Downtown
San Francisco, Calif.
Join HIP Investor’s rapidly growing (and consistently sold out) Investor Roundtable Series as we explore some of
the most HIP public and private companies in the real estate industry.
Through speakers and discussion, the Roundtable will address how
companies simultaneously solve customer needs, benefit the environment,
and make money for investors.
Commercial and residential buildings account for more than 60% of total
electricity consumption in the U.S. -- and around 30% of related
Greenhouse Gas emissions. Fortunately, "green" building is emerging
fast as a critical strategy to reducing the energy, water, carbon
emissions and associated costs of this high impact industry.
How is it possible to realize 40% reductions in energy, water and
emissions for almost no extra construction cost (less than 2% more)?
Which projects have the fastest payback, some energy efficiency and
lighting solutions in less than one year? Who are the developers, real
estate investment trusts (REITs), and investment funds leading the way
in green construction and retrofitting? How are they innovating for
human impact and profit? Come learn from our featured speakers:
* Ritesh Patel, Chief Investment Officer of Virtu Investments
(www.VirtuInvestments.com ), a real estate investment, property
management and consulting firm, is applying its ‘Green Living’ program
and is implementing sustainability standards across its residential and
commercial properties.
* Ricardo Bayon, Partner and Co-Founder of EKO Asset Management
Partners (www.ekoamp.com ), a specialized investment firm focused on
discovering and monetizing unrealized or unrecognized environmental
assets.
* Typically, we will also have a few Roundtable attendees ”pop up” for
a two-minute overview of their innovations.
