You would be hard-pressed to find a building with more satisfied tenants than Beaird Tower in downtown Shreveport, Louisiana. That’s because the Commercial Property Management team with Vintage Realty have more than 30 years of experience managing Beaird Tower which means they know how to provide their tenants with an outstanding workplace environment. “We care about this building like it’s our own,” says Vintage Realty. 

The property team at Beaird Tower prioritizes constant re-evaluation of their efforts and always looks for areas for improvement. A key component of their success has been the BOMA 360 Performance Program.  “The BOMA 360 designation provided us with an answer to the question that is always on our minds: How can we do better?” The Beaird Tower team at Vintage Realty proudly promotes their building’s achievement, with BOMA 360 logo decals displayed on their front entrance and a section on their building website highlighting their designation. They know the achievement puts them in good company: Analysis has shown that BOMA 360-designated buildings have higher tenant satisfaction scores in all 55 quantitative rating areas measured by the Kingsley IndexSM, the most comprehensive benchmarking database for tenant satisfaction.

The entire property team at Beaird Tower consistently go above and beyond for their tenants. From bringing in rotating food trucks to hosting seasonal events, the team works hard to anticipate the needs of their tenants and deliver the best workplace experience. Beaird Tower has the advantage of counting its own ownership among its tenants, too. “Since our owner operates in our building, he knows how important it is to invest in the building. We benefit from him experiencing everything the other tenants experience,” explains Vintage.

A comprehensive approach to tenant care, along with the distinction of the BOMA 360 designation, even allowed the team to acquire a large, full-floor law firm as a new tenant—away from a longtime competitor—in 2018. “With a mid-size market like ours, we do a lot of tenant trading among our competitors. That makes keeping the tenants we have extremely important,” notes the Brokerage and Leasing team.

No matter the market, staying ahead of your competition is key, and the property team at Beaird Tower has worked hard to maintain that competitive edge with BOMA 360. Beaird Tower was the first building in its market to receive a BOMA 360 designation and the second to earn it in all of Louisiana.
