Mona Benisi, director of sustainability at Simon Property Group, Inc. (NYSE: SPG), joined REIT.com for a video interview at NAREIT’s 2015 Leader in the Light Working Forum in Reston, Va.
Benisi noted that one of the issues surrounding green leases in the retail sector is that of properly explaining what the contract involves.
“It’s a new topic; it’s evolving, both for landlords and tenants. I think a big challenge is having proper communication and really explaining what is part of a green lease,” Benisi said.
