The Responsible Property Investing Center covers multiple social and environmental dimensions of real estate investment, including smart growth, social equity and community development, urban revitalization, energy conservation, environmental protection and local and corporate citizenship.

RPI offers a tool to assess key risks and opportunities in areas that are too often overlooked in today’s short-term focused real estate investment practices—it helps investors anticipate changes in the consumer, investment, and regulatory arenas. Over the long-term, RPI can help create institutional competitive advantage both through better management of risks and opportunities, and also through enhanced reputation.
