“Real estate is ripe with opportunities for sustainable improvements, and we’re proud to be working with WashREIT to demonstrate how these opportunities can be leveraged in the multifamily sector, as well as across the industry at large via green financing options,” said Breana Wheeler, US Director of Operations at BRE. “In recent years, we have seen a significant demand for owners and operators to improve their ESG performance, and in that time WashREIT has exerted a conscientious and ultimately successful effort to exemplify its own commitment to measure its performance and report against external sustainable standards across its portfolio. Moving forward, the implementation of a holistic, science-based approach to building performance will prove crucial for the success of any asset, and we see this as the first of many partnerships with REITs and the entirety of the real estate sector.”

The assets’ certification process was led by an independent third-party assessor UL, a global safety science leader. UL’s role was critical to WashREIT’s achievement of safety, security and sustainability goals across the portfolio, as the assessor provided third-party assessment of each building's sustainable quality and ESG performance.
