Landmark Study

DO GREEN BUILDINGS
MAKE DOLLARS & SENSE?

In conjunction with the Burnham-Moores Center
for Real Estate at the University of San Diego,
CB Richard Ellis has released the largest study
of its kind on the benefits of green office space
for occupants located in a significant portfolio of
CBRE managed office buildings. The study found
occupants reported increased productivity and
fewer sick days, and that green buildings have
both lower vacancy and higher rental rates.

"A University of San Diego and CB Richard Ellis study found that green buildings have 3.5% lower vacancy rates and 13% higher rental rates than other buildings. Green building tenants responding for the study also reported 2.88 fewer sick days per year compared to previous non-green offices. The report was a yearlong research effort and the largest of its kind, surveying 154 buildings under CBRE management, totaling 51.6 million square feet and 3,000 tenants in 10 U.S. markets."
