Garage Unlimited of Monterey was mentioned in The Wall Street Journal!
“Gourmet kitchens. Indoor basketball courts. The newest place for luxury amenities isn’t at your home: It is in your storage unit.
As the top end of the real-estate market boomed in many cities, a parallel market for high-end storage appeared as well… In California, Garage Unlimited of Monterey is targeting car collectors with its 46 units, each with a mezzanine.”
Flying in the Face of a Proposed FAA DirectiveOwners searching for places to store vintage and collector cars, race or high-performance track cars, or exotics have explored almost every option. Once you run short of space in your or your friends’ garages, and have checked into the nearest self-storage facilities (which really aren’t an ideal option in any case), what do you do? For some, the sky’s the limit in their efforts — and that has led them to airport hangar space.
Car Storage at Santa Monica AirportThe general aviation airport in Santa Monica is an excellent example of this. Located just two miles from the sun-drenched Southern California coast — and within easy driving distance of exclusive neighborhoods such as Bel Air, Beverly Hills, Malibu, Manhattan Beach, Pacific Palisades, and of course, Santa Monica itself — the airport attracts people with valuable car collections or who are motorsports enthusiasts. The airport rents excess hangar space to car owners to store their cars securely and out of the elements. Santa Monica Airport has even made hangar space available to use for anything from corporate events, shows and concerts to movie shoots. Holding for Clearance in MontereyUnfortunately, car owners on the Monterey Peninsula may soon have fewer options at federally regulated Monterey Regional Airport. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a directive that would make it difficult, if not impossible, to get hangar space approved for long-term car storage. Although the policy has not yet been made law, Homeland Security concerns make it likely to pass at some point. The FAA’s primary issue is that hangar owners might see the storage of vehicles and household and business items as a more lucrative opportunity than using hangar space exclusively for aircraft storage. They believe that if aircraft are kept in hangars, they will be better maintained and therefore safer. So, on the Monterey Peninsula, owners thinking they can find repurposed hangar space in which to store their cars are likely to be disappointed. |

Household or commercial property management is often described as rental administration. The economic global markets are shuffling but the need of commercial property managers would always stay as a necessity. While the market is big and potentially stable, have a look on these 5 essentials for a more successful commercial property management.
An attractive physical infrastructure of a company is important to motivate employees and present a constructive and positive image of the company to its clients. This is the reason that commercial renovation industry has increased by 3.3% since 2010. All these benefits have necessitated property management in commercial markets.
For outstanding maintenance, your priority areas of focus include signage, landscaping, glass, roofing and parking area. The furnishings and plumbing equipments should be fully functional. Remember that most of the companies prefer paying handsome amounts for qualitative commercial maintenance.
From the latest alarm system to the placement of LCDs, displaying your 3D projects is one of the best ways to impress your clients. Such regular upgrading practices also help you manage the renovation costs and find compact solutions for making the best use of internal and external space. Regular maintenance also makes budget-management easier for the corporations.
The commercial sector is moving to smart buildings. You need to make sure that the companies of your clients are not lagging behind their competitors. Instead of creating internet free zones, think about installing faster internet connection so that the customers can freely do research in the meeting rooms as well. Your clients can get higher premiums and attract more customers by installing the latest technology before their competitors.
A new password to unlock the code of commercial property management is transforming the buildings into eco-friendly structures. LEED-rated projects are commercial design and construction projects that involve installation of energy-efficient equipments, reducing the operational costs. Green buildings also make use of energy-efficient materials like photovoltaic glass for construction replacement. A photovoltaic glass has solar cells embedded in it.
Green buildings are highly cost-effective for organizations, making the career of commercial property managers a win-win.
You may have many profitable ideas in your mind but those ideas may not relate with priorities and business goals of your customer. An uninterrupted two-way communication is necessary to make sure that you not only explain the benefits of your ideas to the client but you also understand their needs and requirements.
Effective and free communication with the workers is equally important so that you can make the best use of their skills in every project.
As a commercial property manager, you need to make sure that your services are properly paid off. Some companies also want their commercial property managers to take care of the rentals. If rentals are not included in your services, then make sure to inform your customers beforehand, or include a clause in the contract if needed.
Contact Borelli Investment Company to discuss your commercial property management needs. We look forward to creating a proposal for your buildings. Call us at 408-453-4700 or fill out our web form.
