Redbrick LMD White Paper Explores How Its Decarbonization Strategy Creates Value
WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 17, 2025--
At a time when the push for emissions reductions and decarbonization is declining in some jurisdictions, a white paper released by Redbrick LMD yesterday at the Global Impact Investors Network (GIIN) West Coast Impact Forum makes the strong business case for how sustainable development can create long-term economic value while also mitigating risk. The white paper, Value Creation Through Decarbonization, explores the work of Redbrick LMD, a pioneering real estate development and investment firm that is developing more than 10 net zero carbon buildings in Washington, DC. The GIIN West Coast Forum brings together impact investing executives focused on driving change in the Americas.
'The discussion about sustainability and specifically decarbonization in real estate has largely focused on mission-driven environmental and social benefits. For years, we have focused on sustainable development, and decarbonization in particular, as a long-term strategy to optimize returns for our investors,' said William Passmore, Managing Partner, Redbrick LMD.
Redbrick invited a national expert who has studied the relationship between real estate decarbonization and economics for many years to review its pipeline of projects, both to test their thinking and to provide a case study that offers fresh approaches for other real estate investors and developers to consider. The white paper examines Redbrick's approach as it develops its pipeline of more than 8 million square feet. Key findings from the interviews and research associated with creating this white paper include:
The white paper's author, Paul Rabinovitch, is a national expert in real estate decarbonization and the author of Investment Opportunities in Decarbonizing Real Estate (2024). He has been working at the intersection of real estate, sustainability, and impact investing, and leading organizations that merge financial performance with environmental and social value.
