US Real Estate Heading to Detox
April 1, 2009- As much as $2 trillion of real estate may be undervalued due to the presence of environmental contamination. The National Brownfield Association (NBA) says environmental hazards are estimated to be present in 20 to 50 percent of all industrial real estate properties.
