Case Studies

Project Overview

Paso Arroyo Construction (PAC) was engaged to renovate the exterior of a small bay business park to modernize its appearance and improve curb appeal. The property, featuring a dated dingy brown brick façade, was extremely well-located with excellent visibility to a busy street. The owners wanted the park to feel fresh, young, and modern within the first 90 days of ownership.

Renovation Scope and Execution

PAC implemented a range of strategic upgrades:

• Paint and Finishes: Applied a fresh Sherwin Williams white and black paint theme.
• Fencing and Signage: Installed new wood panel fencing with a lighter stain and matching wood elements for tall tenant directory and marquee signs.
• Landscaping: Excavated flower beds and replaced them with lava rock.
• Cleaning and Repairs: Professionally pressure washed the entire park and repaired or replaced all loose and damaged metal.

The project spanned three full buildings and over 57,000 square feet, all completed within the tight 90-day timeline.

Challenges and Solutions

PAC faced the challenge of transforming a large property within a short timeframe. Tight planning and efficient execution allowed the team to meet the deadline while delivering a high-quality result.

Results and Market Impact

The impact of the renovation was immediate:

• Increased Leasing Activity: The property saw a significant lift in leasing activity and sign calls shortly after the renovation.
• Submarket Influence: Competing property owners began replicating PAC’s finishes, and the park became a leading case study in the submarket.
• Tenant Satisfaction: Current tenants were impressed with the speed of the work and the transformative effect on the property.
• Value Creation: The renovation directly contributed to increasing property value by enhancing lease velocity, reducing downtime, and improving NOI. Renovated spaces also required fewer tenant concessions.

Conclusion

This project exemplifies Paso Arroyo Construction’s ability to deliver strategic, value-driven renovations under tight timelines. By tying every improvement back to increasing property performance, PAC ensured a lasting impact for the owners while elevating the park’s status in the market.
