energy performance standards and
retrofitting policies gaining prominence.

nearshoring is underscored by investments in regions such as Mexico, bolstered by shifts in
global supply chains. These actions highlight the broader trend towards enhancing
operational efficiencies and
sustainability practices across real estate portfolios.
