For Tenants

Investa recognises that the fundamental purpose of managing office buildings is to provide a productive and effective place for people to work. We believe this goes beyond the obvious provisions such as air conditioning, cleaning and lifts to include enhanced amenities and better environmental performance.

We believe the best outcomes for us, our tenants and the environment are achieved through a cooperative approach. Investa has developed a number of innovative environmental initiatives to facilitate this which include:

  • EcoSpace. An Investa initiative
