For Land Purchasers

Development, almost by definition, impacts the environment. Investa Land aspires to minimise this impact by sourcing and valuing quality design and construction services. By creating a high quality product, Investa Land enhances the value its developments bring to its occupants, the community, and its long term owners. Aside from managing risk, Investa Land’s focus on sustainability leads to a variety of commercial opportunities.

These include:

• Building a reputation for creating a high quality product
• Attracting high quality tenants
• Enhancing relationships with various tiers of government
• Creating savings in development and operating costs
• Attracting rebates and reduced infrastructure charges based on reduced utility requirements
• Obtaining cost savings from reduced resource consumption and wastage, as well as funding for alternative energy and water sources
