Commercial Landlords
Network, access and tenant technology for office, retail and mixed-use landlords.
IT for commercial landlords: what makes it different
Commercial landlords compete on building quality: reliable connectivity, secure access and a smooth fit-out process. Technology gaps show up in vacancy and renewal rates. PropertyIT designs building networks, security systems and operating support around those realities, with senior oversight from Ali Sedighi, MBA. We are an IT services and consulting firm, not a reseller, and we apply a single operating model, scoped to your sector, across every client in the commercial landlords category.
First problems we solve
- Tenants asking for connectivity options the building cannot provide
- Riser and telecom room access handled ad hoc
- Base-building systems sharing networks with tenants
- Fit-outs delayed by carrier lead times
- Vacant suites with no standard technology spec
Obligations
- PIPEDA
- Lease and landlord-work obligations
- Fire and life-safety code requirements
- Insurer security standards
Typical systems
- BAS platforms
- Access control
- Carrier fibre
- Cisco Meraki
- Tenant portals
Where the exposure sits
The honest list for commercial landlords begins with the points that tenants asking for connectivity options the building cannot provide and that riser and telecom room access handled ad hoc. These matter because they sit between operational pressure and security risk: staff improvise, and the improvisations become permanent. Our assessment finds them quickly and gives your team a prioritised remediation plan, written in plain language.
An example scenario
A landlord prepares a vacant floor for lease. A standard network spec, pre-run cabling and a carrier lined up in advance let prospective tenants see a ready suite rather than a promise. This is an illustrative scenario, not a client case study. It shows the kind of outcome that follows from planning, documentation and a clear owner for each system.
Services most often used by commercial landlords
The services commercial landlords request most are Building Wi-Fi & Tenant Internet, vCIO for Property Companies, Cloud for Property Managers and Multi-Site Network Management. They are usually delivered in order: survey, stabilise, secure, then optimise. Each is available as a one-time project or as part of a continuing support agreement, and we scope them in writing before work begins.
What we integrate with
Our commercial landlords work routinely involves BAS platforms, Access control, Carrier fibre, Cisco Meraki and Tenant portals. Each has its own administrators, update cycles and support contacts, and we keep a register of them. Compliance expectations include PIPEDA, Lease and landlord-work obligations, Fire and life-safety code requirements and Insurer security standards; we translate these into access controls, retention settings, logging and documentation that your staff can maintain.
What it costs for commercial landlords
Starting prices apply to commercial landlords as they do to any client: managed IT from $89 to $199 per user per month, projects from $2,500, vCIO retainers from $1,500 per month and security assessments from $1,900. A 10% launch discount applies, GST is 5% and there is no lock-in. Suite count, number of sites and after-hours needs move a quote within those ranges.
