Business plan overview

The market for commercial buildings which are environmentally sustainable has been steadily growing in recent years. The evidence across the world is very strong that such buildings are grabbing attention because they pay their way.

The ANSI project will be at the leading edge of this movement. The present climate for environmentally sensitive change is underpinned by the business case for a net positive building design and operation.

The advent of short term global and Australian economic difficulties, along with the short term over supply of office space in the ACT, may mean some hesitancy in the market place if the development project is a traditional building or even with a ‘green’ gloss.

Significantly, the uncertain times over the next year or so points inexorably to the need for environmental sustainability in the built environment. Government clients, for example, now demand no less than a 6 star rating for buildings they might occupy. Commercial investors are looking to ensure they have a building for potential clients which will meet extant environmental standards as one way to future proof their investments.

The ANSI project provides a lot of answers to the issues confronting both developers and clients interested in the commercial office sector. Located on the banks of Lake Burley Griffin, alongside the highly sought-after suburb of Kingston, and central to the ACT Government’s ‘Eastlake’ sustainable suburban project, the ANSI net positive environment building is going to meet the demands of a much more critical client in the future.

The ANSI building will produce a very good return on investment because it overtakes even the best present building and operational standards and goes well beyond these. This is an attractive feature in any competitive market but even more so in Australia and the ACT at this point in time. With a new ACT government being pushed to demonstrate its green credentials by a powerful cross bench, the ANSI opportunity, as one of the world’s first net positive structure, is a very attractive proposition from all points of view.

Being environmentally sustainable is fine but not enough! The ANSI project is more than a straightforward real estate development. The project will contain an eco hotel, an ecologically smart conference centre and a series of spaces available for a wide range of eco-focussed offices, activities and enterprises.

This ANSO project is where exciting things are happening. This is because the underpinning design, use of the available spaces, highly competitive operating costs, and site management are all an amazing collection of new thinking, a new pathway for urban development. It will be an attractor for the hard- nosed investor interested in catching the wave of highly sustainable urban development. This project offers the opportunity to be at the leading edge of this movement.

The ANSI project introduces participants to a down-to-earth practical way to tap into growing community market demands for innovation and sustainable practices. This is because the design is based on the core principles of net positive development.

Not only is an association with such a timely concept as a building of the future very highly valued, but the very association will value add to the operations of all who are part of the site. The ANSI project will be a business node buzzing with activity and generating optimism for all who feel overwhelmed by the global challenges before humanity.

The ANSI project is a must for any company or organisation with a genuine claim to being concerned with ecologically sustainable development. Such organisations have no option but to take up space in this unique centre.
