A Suite of Capabilities
Our tools. Your success.
Operations Management
Lutz recognizes that each asset requires its own management strategy based on the property type, tenant mix and exit strategy. As a result, the plan focuses on improving efficiency, reducing costs, streamlining operations and increasing tenant retention in conjunction with a coordinated leasing/marketing program to properly address current market conditions and the property’s available space.
Our boutique-style allows for immediate, hands-on administration and guidance from our extremely skilled, experienced, and knowledgeable executive leadership team.
Our operations expertise, in conjunction with hiring highly-skilled local management, leasing and maintenance staff, allows us to provide tenants / residents with a single point of contact and to ensure prompt service. Our on-site staff understands the dynamics of real estate ownership, acting as the owner advocate and dedicating their focus to their respective properties.
Development & Asset Enhancement
Lutz has been very successful with a wide-range of build-to-suit, speculative, adaptive reuse and mixed-use projects, and specializes in the area of asset redevelopment and enhancements.
Our methodology behind asset enhancement includes items such as upgrades to property and the unit interiors, cosmetic improvements to the exteriors, and the ability to address all deferred maintenance issues to ensure the long-term ability for increased pricing capabilities and an expedited return on investment.
