The hotel business case establishes the benefits for each of the participants along the value chain and throughout the whole life cycle of a development project across the built environment.  The sustainable development business case supports the rapidly growing sustainability agenda of all project stakeholders.

City planning authorities, developers, investors, legislators, and community groups must collaborate for communities to develop and operate sustainably.  For the sustainability of buildings and infrastructure, the needs of the communities must be considered and decided in the planning stage of development projects.

Developers plan long-term and engage the stakeholders – designers, builders, investors, operators, and others – to participate in development projects.  Collaboration with the stakeholders who benefit from the development of buildings and infrastructure is key to the success of investments in development projects.

Property development transactions are subject to increasingly strict laws, regulations and standards, which expose stakeholders to risks along the project life cycle.  Property acquisitions and dispositions present a significant opportunity to create value through investments in energy efficiency, health, and building resilience.
