Revitalizing Income and Accountability for a 108,812 SF Industrial Property

Industrial Property

Background

An industrial property totaling 108,812 SF had been self-managed for over 30 years. Over time, a lack of systematic financial oversight led to significant challenges, including the failure to reconcile NNN (Triple Net) expenses for more than a decade. Additionally, tenant repairs and maintenance costs were not being fully recouped, resulting in reduced operational income.

Challenges

  1. Prolonged Lack of NNN Reconciliation: The absence of regular reconciliation caused a backlog of unpaid expenses that the tenants were contractually obligated to cover.
  2. Under-Recovered Expenses: Repairs and maintenance costs that should have been passed through to tenants were absorbed by the property owner, further impacting profitability.
  3. Tenant Retention Concerns: Implementing overdue reconciliations and expense adjustments could potentially disrupt tenant relationships and jeopardize retention.

Strategy & Execution

  • Conducted a detailed financial audit of historical NNN charges.
  • Reconciled outstanding NNN expenses over the 10+ year period to identify recoverable amounts.
  • Implemented a tenant communication strategy to clarify obligations while maintaining goodwill.
  • Updated systems to ensure timely and accurate reconciliation of NNN expenses moving forward.

Results

  • Recovered Unpaid Expenses: Successfully reconciled NNN charges, recovering $117,778 in previously unpaid expenses.
  • Increased Property Income: Streamlined management and recouped costs resulted in a significant income increase of over $300,000 annually.
  • Tenant Retention Secured: Despite implementing overdue adjustments, all tenants were retained, preserving long-term stability.

Conclusion

This case highlights the importance of proactive financial management in maximizing property value. By addressing long-standing issues, the property owner not only recovered lost revenue but also positioned the asset for sustainable growth while maintaining strong tenant relationships.
