real estate solutions.

Easy access to the right building information enables property owners, property managers and leasing managers to achieve their business objectives: grow building revenues, optimize building operations, meet safety requirements, and market space to full capacity. Bottom line: using up-to-date information can mean the difference between a cost-efficient, fully-occupied building – and high vacancy rates and operating costs.

For over 24 years, the SDI real estate team has helped building owners and managers maximize the leasing revenues, operational efficiencies, and security of their properties. SDI currently manages over 244 million square feet of property information across the nation. We are trusted by the top real estate developers and owners in the country to deliver significant financial impact to real estate portfolios. SDI offers the following services to the real estate industry:

• Square Footage Verification and Accounting:

SDI finds that the rentable square footage of a building is typically 4-8% larger than what building owners recognize! Using BOMA standards, the SDI team verifies square footage for a building - or entire portfolio of properties - to achieve significant growth in rentable space. SDI’s findings and related documentation allow the building owner to sell this additional, revenue-generating rentable square footage when signing new tenants. Or, bring in SDI during a property transaction to deliver undisputable analysis of a portfolio’s value – the SDI Team recently identified an additional 6% of property value for a recent transaction.


• Building Documentation Archiving and Maintenance:

The SDI team keeps your building information available and accurate in SDI’s online portal, Portfolio. Visit www.sdiportfolio.com for a sample of the wealth of building information that you can access instantly, including: floor plans, leasing books, graphs and reports, stacking plans, and lease abstracts.


• Emergency Evacuation Plan Creation and Maintenance:

SDI creates Emergency Evacuation Plans that help building management to stay in compliance with municipal requirements, including the City of Chicago High Rise Buildings/Emergency Procedure ordinance.


• Department Tracking:

SDI provides on-line space utilization reports based on department usage and cost center tracking.
