Abstract

Green corporate real estate (CRE) provides many benefits, especially to the environment. However, companies cannot fully benefit from a green building if the manager poorly manages the building. The CRE manager must consider numerous factors to ensure the building performs well and contributes a positive financial return to the company. Therefore, a study was conducted to investigate the key elements of corporate real estate sustainable management (CRESM) to facilitate CRE managers in efficiently managing and enhancing the existing management of their office buildings. Thus, the researcher conducted a semi-structured interview with thirteen experts in CRESM. Then, the data was analysed through thematic content analysis using Atlast.ti software. The findings highlight nine key elements of CRESM for office buildings.
