Alan this is very interesting, what does your sustainable living program entail? 

Lev, thank you for the engaging response. I am currently developing lifestyle communities that are focused on people, planet, and profit. We utilize an efficient method that allows us to build homes very cost effectively while producing less waste and reducing our carbon footprint. We also implement well designed and aesthetically pleasing homes within our forward thinking site plans, to ensure both people in the community and homeowners are happy. By taking our pre-development a step further and looking at the triple bottom line I think we can continue to advance our development process and improve the quality of life for people. 

Do you value the triple bottom line, people, planet, and profit when making investment decisions? If so, how do you base your valuation? If not, why don't you? 

Today we live in a more transparent world than ever before. People are becoming aware of what is going on and how things are done, given the access to information via the internet. Everyone is directly affected by real estate every day, and as we grow as a civilization, I think it is important to discuss how real estate should move forward to advance our world. I believe sustainability is the key component to this. Before the value was solely on capital as a valuable resource for why people did something. However, with technology we have freed ourselves from more than just this short term mindset to also taking into account people and the planet. A focus on these as value could create a new way of investing, and when investing into properties, these should be taken into account. I believe we need to find a way, to make these a vital element to the ROI when investing in real estate. If there were incentives, breaks, credibility, and other items that reward sustainable real estate investments, we would transform our world into a healthy, happy, prosperous ecosystem that thrives. With sustainable practices and technology, there is no reason that we can not achieve a higher level of abundance for the human race. What are everyone's thoughts?

Looking at locating a high-end restaurant in Birmingham, MI and want to know some market comps on what one should expect to pay to lease downtown per sq ft. Does anyone know what the cost per sq ft to lease is for downtown Birmingham restaurant space?
