lending valuation. It is pro-cyclical when we need counter cyclical measures. It
encourages more lending in booms and less in recessions, again the wrong way
around.”

“The city landscape of Colombo is rising and featuring
aesthetic architecture. This shows a good sign to Colombo’s economy. Aesthetic
architecture needs scale economy, providing an extra reason to build taller
buildings. The economic risk of building skyscrapers is large and sudden increase in
supply due to indivisibility. Additionally, there might be certain social
implications that policy makers need to be mindful. Good governance and planning
could offer a solution. Colombo’s urban and real estate development needs to
optimize economic vibrancy and social and environmental sustainability.”

“The future trend of SMART Commercial Building should be
more "Human-Centric". In the period of 1980-1990 world has private office and
cubicles… and then in 1990-2000 activity base working and co-working dominates…. now
neighborhood choice environment is dominating… Everybody may not have same
requirements?”
Prof. Deborah Susan Levy, The University of Auckland
“As buildings or real estate are responsible for 38% of global carbon or
greenhouse gas emissions, commercial real estate investors have a significant opportunity to
accelerate the transformation toward sustainability in their portfolios. Investors can play a role
in driving this change, while tracking ESG data to achieve certifications.”
Prof. Sara Wilkinson, Professor of Sustainable Property, University of

“The most practical response to the capitalisation rate conundrum of how to effectively apply the capitalisation of income method in markets with incomplete or unreliable data is for Government, the relevant professional body and a national or international IT group to work together and develop an effective system of collection and distribution of complete and reliable information.”
