GWL Realty Advisors: Diversity of Clients, Diversity of Security Needs

One of Smith’s basic assignments is to conduct successful tenant negotiations with emphasis on specific security, life safety and technology needs. “In managing the facility with different tenants, we take a layered approach,” Smith says. A first security layer starts at the building’s property line. Around the building and in public places, doors have access controls with card readers; there are intrusion alarms and digital security video.

Then there is a mix of access controls for tenants. “That mix allows for tenants to get involved with our systems and provides more convenience for both of us.”
