Buildings and construction are responsible for roughly 40% of global carbon emissions. So the real estate sector has an absolutely critical role to play in the transition to net zero. At the same time, demographic and cultural shifts are fundamentally changing the way we live and work. We need new property solutions that reflect and address this demand, while also supporting broader economic growth.
At Bridges, we believe that investing in the built environment is imperative if we want to build a more sustainable and inclusive future. But it’s also a unique opportunity. By investing in real estate that helps to reduce carbon emissions, improve wellbeing, regenerate communities and address unmet needs, we can also tap into the growing demand for sustainable assets – enabling us to unlock substantial economic value.
Get in touchWe focus primarily on three sectors where demographic and lifestyle shifts are driving long-term demand, creating an opportunity for sustainability-focused investors to achieve attractive returns alongside measurable societal impact.
HUB and Bridges have developed thousands of homes together over the last decade. The strength of this relationship comes from our shared commitment to social value, sustainability and quality architecture, while also investing in local communities through improved infrastructure and new public realm.
We work closely with a select group of expert joint venture partners. In many of these cases we have worked together on multiple projects over a number of years.
