Colorado Commercial Real Estate Initiative (CO-CREI)
The Colorado Commercial Real Estate Initiative, or Colorado CREI, is the newest major initiative launched by November 2009. Colorado CREI seeks to advance sustainable design, construction, operations, and maintenance in the commercial real estate sector in Colorado. Colorado CREI will focus on two major groups within the commercial real estate sector:
- Building owners & property managers (LEED for Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance)
- Commercial real estate brokers (LEED for Commercial Interiors)
Colorado CREI will help to build the business case for green building in Colorado, with the goal of successful and profitable implementation of green building practices in the commercial real estate sector. The initiative will also foster growth in the demand for green commercial real estate in local markets across Colorado, addressing a diverse range of real estate sectors including office buildings, corporate workplaces, retail, and hospitalitly to name a few.
Colorado CREI will develop and implement targeted green building education, networking opportunities, and resources - all specific to the needs and emerging priorities of the commercial real estate sector in Colorado.
Colorado CREI will be based on collaborative relationships with allied companies and organizations in the commercial real estate sector as a way of optimizing scarce resources. Colorado CREI partners with allied companies and organizations working in the commercial real estate sector as a way of otimizing scarce resources. Colorado CREI partners will work together to bring needed information and other resources to the commercial real estate industry in Colorado.
