According to MSCI, insurance costs as a share of income have doubled in the last five years, significantly impacting net operating income. Markets like Orlando and Tampa—highly vulnerable to hurricanes—are seeing insurance costs reach 4.6% and 4.1% of income, respectively. What Can You Do as an Asset Holder? At AEI, we’re helping our clients prepare for pending insurance renewals by taking strategic steps: 📌 At the Portfolio Level: We assist in documenting and implementing risk management programs, integrating natural hazard risks into due diligence, and supporting capital planning to mitigate escalating costs. 📌 At the Property Level: We help you gather and track property-specific data, ensuring insurers have accurate, detailed information—rather than relying on worst-case default models—for a more precise risk assessment. Addressing building updates, water damage mitigation, and proper documentation positions your assets for better coverage and reduces the risk of costly non-renewals. Don’t let rising insurance costs erode your NOI. Contact AEI to secure better outcomes for your next renewal. #CommercialRealEstate #InsuranceCosts #RiskManagement #PropertyResilience #AssetProtection #NetOperatingIncome #PortfolioManagement #DueDiligence #CapitalPlanning

Not all properties are created equal when it comes to PFAS risk.   So, when is a Phase II necessary?   Consider this: 🔹 100,000 SF industrial printing facility 🔹 Operational from 1955-1989 🔹 Several floor drains within the facility (lead to sump and clarifiers) 🔹 Two clarifiers and one sump 🔹 NPDES records identify large-scale industrial wastewater discharges leading to an on-site dry well 🔹 NOT listed on the EPA ECHO database as a likely handler of PFAS 🔹 Known release of solvents did not include analysis of target PFAS 🚨 Conclusion: High Risk - A Phase Il or other mitigation measure (e.g., insurance) is required.   Navigating PFAS contamination risks is critical for property stakeholders. Our PFAS Risk Matrices offer a clear, structured approach to assess potential contamination risks based on likelihood of use, handling, and release pathways. 📖 Explore more examples and learn how our PFAS matrix works in our latest blog: https://lnkd.in/g_VKpzEh

📢 On December 9, 2024, the EPA finalized new risk management rules for trichloroethylene (TCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE), implementing stricter measures to enhance chemical safety and reduce exposure risks. These changes ban all uses of TCE and most uses of PCE, with stricter workplace protections for remaining applications. The rules aim to reduce risks associated with these toxic chemicals, which have been linked to cancer, organ damage, and more. For property stakeholders, these regulations underscore the importance of identifying and addressing contamination to ensure compliance and protect property value. At AEI, we specialize in: 🔹 Site remediation to address contamination 🔹 Regulatory compliance and oversight 🔹 Customized risk management solutions Reach out to learn how we can help you navigate these updates and safeguard your properties. #EnvironmentalConsulting #SiteRemediation #RegulatoryCompliance #ChemicalSafety #EPA #TCE #PCE
