It doesn’t matter whether you rent commercial properties to businesses or individuals. You can always enhance your property. It’s beneficial to the people renting out the space and to you. Not to mention, owning property and not tending to it sends a bad message. Here’s how to update and improve your commercial building.
Provide Parking
Is there anything better than a parking space located right next to your destination? A good parking space has become a luxury. There are more drivers now than ever and fewer places to station vehicles.
Space to park is a perk some people just can’t pass up. A parking lot says you care about their time and their vehicles. You save them time from circling the block, trying to find a spot. They can get in and out safely. Make sure you keep the lot looking nice. You shouldn’t just update it; you must perform routine parking lot maintenance.
Reinforce the Security
A better security system is crucial. Safety matters wherever you go. Reinforce your current system because only having a locked door isn’t going to cover it. Survey your property and note all the vulnerable areas.
These are all opportunities to improve the security of your building. Whatever security measures you decide to go with will depend on the purpose and function of your property. However, try not to spare any expense. Owning property is an investment, and protecting it is guarding your investment.
Go Green
Going green is an improvement all property owners need to include. Start off with an HVAC system in your building. HVAC systems will conserve energy and improve your air quality. You should also consider replacing the current system with a smart thermostat.
Smart thermostats learn the building’s patterns and adjust heating and cooling according to the activity of the people in the space. When the building is vacant, the temperatures will decrease to save energy and save you some money on the utility bill.
Add Amenities
Finally, adding some amenities to the property is always a nice touch. They don’t need to be extravagant, either. Simple things like a lounge area or pathway leading to a beautiful garden are always a treat. You can also think about adding a greenhouse to the roof. It’s an amenity and beneficial to the environment.
To keep with the theme of simplicity, consider providing free Wi-Fi in the lobby and lounge area or throughout the entire building. Free internet is always a treat people will be grateful for, even if they don’t say it. Just know the appreciation is real.
As you can see, all this can be quite helpful. So update and improve your commercial building in the most beneficial ways for your business.
