Asset managers are trained to look everywhere for hidden value, from operating expenses to tax strategy to lease renewals. But sometimes, the biggest opportunities hide in plain sight.
For one Texas-based property group, that blind spot was telecom.
The Cost Nobody Questions
Telecom expenses rarely make the top of a priority list. Compared to insurance or property taxes, the bills look small. But across dozens of sites, line items for internet, voice, and IT services quietly add up.
This asset manager assumed those costs were fixed until a review revealed more than $12,000 per month in waste.
When Efficiency Equals Value
The discovery mattered not just for the monthly budget, but for the portfolio’s overall worth. Eliminating unused services and restructuring contracts created over $3 million in enterprise value.
No new leases. No renovations. Just smarter expense management.
Hear It Directly
Instead of us telling the story, hear how the Director of Asset Management describes the experience:
Why Asset Managers Should Care
In today’s market, growth isn’t just about boosting occupancy, it’s about controlling the controllable. Telecom is one of the rare levers where:
- Savings are real and measurable.
- Execution doesn’t disrupt operations.
- The impact flows directly to enterprise value.
This case shows what’s possible when you question the costs most people ignore.
