Obelisk International puts Climate Change at the Heart of its Property Investment Strategy

Obelisk International brings ecologically sound investments to the forefront of the property market

In recent years the terms ‘Kyoto Agreement’ and ‘climate change’ have become more mainstream news for the general population rather than the segregated green factions. As a consequence of this newfound public awareness, previously unwatched sectors of Industry are drawing greater attention to their environmental impacts. The construction industry, both actual construction works as well as the manufacture of building materials, impacts heavily upon the environment according to a report from the Association for Environment Conscious Building (ACEB) stating that buildings have a major impact on the earth’s biosphere with 50% of UK’s Co2 emissions (excluding air industry) produced by buildings and 10% of global emissions from cement manufacture. This presents a key opportunity for the industry to clean up operations to take the lead in influencing the entire industry and is crucial for the health of our environment.

In the first major policy commitment of his campaign, Gordon Brown announced plans for five new "eco towns" with up to 100,000 low carbon or carbon neutral homes. In his comments Gordon Brown stated "It is quite new in the dimensions, it is quite new in also the imagination I think we have in combining the environment and the gains we can make in the environment with housing." This gives a clear indication to the industry that there is support for eco-friendly and cost effective housing and provides strong encouragement for developers to create innovative eco-friendly designs by using renewable resources.

“Ensuring more efficient and careful use of building materials has an added bonus within construction as the action reduces costs” says Stephen Prior from Forest Carbon. “New buildings offer the opportunity to improve materials and designs using sustainably grown timber frames and walls that are more environmentally friendly and in many cases are classed as carbon neutral in comparison to modern materials. The construction industry, perhaps more than any other, is well placed to take the lead on playing an influential role in reducing the causes of climate change, both through its own actions and through the influence it can bring to building designers and clients. He added that “Carbon off-setting has major role to play, with construction companies exploring the off-set market to find schemes that match their objectives and business model.”

At Obelisk International we pride ourselves on the way we conduct our business, in an environmentally responsible manner. As a direct consequence of our unique approach to a Global Industry, Obelisk International’s operational procedures enable us to reduce our emissions and more importantly the impact on the environment. Obelisk International believes that this environmentally responsible model sets the standard and includes:

Obelisk International is proud to be involved in a unique opportunity in Bulgaria known as Seven Lakes. The development provides clients with an excellent investment that also uses eco-friendly construction methods. The developers of Seven Lakes have worked in conjunction with The CarbonNeutral Company to offset emissions caused by construction and to bring a balance between convergence and contraction of Co2 gases. All of the major material for this development is locally sourced to avoid extensive shipping and transportation costs and to drastically reduce the pollution caused by long distance, fuel consuming travel.

The Seven Lakes development is situated within the breathtaking Rila Mountain range with one of the finest ski resorts and Golf Club & Spa in Bulgaria. The golf club features the first Nicklaus Design course in South East Europe and will meet the standards of both the PGA and Royal St Andrews. The facilities will include an 18 hole course, a practice range with six short par 3 holes and a short 9 game area, a clubhouse with restaurant, member’s room, pro shop, general store and a spa centre. There are also a provision for shopping centres and restaurants to be built within the surrounding area.

In line with Obelisk International’s unparalleled commitment to quality and excellent returns, Seven Lakes demonstrates exceptional quality and eco-friendly standards whilst being an astute, secure and viable property investment. The Rila Mountain area boasts a vast array of tourism all year round and as such will provide a consistent, high value rental income. In addition to external tourism, the capital of Sofia generates prolific internal tourism to the area and will capture the high end, luxury holiday market. This extraordinary opportunity will encompass dependable growth with the added assurance of a minimal impact on the environment.
