A Passion for Properties
The future lies in established buildings: They offer huge potential both economically and ecologically, as well as in terms of functionality. Our dossier ‘A PASSION FOR PROPERTIES Refurbishing. Revitalizing. Transforming.’ shows how principals and investors are leveraging this potential.
Each established building presents its own specific challenges: unique structural features, extensions, building services equipment with various levels of technology, diverse usage scenarios, special environmental requirements, and adherence to new EU Taxonomy and ESG regulations. But what is the best way to deal with this mix of internal and external requirements?
Our approach to optimizing established buildings
Our specialists for established buildings undertake feasibility studies to examine a range of variants for transformation. They harmonize economic and ecological criteria, and reconcile them with the future users’ needs and ideas.
This customized approach works well regardless of the size, type of use and specific challenges presented by buildings. It brings success wherever it’s applied – whether in the commercial sector or industry, residential buildings or hospitals, sports facilities or extensive urban districts. It also works, for example, if a local authority wants to set up its own climate neutral energy supply. And it is useful in the case of property portfolios that require a strategic reorientation, for example, with the help of a carefully considered climate roadmap.
Our dossier ‘A PASSION FOR PROPERTIES – Refurbishing. Revitalizing. Transforming.’ presents projects from Drees & Sommer’s everyday operations. It focuses on the hurdles to be overcome and the people behind the success of the projects. The dossier:
- Shows what can be done in each individual case – and sets out the path to the desired outcome
- Provides information on the widely varying sectors and building types, triggers, implementation options and goals
- Gives examples of how ecology and economy work in harmony
