## TL;DR
- Trophy assets target LEED Platinum, BREEAM Outstanding, NABERS 5.5+, BCA Green Mark Platinum.
- ESG-rated buildings command a 5-10% rent premium and stronger tenant covenants.
- Corporate disclosure regimes (TCFD, CSRD, SEC climate rule) are flowing through to leasing decisions.
- Demand the operational rating, not just the design rating — they often diverge.
- Insist on shared metering and quarterly energy data as part of the lease.
