Building Engines CRE Property Management Platform

Trends in the broader economy can have a large impact on the commercial real estate sector. Shifts in production levels in the manufacturing industry may contribute to the need for additional space or warehouses may close based on declining sales in certain regions. It’s like an economic butterfly effect.

In some cases, economic changes may create new opportunities for building managers who know where to look. The Houston Business Journal notes that the strengthening retail industry is generating a lot of activity for commercial developers. They state that the value of building permits issued by the city in April is four times higher than what was issued during the same month last year.

Understanding how various economic elements influence tenants can help property managers:

  • create better partnerships.
  • plan strategies for maximizing facility space and reducing operating costs.
  • let tenants focus on capturing more sales from a growing audience which will increase their overall satisfaction.

Data management tools can help building managers deliver greater value for clients in any economy.
