The topic of sustainability has become increasingly well-known and important in recent years, as can be seen from the various “Sustainability Reports” published by real estate investors. Sustainable construction is also in vogue in the UK. With the BREEAM system (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method), the world’s first certification system for building sustainability was invented here in 1990. The British real estate investor Great Portland Estates plc is also geared towards sustainability. This article is based on the unique Top 150 Property Investors UK – List of residential, commercial and hotel property buyers..
