A sea-change is coming for commercial leasing. As the climate emergency gathers pace, the pressure is on for the property sector to get its house(s) in order. And for all the column inches on potential regulation or absent top-down policy, it is fast understanding that its contractual relationships, particularly its green leases, will be key to concreting environmental ambitions and ESG expectations into its real estate. To be properly impactful, the green lease must do many things. It must cater for existing legislation in many areas, while anticipating change. It must rethink bricks and mortar as a complex body, living its operations and breathing out clean air. In aligning the interests of landlords and tenants it must, arguably for the first time, challenge the fundamental notions of FRI leasing in a way that is both credible and commercially viable. This book explains the why and the how of green leasing in the commercial world. It offers drafting tips to help this nascent tool take root, and it makes a necessarily broad analysis of its legislative context. It considers how the development of solicitor's duties could demand more from the legal profession's understanding and advice. It was written to inspire and empower real estate lawyers and practitioners, as they support the efforts of future-looking commercial clients to rebuild the industry from the ground up.

If you are a building owner, developer, or property management professional who wants to go green but has limited capital, Green within Reach will show you what you can do-no matter how small your budget-to reduce costs, reduce waste, and efficiently use energy, water, and other available resources. Author Barry P. Weaver, a leading real estate professional and certified green-building expert, provides an easy-to-read manual that takes you step by step through all the areas of vital importance within and without your building environment. The book reveals how the use of sustainable and renewable products and practices can increase your cash flow, profitability, and asset value. It also explains how a whole-building approach will protect the health of your occupants as well as increase employee productivity. So go ahead-you can afford to decrease your building's carbon footprint. Green within Reach provides valuable information not only for builders, planners, and managers but also consumers and tenants. It offers a comprehensive guide to energy conservation, recycling, building maintenance, and apartment living that focuses on environmental concerns. The scope of the book is practical and its contents are easy to understand and access. Included in Weaver's book are knowledge self-assessments at the end of each section, and a glossary and references to dozens of Internet sites for further information on recycling, energy use, appliances, etc. Through Green within Reach Weaver explains step by step how much can be done to green an existing building by utilizing the resources at hand. Readers will learn how to positively affect the quality of a building environment both indoors and outdoors, and how energy can be saved through changes made in landscaping and through the proper choice of window and lighting fixtures, appliances, carpeting, and even cleaning products. Weaver provides ways to reduce costs for operation and maintenance, as well as reduce waste, pollution, and environmental degradation. He takes on the subjects of pest control, air quality, water efficiency, and the health of a building and its occupants. He also shows how a tenant green education program can be implemented-one that will act as an effective incentive for others to play a role in energy conservation measures.

For proven guidance and techniques for handling a commercial real estate deal, this practical guide will help you negotiate and close the deal. The authors cover each step of a real estate transaction in the order in which it generally arises, and offers pertinent advice, practice comments, and sample forms throughout. Because much of the real estate lawyer's practice revolves around transactional documents, the book's chapters emphasize the drafting, negotiation, and revision needed to get a deal closed. Written by a law professor and two real estate practitioners, this book offers a useful combination of text overview and practice pointers. It helps lawyers with less experience navigate through the maze of steps involved in a real estate transaction. At the same time, it serves as a valuable reference for more seasoned attorneys as well as those whose practice is concentrated in other areas of the law. Downloadable forms are available online.
