INNOVATIVE METHODS FOR IMPROVING NOI AND ASSET VALUE IN CHALLENGING TIMES
In this economic era, maximizing available income sources and minimizing operating expenses for developers, owners, and tenants are paramount. This panel will discuss new ways to enhance asset value through operating improvements, cost controls, and ancillary income generators. Ideas to be covered will include new “green” sustainability and energy conservation programs, new and efficient construction and retrofitting technologies, and cost-efficient traffic circulation and parking methodologies. As part of the discussion, the panel will provide methods for quantifying savings for developers, owners, and lenders.
