While environmentally responsible development and management are imperative for retail real estate professionals, practical experience has shown that, rather than increasing costs, investments in better design, technology and materials, as well as the adaptation of smarter operating practices, can pay off substantially. A panel of the world’s foremost practitioners will share with you the alchemy (actually, the sound business practices) of turning “green” into gold. PANELISTS: Rowena M.
