A Layered Approach to Office Building and Property Management
Creating, implementing and maintaining a strong and dynamic security program for commercial real estate owners and property managers presents unique challenges in today’s ever-changing business environment. One challenge is created as a result of how quickly office buildings change hands.
Often times, real estate transactions have resulted in a change of the third party property management companies which are responsible for leasing and managing operations of the building. With a new property management company comes a new business model and a different approach to security and life safety. Some property management companies prefer to transfer the risk to insurance companies and provide minimum levels of security. This approach in and of itself presents another unique challenge of trying to provide more while operating with less. Other property management companies who are responsible for Class A properties understand the value of a strong security program and commit the financial resources to make it happen.
