Advance Realty Group Launches Next Phase of Energy and Sustainability Program

  • August 22, 2019

Company Contracts with GSH Group for Energy Management Services at Properties in New Jersey and Maryland

Advance Realty Group, a leading Northeast U.S. owner and developer of Class A office properties, today reaffirmed its industry leadership position by launching an energy conservation program that should lead to annual savings of 5 to 17 percent in energy consumption and an enhanced tenant experience.

To initiate the program, the company has hired GSH Group, an international provider of facilities and energy management solutions, to ensure the efficient operation of building equipment and systems through a comprehensive preventative maintenance program. GSH Group will initially work with the following buildings within Advance’s 4.5 million-square-foot portfolio:

One Gateway Center, Newark, N.J. (mixed-use urban high-rise office building)

1400-1430 and 1545 Route 206, Bedminster, N.J. (four suburban office buildings)

Metro East Business Campus, Landover, Md. (nine suburban office buildings)

“In reviewing our portfolio and speaking with tenants, we determined that a formal energy conservation program would provide superior benefits to Advance, our tenants and the overall environment,” said Kurt R. Padavano, COO of Advance Realty Group. “The GSH Group has a long standing history of providing facilities and energy management solutions to worldwide organizations. That experience and expertise will provide significant savings throughout the buildings that are part of this program rollout.”

Within this program, the GSH Group will evaluate all building systems and perform an analysis to formally assess needs, deficiencies and other energy related issues before making recommendations to Advance Realty. In addition to the energy savings and enhanced tenant experience, other expected program benefits include:

Increase productivity of site teams – GSH has developed sophisticated planning methods to maximize the productive utilization of the contract-dedicated staff

Better equipment reliability – equipment downtime will be reduced through increased staff training on troubleshooting techniques, and increased preventative maintenance

Increased tenant satisfaction through better comfort conditions, and enhanced service levels

Implementation of a fully computerized maintenance management system (CMMS)

Advanced training programs that will result in:

Reduced job time and overtime

Reduced need for supplemental labor or subcontractors

“While these various benefits only touch the surface of what Advance Realty will receive from GSH Group, the real top line benefits will be an enhanced tenant experience and an overall reduction in energy consumption,” said Jamie Reynolds, president of the GSH Group. “Overall, Advance Realty Group’s energy conservation program will make a meaningful impact on many fronts.”
