NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Sentinel Real Estate Fund (SREF) has earned a 5-Star GRESB Rating and ranked #1 among 139 residential real estate entities across the Americas, as well as #1 among 42 funds in our US core multifamily peer group, in the 2026 GRESB Real Estate Benchmark. SREF achieved an overall score of 91.6 out of 100, an improvement of 2.3 points from the previous year. The GRESB Benchmark provides insight into relative performance across areas such as management practices and property-level sustainability performance, including energy, greenhouse gas emissions, water, waste and other sustainability indicators.

“This recognition reflects years of disciplined execution and continuous improvement across our portfolio,” said Michael Streicker, President & CEO of Sentinel Real Estate. “Achieving a 5-Star Rating and ranking 1^st among the Residential / Americas cohort of 139 entities, as well as among our core US multifamily peer group, underscores the strength of our sustainability platform and our commitment to integrating ESG considerations throughout the investment lifecycle. We are proud of what our teams have accomplished and remain focused on creating long-term value for investors while enhancing our communities.”

SREF’s results during the reporting period were supported by strong portfolio-wide performance across 39 multifamily communities comprising more than 17 million square feet. All 39 properties participated in ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager and overall the portfolio achieved 99% data coverage for energy use and greenhouse gas emissions and 100% coverage for water and waste. On a like-for-like basis, whole-building greenhouse gas emissions declined by 3.7%.

Beyond environmental performance, the assessment recognized SREF's strengths in resident and community engagement, governance and risk management. Resident engagement is also a pillar in SREF’s sustainability efforts, from practical resources for sustainable living to community events and local charitable partnerships. These initiatives engage residents in strengthening their communities while advancing Sentinel’s environmental goals and commitment to a positive living experience.

SREF achieved perfect scores across numerous categories, including leadership, stakeholder engagement and tenant and community initiatives. Those results contributed to SREF's top rankings and reinforces the role that disciplined stewardship, operational excellence and resident-focused management play in creating long-term value for investors.
