For commercial real estate developers and investors, the potential for environmental contamination is a fact of life. The uncertainty of environmental liability and cost overruns on cleanup for known contamination at a site can cause investors to shy away from potentially profitable opportunities. Unknown contamination at a site that is discovered during development can derail or delay a project for months resulting in financial loss.

Owners and managers of commercial real estate portfolios are not immune either. With space leased to a variety of operations that generate harmful waste, such as medical, dry cleaning, photo developing, automobile and printing, the potential for improper release or disposal exists. Even with the best intentions and operational guidelines, inadequate housekeeping or waste management by workers or occupants poses a potential threat.
