What is the Real Estate Sustainability Series? A four-part, monthly series designed to bring the Portland metro real estate community together to examine the most innovative approaches in sustainable building, the latest industry trends, and pertinent legal and accounting developments.

Who should attend? Anyone involved in our real estate community! From developer to investor, broker to property manager, tenant to landlord, we'll cover the latest industry developments you should be aware of as a member of our real estate community. Plus, you'll have the opportunity to network with your peers and local industry leaders.

This is just the first of four! Join us for other discussions related to sustainable building including financing models, ecosystem services, and how the legal and tax/financial accounting implications fit in. Mark your calendar now and stay tuned for more information.
