Case Study: How We Saved a Building Investor $3 Million
The Problem: LEED Lease Violations by a Property Manager
In early 2008, Panatonni reached out to us to help with some issues. In brief, the company was getting bad service for the properties. Not only was their management company doing a poor job, but their facility management company was too. Surprisingly, these were publicly-traded companies. What’s worse, they were the nation’s largest property manager AND the largest facilities manager.
After seeing our reports, the owner began to make changes.
At that time, the facilities were 90% occupied. Also, the tenants were working on a lease clawback process. Specifically, they had issues with LEED provisions in their leases. On top of that, tenants had concerns about sustainability requirements. However, the management company wasn’t following any of these provisions. As a result, Panatonni was struggling.
In light of what we knew, did an audit of the properties. In short, we reviewed 300,000 SF of LEED facilities. After seeing our reports, the owner began to make changes. First of all, they got rid of the property manager and facility vendor. And they did this within 30 days. However, this left them without service providers.
The Solution: A Planned Return to LEED Lease Compliance
Without a property management team in place, the owner hired CXRE to help. Since we already knew the issues, we jumped right in and got started. In brief, the facilities needed to return to the original standards. On top of that, the owners wanted to interact more with tenants. For this reason, CXRE started a six-month process to make these changes.
First of all, we brought the facilities back up to LEED and EnergyStar standards. Also, we made sure that all the tenants followed LEED lease provisions. Once we did all this, Panatonni sold the assets to a different owner. All in all, CXRE managed the properties from 2008 to 2011.
In the end, we saved the owners both time and money over three years.
On one hand, we saved the owners’ about $450,000 in lease clawbacks. In short, we did this by lowering the tenants’ LEED lease claims. Also, we improved the facilities’ EnergyStar performance. At the same time, we created over $3,000,000 in asset value protection for the owners. In essence, we kept tenants satisfaction levels high. And on the whole, this led to more lease renewals. To sum up, CXRE improved the facilities and increased the owners’ overall benefits.
