FORE Partnership

Great stuff! We're proud to have supported this really fantastic initiative. #buildingFOREward #futureofrealestate

🌿🏢 Building FOREward 🏢🌿 Sustainability is no longer just an ideal, it has become an imperative. Our cities are at the centre of a revolution that is well underway, a revolution powered by innovation and technology, grounded in culture and heritage. We've been at this for a dozen years now with our real estate investment and asset management platform, and have worked tirelessly to drive down carbon and drive up social impact. And it's great to see the property industry catching up😁 We call our effort to lead this transformation Building FOREward. You can be a part of the Building FOREward movement by signing up to our mailing list where our Basil Demeroutis shares our approach to creating a more sustainable built environment. How as advisor and investor we are doing this for our own properties, and increasingly for buildings owned by others. https://okt.to/FxVJqi Come see how we distill down a complex array of technical, financial, and social issues into some simple principles and tactics that anyone can apply. Basil discusses everything from what new low carbon products we have found, data we are pulling from our properties, happenings within the FORE world, and news you may have missed about climate, all aiming to help create a better future through conscious construction and efficient designs.

As part of an examination of which retrofit measures are the most carbon and cost-effective to implement, Basil Demeroutis wrote for the UK Green Building Council (UKGBC), alongside the Chief Executive of UKGBC, Smith Mordak. “We estimate there are around 6,500 office buildings above 20,000 sq ft in London alone in urgent need of retrofit to meet existing EPC regulations and hit London’s ambitious net zero goals. Fixing them could save over £1 billion annually in electricity costs, and crucially…drive up the investment value of these buildings by 15-20% through what has become a clear green premium.” FORE’s #TowerBridgeCourt development offers an example of retrofit in action, as a net zero carbon building, which is being transformed to create a new space that will help to regenerate the community around it.

Exploring AI in the digital age of real estate at the recent Bisnow event, Basil Demeroutis spoke to attendees about how AI could shape how we operate: “We cannot be passive recipients of what AI gives us and just go home happily at 4pm. We should be asking AI more questions on the output. The results it gives us is only a beginning of the conversation.” The event saw a selection of industry leaders come together to discuss efficiency, engagement and ways in which AI can be incorporated. Thank you for having us Bisnow. #AI #realestate #futreofrealestate #london #digital #londonrealestate

Basil Demeroutis took to the stage at SPACE+ recently, alongside Suzy Jones (Urban Spaces) and host Ami Kotecha (Amiro Partners) to discuss future proofing and ESG. Within their conversation they discussed the challenges facing us in the current landscape, what this could mean for the upcoming generation, and what principles are needed to work through this. Here’s what Basil had to say to the audience of property leaders: ‘We need to remember that customers are not users or sales statistics or marketing targets. They are people. And to serve them, we need to start from first principles…We can create belonging. We can decide that through our designs and architecture that we are not just going to try to connect people with place, but people with people. Empathy is our superpower. And with it, we can foster agency and meaning in everyone that comes in contact with our buildings.’ Head to SPACE+ to find out more on the discussions from property’s industry leaders. #spaceuk #futureofrealstate #buildingFOREward #proptech

Mayor of Southwark Michael Situ joined us to celebrate TBC.London topping out this month. It marked a key milestone, as we transform the building into one of London’s most sustainable and healthy workspaces. Alongside our project team and valued local partners, it was also an opportunity to welcome back some of the 50 or so young adults who have taken part in our Building Lives Academy at TBC.London. The programme has provided them with the skills, qualifications, and work experience to progress into a career in construction. In the summer our contractor Willmott Dixon will complete their work to retrofit our building on the banks of the River Thames, creating a 100% electric, low carbon, high social impact workplace fit for a new generation of occupiers.
