A California-based Real Estate Agency was interested in finding the best use of their capital improvement fund that could breathe some fresh air into their well-established portfolio of commercial properties. With the real estate market always being hyper-competitive, this firm was looking for a way to make their properties stand out from the masses and increase in value while reducing the overall operating expenses.

Looking for a forward-thinking, environmentally driven partnership, this agency reached out to STS due to their extensive work with similar types of portfolios. To date, STS has completed numerous energy conservation measures (ECMs) across the entire real estate portfolio. The STS strategy based on their all-encompassing experience has proven that the upfront investment and implementation of energy-conscious practices have yielded a higher rate of return.
