THE LIABILITY
The Nimrod Complex faced a critical property management challenge: high energy costs were making the building less competitive in a crowded rental market.
With a ground-floor café operating from dawn to dusk and residential apartments above, rising electricity costs were directly impacting Net Operating Income (NOI) and limiting the owner's ability to attract premium tenants.
