Energy Value: A New Imperative in Assessing C&I Real Estate

In today’s commercial and industrial (C&I) real estate landscape, the ability to attract tenants and maintain property value increasingly depends on more than location and lease terms. Assessing energy resiliency in C&I properties has become critical for meeting market demands and addressing challenges like rising energy costs and grid instability. Energy value will redefine how properties are evaluated as tenant expectations increasingly focus on achieving sustainability goals, operational resilience, and optimizing net operating income (NOI).

When effectively planned, energy storage systems, renewable energy integration, and on-site generation can mitigate risks, generate revenue, and enhance property appeal by aligning with tenant expectations in commercial real estate and delivering measurable financial and operational benefits.

Properties that fail to prioritize energy resiliency risk declining valuation and tenant dissatisfaction.
