In honor of the Sochi Winter Olympics, ATS Inc. would like
to recognize these landlords for their Gold Medal performance in the industry!
Bronze Medal:
Shorenstein Building Management Company
In 2010, Shorenstein sought to reduce operating costs
through energy efficiency measures.
How did they do it? By implementing several programs to raise consumption
awareness among tenants. Some tactics included turning down lights during
non-peak business hours and flipping off key building functions on Saturday’s. The company was able to trim $1.7 million off
of their expenses for the year, and they also curbed their carbon monoxide
emissions by 4,800 metric tons annually.
Silver Medal: Preservation
Development Partners
This company recently purchased an affordable housing
complex in the Bronx,
and plans to keep the units accessible to low-income residents for at least
another twenty years.
The building is houses 252 units, which will remain at a
reduced-rate of 30% of residents income. The new owners are planning to spend
about $35,000 per unit in renovation costs, and are now being praised for
having the “tenants best interests at heart.”
Gold Medal: Willow
Tufano
At the tender age of 14 Willow became a landlord in Florida.
Willow now owns two properties at the age of 16, and was
recently featured in a film that promotes alternatives to public schools.
Kudos to Willow on being one amazing real estate investor!
