Asset Management Support
Engineering and construction services for owned assets.
Since 1998, Pond Robinson & Associates has supported asset managers, landlord / tenant representatives, law firms, and property managers by providing quality assessments, services, and capital expenditure planning for owned or managed assets.
Asset Management Support & Assessments
Proactive real estate management practices often require periodic assessments so that the owner or manager can accurately determine the financial implications or risks related to deferred maintenance items, capital projects, recommended upgrades, or unrepaired deficiencies. We provide high-quality assessments and services conducted by experienced professionals with a broad knowledge of building systems.
Owned & Managed Asset Services Overview
- Periodic Condition & Capital Planning Assessments: Periodic assessment to understand condition of asset and capex planning requirements. Typically done every 2-5 years for owned-assets or before/after major renovations or planned tenant improvement projects.
- Disposition or Recapitalization Preparation: Assessments to understand condition of assets, prior to disposition or recapitalization. Optimize value and limit exposure during transactions.
- Building Optimization Projects: PR&A focuses on enhancing the resilience and performance of buildings through targeted optimization projects. This includes structural and infrastructure enhancements as well as energy and utility efficiency measure implementation.
- Lease Obligation Review: Compare assessment findings to lease obligations for maintenance and repairs. Ensure tenant improvements and maintenance are aligned with lease provisions and Owner expectations.
- Vacancy Capital Planning: A focus on the lease turn over requirements, capital needs of the building, and maintenance and repair expenses that would be transferred to the Owner from the tenant at the conclusion of the lease.
