Ten Principles for the Transformation of Real Estate
The question is not whether the business of real estate will change, but how. Over the first half of 2021, IMT gathered a coalition of 20+ real estate leaders representing buildings and businesses of various sizes and geographies to explore how the real estate industry could lead collectively to a more just and sustainable future. Informed by these discussions and anchored by IMT’s 25+ years of experience in co-creating, testing, and deploying transformative solutions, we created the following 10 principles for transformative real estate leadership practices.
 | Support local communities |  | Ensure all buildings are healthy and safe |
 | Use supply chains as levers of change |  | Manage, measure, and report impacts |
 | Expand power within firms |  | Invest and finance creatively |
 | Transition to a low-carbon economy |  | Plan for the future with resilience in mind |
 | Diversify business relationships |  | Align all actions with values |
