Energy Rights and Power Production, Chris Pawlik @ EPR Squared Real Angle: Building Success in Commercial Real Estate

    • Investering

Chris Pawlik, co-founder of EPR Squared, explains the concept of energy producing retail realty and how the company offers a sale leaseback of energy rights to property owners. By developing energy rights behind the meter, property owners can decrease operating expenses and increase net operating income. The agreements typically last around seven years, and EPR Squared provides a percentage rent to the property owner based on the revenue generated from the power. The company targets projects with a minimum size of 30,000 to 50,000 square feet, but is also developing an energy rights portal to accommodate smaller projects.
