Pacific Grove, CA, March 22, 2006 –- http://www.pacificsecuritycapital.com – Pacific Security Capital, a vertically integrated real estate services company, announced today its plans to educate business investors in the true value of “green” property development.
Many investors are discouraged by the upfront costs of building green without taking into account the considerable return-on-investment. Recent studies show that green properties can hold and potentially increase their value much more than traditional buildings.
“The problem is that the investment community lacks a formal framework for analyzing and valuing green property development from a business investment perspective,” said Theddi Wright Chappell, Pacific Security Capital’s Managing Director of Advisory Services. “Many investors use the terms cost and value interchangeably without realizing that they mean different things.”
The value of developing properties that conserve water, generate better air quality and are more energy efficient far surpasses the upfront costs associated with building green.
Investors, landlords, employers and occupants can all enjoy the benefits of a green building, such as:
- Significantly reduced utility bills
- Extended property lifecycle
- Increased employee productivity and less absenteeism due to better air quality that prevents airborne sickness
- Reduced maintenance costs
- Less tenant turnover
San Diego, CA, March 8, 2006 –- http://www.pacificsecuritycapital.com – Pacific Security Capital, a leading commercial real estate services company, announced today that there is strength in the outlook for the multifamily sector, despite cap rate compression in most major markets.
While many speculate over the single family home bubble, apartment owners and developers expect business to thrive during 2006.
“The strong demand for ownership housing has pushed prices beyond the reach of a larger percentage of the nation’s population and above what some consider sustainable values,” said Simon Acheson, Director of Pacific Security Capital. “As the economy continues to strengthen and the workforce expands, the demand for housing remains strong but inventory is priced at levels that more and more people can‘t afford or won’t spend.”
Pacific Security Capital believes that this growing trend is like to renew strength in the multi-family market.
“The single family home bubble is deflating and the condo market is saturated,” said Acheson.
Acheson will be presenting a session on Equity Financing for Multi-Family Projects at the upcoming Apartment Finance Today Developer Conference in San Diego, CA, March 8 – 10, 2006. Acheson will discuss the growth of rental real estate, including key questions, such as:
- How high rent will rise
- How developers can meet the increasing need for affordable housing
- How long before rent prices peak