Commercial remodeling projects are not only budgetary but these are also hectic and daunting. Considering office renovation is like preparing to sign a business deal that may or may not end up well. For making office renovation profitable, you need expert’s advice as well as an understanding of how office remodeling can turn into a moneymaking business for good.
IT professionals want to work in organizations like Facebook and Google not only because of their services in IT but also because of their work environment. Google attracted more talent from all around the world after the release of ‘The Internship’. If you already use social media content marketing and social media recruitment techniques, then you can easily attract new hires with photos of your remodeled office.
Perception and first impression are the strongest power-players in a business deal. Your customers choose you above other businesses because they conceive your business to be ‘more premium’ and ‘efficient’ than others. Office remodeling completely changes the perception of your business in customer’s mindset. For the first-time buyers, a perfect professional environment is all you need to win at least 50% of the contract.
A majority of the companies include gym, gaming zone, and fresh colors for office renovation. These remodeling steps are not for making office ‘a fun place’ but to affect employee psychologies and motivate the employees for more productivity. For example, neutral gray and white offices are now considered boring. Similarly, cubicles take more space in offices and decrease intra-organizational communication. Open space office desks reflect modern and more productive organizational infrastructure.
If you are considering hiring new employees in your company or add up a department of IT or maintenance but lack enough space at workplace, then office remodeling has good solutions for you. For example, open space offices can easily make room for three to eight extra employees on a floor.
Office remodeling is one of the most modern keys for employee and customer retention. It not only reduces new hire and training costs but also makes it easier for you to negotiate with your customers.
Commercial companies like grocery item manufacturing companies use office remodeling as a tool to attract new customers. For example, if company A manufactures soft drinks, then the company may associate the concept of ‘Employee Care’ with their in-house services. Similarly, a women’s magazine may include gym and spa in office remodeling project and associate it with ‘Fit Women’ or ‘Women Power’ for corporate effectiveness.
The commercial property remodeling industry has increased by 3.3% and earned revenue of $59bn from 2010 to 2015, according to IBIS World. The report further reveals that high consumer spending on office remodeling, decrement in office rental vacancies, and bigger corporate profits will lead to robust increment in the industry of commercial office remodeling.

Commercial interior designing is trickier than home remodeling. The focus of home renovation is on customer choices, preferences, and personality. However, the focus of commercial property remodeling is primarily on the business goals.
Some common trends are predicted to rule the sky of commercial property designing and remodeling. Have a look on the most popular commercial property design trends in 2016.
White is no longer an ideal color for commercial properties. However, you can make combinations of white with catchy and bright colors like red and orange.
Many offices prefer wide French windows for extracting the benefits of nature for the employees. If you want to blend natural attraction with work environment, then low and cooling tones like beige and brown in textured and patterned tiles would be a good choice.
The corporate sector is all set to embrace the pressure of meeting environmental obligations. Many organizations have already converted into eco-friendly infrastructure and some organizations are already in the process.
Some important eco-friendly commercial property remodeling trends include more use of glass in external frames, placement of air-cleaning plants in corridors and offices, installation of solar energy panels, and reduction in energy-consuming equipments like replacement of desktop computers with laptops.
Installation of photovoltaic glass is also a primary commercial property design trend in 2016. A photovoltaic glass is future-seeking material incorporated with next generation solar cells that make a building self-sufficient in energy production.
Modern organizations encourage intra-organizational communication and believe in the power of corporate unity. Collaborative commercial designs improve the flow of constant communication and interaction and allow the commercial space to operate as transparent panels. Full-scale refurbishments are not necessary for transforming into collaborative designs. Just a few alterations like replacement of cubicles with attached workstations are enough.
The commercial real estate has taken quirky designing as a gift from home remodeling, which has now shifted to classic European designing. Quirky designing involves including any attractive theme or design in office space that may or may not match the overall theme. However, it needs right professional knowledge to blend quirky designs with overall commercial theme.
Installation of WiFi is just one of the obvious facilities in work environment. Smart buildings or intelligent buildings are emerging technology that has taken almost a quarter of the century to come into physical form. These futuristic designs include an automatic fire and security system with amazing ease of data sharing and transferring. The smart buildings comprise of three key components including hardware, software, and network.
The commercial real estate has become more flexible in recent years. Gym, spa, hotel, rest room, medical facility room, and other such facilities are not included in luxury corporate services in 2016.
The corporate sector has always talked about three key assets – cash, bonds, and stocks. Commercial real estate and office design is the fourth asset to demonstrate the capital sources, corporate transparency, and quality of services of an organization.
