Environmental, Social and Governance
About 50% of the existing apartment stock was built prior to 1980 – with the rate of annual obsolescence, if investments are not made in older properties, we will lose an important and affordable portion of the housing stock. LEM invests in “at risk” housing providing a safe, clean and contemporary home for the average working class American.
Over the last ten years we’ve renovated and returned to market over 17,000 units and have implemented various green initiatives across our renovation programs. Today our focus is on identifying the right partner to help establish environmental due diligence initiatives with a focus around waste, water, and energy measurement, establishing reduction goals and benchmarking.
