The Boji Group and its owners
was formed in May of 1997 before it purchased the tallest
building in Lansing, Michigan formally known as the Michigan
National Tower. This structure encompasses 23 stories
with an excess of 250,000 square feet of class A office
space servicing both private firms as well as State of
Michigan Departments.
In today’s current real estate market, meticulous attention
must be paid to all aspects of property management. The Boji Group and its management
division have produced greater return on its investments through enhancing
revenue, operational efficiencies and expense control.
Our daily process begins with our property manager, Keith Kelly
and his team have over 100 years of combined experience
and are responsible for all aspects of building operations,
maintenance schedules, repair, replacement, and finally
augmentation and remodeling of existing space for our
tenants. Mr. Kelly alone has 20 years of experience
and is consider a valuable asset of the Management Team
for not only the Tower, but also other properties in
the Boji Group’s portfolio. Our current staff also
includes four general technicians who are all capable
of handling almost any maintenance problem. This again
increases the efficiency of the service we provide to
our tenants while lowering costs and lead times in addressing
our tenants’ requests.
As in all properties in the Boji Group portfolio, we take
specific pride in the appearance and condition of each property
under our control. Our management team is trained to handle
any management situation and is kept abreast of the latest
managerial techniques to maintain and enhance the value of
our properties. This is specifically evident in the Michigan
National Tower Building. After its purchase in May of 1998,
the Boji Group made specific capital investments and improvements,
which contributed to a greater profitability margin for its
owners. Along with aggressive marketing through CB Richard
Ellis Martin the Boji Group was also able to secure its current
tenant base as well as obtain new tenants in the building.
When all was said and done the appraised value of the building
rose substantially in only two short years. This is even more
significant considering the building in question is 75 years
old.
While most developers and property managers value their assets
in the manner of bricks and mortar, the Boji Group has always
considered its primary assets being the tenants who occupy
their buildings. With a tenant base of prominent firms such
as Standard Federal Bank, State of Michigan, General Motors,
Dykema Gosset, Fraser Trebilcock, Central Michigan University
and Senator Carl Levin, our overriding principal is to take
complete care of our tenants needs while providing a safe
and comfortable working environment. This philosophy alone
has translated into full or near full occupancy levels in
our properties.
