Elements of Green Leases Webinar

(featuring Mychele Lord & Sean C. Ivery in collaboration with BOMA)

The term green lease is often spoken in conversations regarding office buildings, yet it's a term without a real definition. Some believe you can "green" a lease by adding language to stipulate product requirements and construction practices. While that may give a lease a green touch, it's not enough to make a green lease. To truly create a green lease, we must rethink the basic systems and components of today's office lease and prepare to address the leasing demand of sustainable buildings penetrating the commercial real estate industry. 

Date: Wednesday, October 1, 2008, 2:00 - 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time.  Webinar will be available for purchase online anytime after live event.
