Technology as an Investment Driver and Differentiator

We understand the key role technology has played in the transformation of the global economy. Technology drives down costs, improves the user experience, differentiates products and services, and ultimately delivers greater value to investors.

Our model model applies a suite of technological solutions to the properties we acquire in order to simultaneously reduce operating costs while improving the tenant experience. In commercial real estate, reducing operating costs is critical to enhancing ROI. Today, rising energy costs represent the largest expense in an office building’s operating mix. At the same time, and today more than ever, tenants value conservation and sustainability. Our platform reduces energy costs on average 20-25% percent through such technologies as:

• Building operation control systems
• Remote monitoring
• Property-specific operating data clouds

This unique technology-driven platform also improves the tenant experience by providing state-of-the-art Internet and communications solutions that offer plug and play simplicity for rapidly connecting to local, national and global markets.

The end result is that the platform enhances ROI by allowing smart, advanced technologies to reduce costs and improve the tenant experience, simultaneously spurring our internal rate of return while improving tenant acquisition, retention and leasing prices.
