Ashish Sharma, AVP Operations, Brahma Group, believes that green commercial real estate is the future of the industry. 'With the rising concerns about climate change, developers are realizing the importance of creating sustainable buildings that minimize their carbon footprint. Green buildings are not only environmentally friendly but also offer several benefits to the occupants, including improved air quality, natural light, and reduced energy consumption.'
Sharma highlights the importance of sustainable construction materials, waste management, and energy-efficient systems in green buildings. 'Developers need to adopt sustainable practices throughout the construction process, from selecting eco-friendly materials to implementing energy-efficient systems. This not only reduces the environmental impact of the building but also provides a healthy and productive environment for the occupants.'
The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) has taken a significant step towards promoting sustainable construction practices by mandating developers to maintain separate bank accounts for project-related expenses. This will ensure transparency, financial discipline, and better monitoring of transactions.
The move is expected to minimize potential delays in project completion, ensuring that homebuyers receive their properties on time. Moreover, it will enhance the credibility of the real estate sector, fostering trust among homebuyers.
As the demand for green buildings continues to rise, developers are working towards creating sustainable and eco-friendly constructions that not only reduce their environmental impact but also provide a healthy and productive environment for the occupants. With the increasing awareness about climate change and environmental degradation, green commercial real estate is set to become the norm in the Indian real estate sector.
