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 25 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.
