA’s portfolio needs more than $7 billion worth of renovation work, roughly half of that for updating historical buildings. Obama plans to make federal building retrofits a top priority, and many experts believe that means he will push for funding to speed up the projects in the pipeline. “There will be a lot of investment into public building renovations,”Winstead said. While capital allocations to agencies like the GSA are done through the appropriations process, President Obama can influence funding by making his priorities clear to Congress and cabinet members, explained Kenneth Fisher,a partner in WolfBlock’s Editorial Index The Ackman Ziff Real Estate Group 13 The American Institute of Architects 4 AmeriSphere Multifamily Finance 18 ASB Real Estate Investments 15 Bankers Mutual 17 Beacon Realty Capital Inc 13 Binswanger Mexico 20 Blue Capital Kaempfer L.P. 13 Boston Properties Inc. 13, 14 Brainlink International Inc. 4 Bureau of Labor Statistics 15, 24 CABI Developers L.L.C. 15 Capmark Finance Inc 13 Cassidy & Pinkard Colliers 12 CB Richard Ellis Inc 14, 20 CB Richard Ellis Investors 16 CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust 6 CBRE Capital Markets 13, 17 Census Bureau 24 Centerline Capital Group 13 Central Grocers Inc. 14 Colliers ABR Inc. 4 Colliers International 15 Colliers Meredith & Grew 13 Commercial Mortgage Securities Association 18 Commonwealth Ventures L.L.C. 14 The Community Preservation Corp. 13 Council on Ensuring Mortgage Liquidity 18 Cousins Properties Inc. 15 Crescent Resources L.L.C. 14 Trammell Crow Co 12, 16 Cushman & Wakefield Inc 11, 14 Cushman & Wakefield of Texas Inc 15 CWCapital 17 Deloitte L.L.C 25 Delta Associates 14 Deutsche Bank Commercial Real Estate 13 Developers Diversified Realty Corp. 25 Dominion Healthcare Financial Corp. 13 DTZ FHO Partners 14 Duke Realty Corp. 6 Eastdil Secured L.L.C. 14 Fannie Mae 6, 19 First American Realty Associates 13 FirstService Williams 7 Fontainebleau Resorts L.L.C 16 real estate and environmental and land-use practice group. OUTSIDE THE FEDERAL SPHERE But Obama’s plans extend beyond federal buildings, as well. He actually wants all new buildings to be carbon neutral by 2030. He plans to improve new-building efficiency by 50 percent over the next decade to meet that goal,additionally aiming for a 25 percent improvement in existing-building efficiency. Obama said he will expand existing federal grant programs to help states and localities build more efficient public buildings that adopt aggressive green building provisions like those provided by Green Globes and the U.S. Green Building Council. Moreover, he also plans to provide a federal match for those states that have public benefits funds that support energy-efficiency retrofits for existing buildings. Jason Hartke, director of advocacy and public policy for the U.S. Green Building Council, believes Obama’s economic stimulus package will include substantial funding MEXICO Continued from page 20 TIES THAT BIND The devaluation of the peso means that U.S. investors are looking for a 1.5 to 2 percent greater return on their investments, noted Savills executive managing director Borja Sierra. However, many retail names that are familiar to U.S. consumers continue to for green initiatives, particularly for school development and modernization. “Twelve agencies have passed administrative policies to ensure they’re building green, but President Obama will be more aggressive in establishing the government as a leader in green building and providing funding for green programs,” he predicted. As for the private sector, Obama has not outlined any specific incentives thus far.He supports a cap-andtrade system to reduce carbon emissions, which could reward or punish property owners depending on the level of greenhouse gases their buildings emit, although he has expand there. In the central city of San Luis Potosi, Office Depot,AutoZone and Starbucks opened new locations in 2008. Further opportunities for expansion are likely countrywide as developers respond to a new government incentive to build low-income housing, Perez said. —Reach senior editor Eugene Gilligan at eugene.gilligan@nielsen.com. offered no details on how the system might be implemented or would work. The Green Building Council has suggested that the new administration increase tax deductions for commercial buildings that are 50 percent more energy efficient than code requires.
