Sustainable buildings are gaining prominence in the Colombian real estate market, backed by ecological and financial advantages that outshine traditional counterparts. While the initial investment is higher, a closer examination is needed to determine the superior long-term investment between the two. A comprehensive analysis of figures and emerging trends sheds light on the future trajectory of sustainable construction in Colombia.

A recent study by MinTIC reveals that approximately 45% of companies in Colombia are incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into their operations, and the real estate sector is no exception. AI plays a pivotal role in real estate management, influencing profitability and reducing vacancy rates. It enhances the comprehensive management of spaces, services, and processes, optimizing building and resource utilization. Additionally, AI enables companies to provide more efficient real estate services, allowing them to concentrate on their core business without concerns about real estate matters.

The Colombian real estate sector takes significant strides towards sustainability, aligning with the government’s ambitious targets. With a focus on reducing 51% of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) by 2030 and achieving complete carbon neutrality by 2050, the sector boasts 154 certified sustainable projects, showcasing a commitment to environmental goals set by the National Carbon Neutrality Program.
