"Green Development is good for business. Tenants, owners, purchasers,
and brokers are all becoming more sophisticated and are realizing the financial
and social benefits of green product." --Gerald Hines, Chairman of Hines.
Environmentally responsible real estate development makes dollars and sense.
Green Development describes an exciting new field in which environmental
considerations are viewed as opportunities to create fundamentally better
buildings and communities--more comfortable, more efficient, more appealing, and
ultimately more profitable.
If you're a developer, architect, planner, contractor, lender, or city official,
this book speaks your language. Every stage of the development process is
examined in detail: market research, site planning, design, approvals,
financing, construction, marketing, and occupancy. Also included are lists of
project statistics and contacts, books and other information sources, and
development strategies.
Based on 80 case studies drawn from Rocky Mountain Institute's extensive
worldwide research and consulting work, Green Development distills proven
procedures and practical lessons that work in the real world. 552 pp.
