Every facility decision starts with understanding your tenants. Who they are determines building class, which amenities matter, what rent you can charge, and service standards like one-call resolution and extended hours. These aren't soft choices but direct lines to revenue and asset value.

Chapters

Here's the frame I want you to leave this episode with. Every facility decision flows from the tenant profile. This isn't a soft point. It's a direct line from understanding who you're serving to every hard decision you make. What class to build? The tenant profiles tell you. What amenities to invest in first? The tenant tells you. Aaron rents before anything else because that's what they use. What rents can you charge and how far can you push them? The income and asset value profile tells you. Further than most operators realize. What does your service standard look like? The tenant's behavior tells you. One-call resolution, extended access hours, proactive communication.
