#Beyond Buildings

With a total of € 44.2bn invested over the last 12 months, investment in retail assets in Europe continues to rally. This significant increase of +20% is higher than for offices (+10%) or logistics (+17%).

Among the many causes that BNP Paribas Real Estate supports through its sponsorship and patronage activities, medical and charitable programmes are some of the most important. Helping to contribute to building a more inclusive society, BNP Paribas Real Estate is committed to working alongside local players across Europe.

in order to face the growing number of challenges that our world is currently facing, whether that be environmental, social or demographic, the real estate sector must constantly strive to reinvent itself and adjust to new ways of functioning. 

Although the health crisis of recent years initially threw the real estate sector off kilter, it was able to adapt and bounce back. The situation helped to develop new, so-called alternative assets, while also confirming the central role of ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) criteria.
 

In BNP Paribas Real Estate’s latest podcast series, Real Catch Up, Csongor Csukas Global Head of Property Management, Europe explains how buildings must adapt to the new needs of their occupants.

In this new issue of Real Catch Up, the BNP Paribas Real Estate podcast that observes and analyses trends in the real estate sector and the city of the future, we will be discussing the extremely important topic of urban mobility. Whether it is to reduce their carbon footprint or to stand out from their competitors, a growing number of companies now offer a wide range of electric transport options.

The restructuring and conversion of obsolete buildings with a view to recycling, the reversible construction of new buildings to anticipate a change of use and the re-use of materials all seem to be logical, meaningful solutions for the future of our real estate projects and our cities. This new issue of BuzzWords explains these concepts and tells us how BNP Paribas Real Estate is implementing them in its activities.
