More than 50 per cent of office tenants are keen to reside in green buildings, a recent study has found.
Colliers' 2008 Office Tenant Survey indicates the majority of tenants didn't just see the value of green office spaces, they are also prepared to pay higher rents to occupy one.
The Australian claims the trend shows many businesses are serious about corporate social responsibility while cost savings and staff retention are suggested as other benefits.
The study also found 77 per cent of tenants considered environmental sustainability when refurbishing their workplaces in 2008, an increase of 28 per cent over the last three years.
