Using Electric Vehicle Charging Stations to Supercharge Property Appeal. How commercial real estate leader Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) used SemaConnect Electric Vehicle Charging Stations to cement and build on Miami’s Southeast Financial Center’s premiere status as “one of the most highly sought after office buildings in the area.” Project Brief Needs Attract, retain & meet needs of high-value tenants acquiring electric vehicles Boost image of building as leader in sustainability Include forward-looking, innovative amenities during property renovation Solution Turnkey offering including SemaConnect single pedestal charging stations, set- up, servicing, and managing transactions over open architecture platform. Results “It has worked out great for JLL! SemaConnect had obviously done this before, were well-versed on the questions and challenges we’d face, and had everything ready to go.” – Jay Leone, Vice President, JLL The Need In 2014, then-owners J.P. Morgan Asset Management undertook an $8.15 million renovation of Southeast Financial Center. “As one of Miami’s landmark buildings, we are constantly seeking new ways to enhance the tenant experience and continue to set benchmarks for Class A office space in Miami,” explains Jay Leone, Vice President, Group Manager with JLL, the exclusive management and leasing agent for the property. JLL’s goal for the property: retain and advance its status as “one of the most highly sought-after office buildings in the area.” Being one of the most forward-thinking players in commercial real estate, JLL decided to add one of the most cutting-edge amenities available to keep Southeast Financial Center at the top of its market: electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. However, as Darlene Pope, Senior Vice President for Energy and Sustainability Services (ESS) at JLL, writes: “Navigating the ins-and-outs of EV charging station selection, installation, and management can be a tricky business.” The Solution: Enter SemaConnect In less than two months from purchase to up- and-running, SemaConnect provided a full turnkey solution: SemaConnect 620 Electric Vehicle Charging stations mounted on single pedestals. Because Southeast Financial Center wanted the charging stations, but did not want to get into the business of charging stations, SemaConnect help set up the stations online – including access policy, the pricing plan, usage reports, and managing the drivers and all aspects of the program (invoicing, collections, credit cards). In this case, the program is (optionally) set up not to charge residents. Better yet, because SemaConnect offers the market’s most open architecture platform, no membership is required to initiate a charging session. Residents can use the SemaConnect App and Charge Pass, or PlugShare, EVgo, ChargeHub, and other driver programs to charge their vehicles. Meanwhile, a cloud- based dashboard offers property management all the information they need to see station performance in real-time and to monitor usage and create useful transaction reports.
