Protecting Asset Value in the Face of Growing Resilience and Sustainability Needs
Thursday, September 25, 2025
8:30–10:30 am ET
Gensler, 1700 Broadway, Suite 400, New York, NY

In the face of growing risks due to more frequent and intense disasters and expanding focus on sustainability performance, assets that underperform may see lower valuations. This session will examine the potential for such a result and measures that the building industry can take to help avoid such a reality. From state and local government in the form of building departments to architects to valuation professionals to building owners and operators, each has a role to play.
