The renewable energy question for the commercial property sector.

Commercial real estate is under pressure on energy from three directions at once. Tenants increasingly demand low-carbon space. Lenders are pricing climate risk into refinancing terms. And regulation, from MEES to TCFD-aligned reporting, makes the cost of inaction visible on the balance sheet.

Arc works with property funds, REITs, and direct asset owners to develop renewable energy strategies that genuinely fit the asset base. We assess buildings on their merits, structure investment around real commercial outcomes, and manage delivery and long-term performance for the asset owner, not for the contractor or the funder.

The work is built around the operational realities of commercial property: shared landlord and tenant interests, complex lease structures, planned major works, and the institutional reporting framework the owner sits within.
where arc fits

Engagement types we see most in this sector.

Portfolio renewable energy strategy
Estate-wide assessment of where solar, battery storage, and grid upgrades fit across the portfolio. Phased deployment plans tied to lease events and capex cycles.
Asset-level feasibility
Site-specific feasibility studies for individual buildings entering capex planning or undergoing major refurbishment. Investor-literate business cases.
Owner's representative on delivery
Independent oversight of EPC procurement and construction. Programme, design, and commissioning managed on the property owner's side of the contract.
Operational asset management
Performance monitoring, contractor management, and GRESB-grade reporting on operating renewable assets within the portfolio.
Acquisition technical due diligence
Technical review of renewable energy assets on acquisition targets. Risks priced before the deal closes, not after.
Net Zero strategy & reporting
Scope 2 modelling, REC procurement strategy, and BDO-grade documentation packs for the property fund's annual reporting cycle.

Case studies from this sector.

Commercial solar PV

Rooftop solar for a coworking space

The operator runs the building as flexible coworking space in Brixton. The brief was to reduce the building’s grid-imported electricity and support the operator’s sustainability position, using the available flat roof, without disrupting tenants and without compromising the roof’s waterproofing.
  • Location: Brixton, London
Solar PV asset monitoring

One transparent view across a rooftop solar portfolio

The client operates rooftop solar across a national estate of distribution and logistics sites, built out over several years and across several operating businesses. Each tranche had been installed with whichever inverter manufacturer suited the project at the time
  • Sector: Logistics and distribution
See all clients we work with
Arc has advised commercial property clients across institutional landlords, REITs, and private property companies. The brief differs, the asset base differs, the governance differs. The discipline does not. Independent fee-paid consultancy, professional standards framework, investor-literate deliverables.
