Jamestown

Jamestown is a global, design-focused real estate investment and management firm with a 40-year track record and a mission to transform spaces into innovation hubs and community centers. Since its founding by Christoph Kahl in 1983, Jamestown has executed transactions totaling approximately $40 billion. As of March 31, 2023, the company has assets under management of $12.5 billion and a portfolio spanning key markets throughout the U.S., Europe, and Latin America.

Sustainability is integrated throughout Jamestown’s business operations, and the Jamestown Green team works with multiple departments to reduce utility costs and the environmental impact of buildings in the firm’s portfolio. Jamestown Green has institutionalized management best practices in reporting by benchmarking energy, water, waste, and carbon footprint data for asset and facility managers, investors, and other stakeholders. The firm uses third-party certification and voluntary reporting programs such as ENERGY STAR, LEED, and the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB).

To achieve its sustainability goals, Jamestown set several short-term targets, including energy audits, building management software implementation, renewable energy production, EV infrastructure, and improving resilience to climate risks.
