Our affiliated properties have been developing fixed income solutions and solutions to increase the tenant density in our units taking advantage of our generally abundant parking, often good access to public transportation, and other factors supporting this.
From an operations perspective, we must be reviewing our labor costs and assure that we remain competitive.
