This paper aims to outline key principles for addressing potential risks associated with the economic stranding of real estate assets.

The topic of asset stranding in real estate has been gaining attention, fueled in part by the concept of "carbon stranding" introduced by the Carbon Risk in Real Estate Monitor (CRREM). Beyond carbon-related risks, other types of asset obsolescence are also impacting property values significantly. These combined risks are raising important questions about the broader issue of asset stranding.

In this paper, we delve into the various risks that could lead to asset stranding and provide actionable insights for fund managers on how to mitigate these threats effectively.
