| Abstract: | Rapid urbanization in Addis Ababa has led to an unprecedented demand for housing and
commercial spaces, presenting both opportunities and challenges in real estate development. This
study explores the integration of Sustainable Building Technologies (SBTs) within Public-Private
Partnership (PPP) real estate projects, using the Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) framework to
address sustainability goals. SBTs, such as energy-efficient systems and water conservation
techniques, are essential for reducing environmental impacts and aligning with global
sustainability targets, including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The research adopts a mixed method study approach, analyzing PPP real estate projects in Addis
Ababa specifically housing complexes built by developers including Midroc Investment Group,
Ovid Group, Flintstone Homes, Eniy Construction, and Gift Real Estate.
The research mainly focuses on to assess the role of IPD in the integration of Sustainable Building
Technologies and enhancing collaboration, overcoming implementation challenges, and
achieving critical success factors (CSFs). Data is collected through questionnaire from key
stakeholders, including developers, government officials, and sustainability experts. The findings
underscore the potential of IPD to streamline stakeholder collaboration, mitigate risks, and
effectively integrate SBTs, despite existing barriers such as financial constraints and regulatory
challenges.
This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on sustainable urban development by
integrating building technologies with the application of IPD in PPP projects. It provides practical
recommendations for policymakers and practitioners, aiming to enhance the delivery of
sustainable real estate solutions in Addis Ababa and other developing urban contexts. |
