Index continues to show value of green buildings in South Africa

Investment services and advisory company MSCI’s South Africa Green Annual Property Index for 2023 shows that green-certified prime and A-grade offices produced a total return of 5.8%, which was 150 basis points above that of non-certified office assets of a similar quality during the year. The index, released in conjunction with the Green Building Council of South Africa (GBCSA) and sponsored by JSE-listed real estate investment trust Growthpoint Properties, continued to support the investment case for sustainable, resource-efficient real estate.
