Leveraging Sustainability: ANA Facilities’ Investment in ZEH Certified Properties

In a significant move towards promoting sustainable living, ANA Facilities, headquartered in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, has announced its investment in an anonymous partnership with ZEH2 LLC, a real estate fund managed by SBI Tohzai Realty. This partnership emphasizes the importance of energy-efficient rental residences which are not only good for the environment but also enhance asset values in the real estate sector.

A Step Towards Sustainable Development

The real estate fund focuses on properties that have high energy-saving capabilities, specifically those classified as ZEH Ready, which signifies a home designed to achieve a 50% reduction in energy consumption through energy saving and generation. The decision to invest aligns with ANA Facilities' mission to integrate environmental sustainability into its business practices, establishing this initiative as an integral aspect of their operation. This move is not just about financial returns; it represents a commitment to contributing positively to the society and the environment.

Strategic Partnerships and Expertise

ANA Facilities plans to utilize its extensive knowledge in real estate management to forge strong partnerships with various stakeholders, including the SBI Group. The company aims to deepen its understanding of ZEH characteristics in properties while working closely with involved parties to enhance the value of these investments. This approach is geared towards fulfilling expectations from investors and the community while driving the proliferation of eco-friendly real estate solutions that contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Future Expansion Plans

Looking ahead, ANA Facilities intends to combine its investment in real estate funds with asset management services to accelerate business expansion. Capitalizing on its unique position as the only real estate company within the ANA Group, there is a plan to explore the establishment and operation of real estate funds focusing on airport-related facilities.

Key Features of the Fund

The primary characteristics of the ZEH2 fund include:

• - Energy Efficiency: The fund manages residential buildings that feature high insulation performance and efficient energy systems. These properties stand out due to their lower primary energy consumption compared to typical rental housing.
• - Assessment and Certification: The fund’s financial activities are evaluated for compliance with the SBI Shinsei Bank Group’s Green Finance Framework and the Green Loan Principles by SBI Shinsei Bank's Sustainable Impact Assessment Division.
• - Property Details: Although some properties within the multifamily buildings may not hold ZEH certification due to spatial limitations for solar panel installation, every unit meets or exceeds ZEH Oriented standards for energy efficiency.
