How to Think About Tenant Service Levels in Mixed-Use Commercial Buildings
Mixed-use buildings become harder to manage when different tenants expect the same property to behave like completely different asset classes.
Management Brief
Service levels need to be clear enough that no user type feels ignored and no expectation is being guessed at in real time.
Commercial users, office tenants, and residential components can interpret the same issue differently. Managers create value by owning the coordination instead of letting those expectations collide.
