The panel evaluated Puerto Rico’s economic development, housing, and land use protocols in order to increase community resilience in the face of future large-scale storms. During the visit, the experts addressed ways to mitigate environmental risks with appropriate land-use protocols, as well as strategies for growing public-private partnerships and investment opportunities. The panel spent time interviewing Toa Baja municipal officials, including mayor “Betito” Marquez. Before departing, the ULI panel drafted a report and delivered a presentation with disaster preparedness recommendations to the Toa Baja officials.

The CEO and president of Greenfield Partners, LLC, a private equity real estate firm in Connecticut, Eugene Gorab has been working in the acquisition and investment in real estate for more than two decades. Active in the professional community, Eugene Gorab belongs to organizations such as the Urban Land Institute (ULI). In its efforts to promote the responsible use of land and the creation of sustainable communities, ULI regularly conducts surveys and other reports. The organization’s recent Greenprint Center for Building Performance report looked at the commercial real estate industry’s progress toward environmental sustainability. Data for the report came from Greenprint Center members, who are some of the leading real estate investors, owners, and financial institutions in the world. According to the report, Greenprint Center members are making significant progress in the reduction of water usage, waste disposal, energy consumption, and carbon emissions in their buildings. This puts them on track to surpass the Greenprint Center’s 2030 target of reducing emissions by at least 50 percent. Greenprint Center members reduced their emissions and energy consumption by employing a wide range of practices, including tenant engagement, waste reduction projects, and the installation of high-efficiency equipment. Because of these practices, emission reduction among members was equivalent to taking 12,600 cars off the road and planting 1.5 million trees. |
