#246 Avoiding stranded assets in construction and real estate sector

The BuiltSmart Hub's podcast focuses on the phenomenon of
stranded assets in the construction and real estate
sector. It explains how investments can lose value or become
obsolete due to external factors such as technological
developments, regulatory changes and social change. The article
identifies the main causes, including CO₂ emissions,
technological advances and market shifts, and emphasizes the
importance of early risk identification. It also presents risk
mitigation strategies that include robust business cases,
sensitivity analyses, agile decision-making structures and the
integration of sustainability and ESG criteria to ensure the
long-term value retention of real estate. Practical examples
illustrate the implementation of these strategies.
