In-person Event Birmingham Community House 380 S Bates Birmingham, MI 48009

CREW Detroit, a leading business network for commercial real estate professionals, is convening an industry panel of leading developers, investors and sustainability professionals to explore the future of responsible development. As real estate organizations adopt net-zero policies, the focus has shifted from ambition to execution, with electrification, AI-driven smart buildings, adaptive reuse and climate risk underwriting reshaping how assets are designed, financed and valued.

Warner partner <a href="https://www.wnj.com/people/kurt-m-brauer/">Kurt Brauer</a> will participate on the panel that will discuss ESG integration, operational decarbonization, energy-efficient design and resilient infrastructure. Panelists will share practical insights on green financing opportunities, evolving regulatory trends and shifting tenant and investor expectations, including the growing impact of climate risk on asset valuation. Joining Brauer on stage are:

Victoria Brinemugha, Amazon’s senior engineering program manager
