Attracting and retaining tenants is crucial for a mixed estate / mixed use development.  The requirements of tenants in a mixed estate will also vary depending on the type of business operated.  In our experience one typically finds the following in a mixed estate: Branch Offices of large enterprises, Hospitality (hotels, bed & breakfast facilities etc.), Retail Shops, Healthcare (hospitals, clinics etc.), Residential accommodation and various Small to Medium Enterprises (SME’s) spanning various industries. 

 

The large geographic spread of a mixed estate as well as the number of industries represented by the tenants also places pressure on the management of the estate as well as shared services in the estate.  The Pivotel solutions for mixed estates therefore focuses on making life easier for tenants, enables shared services and eases the management of the estate.   

 

Whether you are part of a national enterprise with a branch office in the estate or an individual SME (Small to Medium Enterprise) renting a facility in the estate, our solutions for mixed estates aims to bring the benefits of a fully connected and internet connected estate to you and to make the management of the mixed estate easier and more tenant friendly.
