EFFECTIVE LANDSCAPE ASSET MANAGEMENT WILL MAXIMISE YOUR RETURN ON INVESTMENT. Being Proactive will Protect Your Capital investment Property rental yields, occupancy rates and perceived value are enhanced by healthy, thriving interior/exterior landscapes. The returns on investment in an effective landscape management program are around 5:1. The value proposition for all businesses is to focus on unique ways in which quality of life is improved for employees, tenants and customers. The key aspects common to all, are health and wellbeing, environmental amenities and economic paybacks. Incorporating green plants contributes to these real, practical business benefits, whether you’re designing a new building, retrofitting an existing building, or managing shopping centres,
Effective Landscape asset management will optimize your portfolio and de risk your investment
80% of commercial landscape installations are performing below par, many at risk of complete failure, with negative impact on corporate image, reputation and economic consequences. Replacing plants can be a costly and frustrating exercise, in some cases in our experience, more than doubling the initial cost. Typical operating cost for commercial landscapes run at between 15-‐30% of initial landscape outlays annually. Over 50% of all landscape installations require plant replacements within 12 months due to poor plant selection, incorrect environment setting and lack of care expertise to identify plant health issues early. Studies by the Property Council show that commercial properties with only 10% of total assets dedicated to living plant landscapes have higher occupancy rate and higher rental yields than surrounding and comparable properties. Given the 6 star energy rating and green building initiatives, investment in living plant designs will only increase. Improving the working environment leads to better work performance, fewer errors, and lower absenteeism. It is crucial to implement an effective landscape management program to both protect and optimize your landscape assets.
