Commercial Real Estate
Buckingham Companies has extensive experience developing, owning, and managing commercial office assets across both urban and suburban environments, including standalone buildings and office components within mixed-use developments. Our portfolio spans downtown Indianapolis, CityWay, and Greenfield, Indiana, and is supported by a broader platform that includes ground-floor retail, multifamily, hotel, and institutional uses.
We currently oversee a diverse commercial portfolio that includes professional services, medical office, flex users, and supporting retail and service tenants. Our management platform is structured to deliver institutional-level operations with a strong focus on tenant retention, operational efficiency, and long-term asset value optimization, while maintaining the flexibility needed to support a range of office product types.
Buckingham has deep experience managing and leasing standalone commercial office assets across both suburban and urban environments, including properties in downtown Indianapolis, CityWay, and Greenfield, Indiana. Our team understands the operational nuances of office buildings, including:
- Coordinating day-to-day building operations and vendor management across engineering, janitorial, and building systems
- Supporting a diverse tenant base ranging from professional services to medical and flex office users
- Maintaining a high-quality, professional workplace environment that supports tenant retention and long-term occupancy
- Overseeing lease compliance, tenant improvements, and capital planning to protect and enhance asset value
We maintain close collaboration between property management, asset management, leasing partners, and ownership to ensure tenant satisfaction, operational efficiency, and long-term asset performance.
Maintenance Coordination
Buckingham utilizes a service model that includes regular property inspections, while specialized responsibilities such as HVAC, elevators, fire/life safety, and structural work are performed by prequalified third-party vendors.
THIS APPROACH ALLOWS US TO:
- Maintain onsite responsiveness
- Ensure code compliance and life-safety standards
- Control cost
- Hold vendors accountable through established performance metrics
- Preventative maintenance schedules are maintained, logged and tracked internally.
Billing and Administration
- Buckingham administers rent billing, escalation calculations, and CAM administration through our centralized accounting department. Core functions include:
- Monthly billing of base rent and additional rent
- Annual operating expense budgeting
- Monthly tracking and variance reporting
- Annual CAM reconciliation (through 3rd party provider)
Expenses are allocated in accordance with lease language and reviewed by both property management and accounting leadership prior to issuance.
Tenant Communication Protocols
Buckingham emphasizes proactive, structured communication with tenants. Standard practices include:
- A dedicated property management point of contact
- 24/7 service request via tenant portal
- Regular retail tenant check-ins regarding performance, operations, and site needs
- Notice procedures for site work, capital projects, and building activity
- Emergency response communication tree
We view our retail tenants as long-term partners and work collaboratively to create environments that support customer traffic, safety, and brand experience while maintaining the performance expectations of ownership.
