The dominant perception in literature is that higher rental premium is the driving force or motivation for green agenda participation including embarking on office development with green certificates and label. Lagos is an emerging market with a reasonable number of office buildings with green features and very few with green label(certification). In light of the above background, this study is aimed at investigating the impact of green label on rent premiums of office developments in the study area. The study is based on both quantitative and qualitative investigation on the motive for preference for both labelled and non-labelled green building. It investigates differential in the rent premium in both classes of green buildings. Data was obtained from developers, property managers and occupiers with leasing decision power. Findings from the study are considered useful for real estate developers particularly the commercial office development submarket.
