Multifamily Housing Green Buildings Market Report 2026

The multifamily housing green buildings market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $196.04 billion in 2025 to $235.86 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising adoption of sustainability standards, increasing green material availability, growth in residential retrofits, rising investment in multi-unit housing, expansion of eco-friendly construction practices.

The multifamily housing green buildings market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $488.16 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for net-zero housing, rising use of smart home energy systems, growing preference for low-carbon materials, expansion of green-certified residential projects, higher integration of renewable energy technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing construction of eco-friendly residential units, growth in green retrofitting projects, rising adoption of high-performance building materials, expansion of energy-efficient residential clusters, increasing focus on low-carbon building certification.

The rising investment in energy efficiency is anticipated to drive the growth of the multi-family residential green building market in the coming years. Energy efficiency involves utilizing less energy to achieve the same output or service, thereby minimizing energy waste. Multi-family residential green buildings enhance energy efficiency by incorporating sustainable construction techniques and materials to reduce energy usage in shared living spaces. For example, in November 2024, a report by the International Energy Agency, an independent intergovernmental organization based in France, stated that investments in energy-efficient buildings, transportation, and industrial sectors must rise significantly to align with the NZE Scenario. The report highlighted that current investments of USD 660 billion in 2024 would need to increase nearly threefold to approximately USD 1.9 trillion by 2030 to meet the targeted pathway. Consequently, the increased investment in energy efficiency is fueling the expansion of the multi-family residential green building market.

Leading companies in the multifamily housing green buildings sector are introducing advanced technologies, such as green transformation (GX), to improve sustainability, energy efficiency, and environmental performance in residential developments. Green transformation (GX) involves implementing sustainable practices, technologies, and innovations to reduce environmental impact and enhance energy efficiency. For example, in September 2024, Hitachi Ltd., a Japan-based multinational conglomerate, launched the BuilMirai Building IoT solution. This comprehensive platform is designed to optimize the management and operational efficiency of small and medium-sized buildings, emphasizing green building practices to align with global sustainability trends in construction and management. The company offers these solutions through monthly subscription plans, enabling customers to select services as needed, reducing investment costs while promoting both green transformation (GX) and digital transformation (DX) for small and medium-sized buildings. BuilMirai connects various building facilities and systems, fostering improved management and operational efficiency.

In October 2025, Measurabl, a US-based real estate sustainability software provider, formed a partnership with the Green Building Council of Australia to incorporate Green Star certification data into Measurabl’s global sustainability platform for real estate. This collaboration is intended to simplify sustainability reporting, improve ESG data management, and strengthen green-building performance across commercial and multifamily property portfolios. The Green Building Council of Australia is an organization headquartered in Australia that oversees and manages the Green Star rating system for environmentally sustainable buildings.
