How Green Leases Are Rewriting Commercial Real Estate
from Climate Economics with Fexingo: Carbon Pricing, Green Policy, and Sustainability Costs · host Fexingo
In this episode of Climate Economics with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore the rise of green leases — contractual clauses that force landlords and tenants to share energy data, meet efficiency targets, and split the cost of retrofits. They dive into a specific case: the 2024 retrofit of One Manhattan West in New York, where a green lease helped cut common-area energy use by 28 percent in 18 months. They discuss why green leases matter for corporate emissions targets, how they shift negotiation dynamics in the $20 trillion commercial real estate market, and why lawyers are suddenly the most important players in climate policy. Tune in for a concrete look at how a piece of paper can decarbonize a building faster than any government mandate. #GreenLeases #CommercialRealEstate #ClimateEconomics #OneManhattanWest #EnergyEfficiency #Retrofit #CarbonEmissions #CorporateSustainability #RealEstateLaw #TenantLandlord #Scope2Emissions #NetZero #BuildingPerformance #LeaseNegotiation #ESG #ClimatePolicy #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
