There are so many statistics about #pipe #freeze: a leading cause of #insurance claims, one of the biggest source of #claim #resources… With winters getting more severe, re-insurers have to #increase their rates, which gets passed to #insurance companies and, ultimately, to their #customers. From the Urban Land Institute's (#ULI) 2024 Emerging Trends in Real Estate, “rising insurance costs and their implication for property owners and tenants are catalyzing an urgent reevaluations of strategies” What kind of #strategies can you #implement to reevaluate your strategies to #lower your #insurance costs? hmmm… we can suggest of one ??!

#Sustainability and the #bottomline are very closely linked. Here are some things that can be done to add value to #building owners’ bottom lines: 1. migrate lights to #LED: upfront cost is high, payoff is quick and functional life is long 2. evaluate service contracts (electricity, tel/data, waste removal, etc…) 3. install Salamanders ?? “If you’re focused on the bottom line, you have no choice but to be concerned about #environmental #sustainability. To be competitive, you have to operate efficiently. #Realestate is a long-term #business and #investment class, and sustainability is about taking long term impacts and costs into account.” -Nicholas Stolatis, #property #manager. as seen in CREATE by #NAR, “How Green Pays Off: Weighing new regulations and tax incentives, many pros say sustainable practices can be worth the investment” (Summer, 2024).

In #Buildings Magazine (2Q24), we learned about an agency called WiredScore which was founded in 2013 that certifies #commercial #realestate #properties based upon their ‘#connected’ score by four primary categories: 1) #Mobile & #Internet: outstanding #connectivity in place to occupiers throughout a building 2) Setup: People can connect to the internet quickly and easily (i.e. hassle-free) 3) #Future-Ready: The building can accommodate new and emerging #technologies to meet the requirements of occupiers well into the future 4) #Resiliency: the building is resilient against outages, cyber attacks or climate change. We love that users can connect to the internet easily, but who is paying attention to ensuring its #life #safety systems are working as designed. Why are #lifesafety and #sprinklersystem #maintenance so often an after-thought to these trendy lists? GetSalamander.com #boma #nfpa #propertymanagers

#Office markets are usually measured by one of two metrics: #occupancy rates or #vacancy rates. Expressed in percentages, #occupancyrate (usually the #optimistic take) measures how full a building is; #vacancyrate (usually the #negative take) measures how #vacant the building is. From a recent issue (2Q'24) of Buildings magazine from BOMA International, “‘The perfect storm of #higher #costs and #lower #revenue will end up eliminating a third of the supply of office space,’ predicts author Kurt Von Koch.” #highercosts, #lowerrevenue. Decreasing occupancy rates, increasing vacancy rates. As factors ebb and flow, buildings remain caught in limbo, and it’s more important than ever to #lower #risk of #ownership which helps to control costs. Salamander Reservoir (JTJ Tech, LLC) can help to #savemoney and #lowerrisk for buildings going through both sides of the ebb and flow… reach out to find out how we can help! #nfmt #commercialrealestate #propertymanagement

"Go for a walk..." was the advice given by Woody Ratterman, Managing Partner at CSL Management, LLC to property managers at the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity Housing Corporation summit. It is probably the most concise advice we could give to #propertymanagers, both to regularly inspect their buildings, and to also get away from behind a screen or desk. It’s amazing what some #fresh #air – and a #fresh #perspective – can bring.

#Office #Vacancy Rates like ?????? “Per Forbes (July 2023), “The biggest areas of #vacant #office #space in #America can be found among #NewYorkCity: Occupancy Rate (80.5%), decline in occupancy since 2020: -8%, workers going into the office -51.6% #Chicago: Occupancy Rate (73.9%); decline in occupancy since 2020: -10%; workers going in to the office -49.2%" these statistics have huge #negativeimpacts on #urban areas. And, those vacant office spaces need to have #protected pipes… fuhgeddaboudit! Good thing we know a guy… and a #salamander! #BOMA #NFMT #PropertyOwners #CommercialRealEstate #propertyManagement
