The Quality of the Workplace Boosts Productivity & Reduces Tenants' Costs

Numerous studies have shown that productivity can be boosted significantly with improvements to the quality of the workplace such as daylight and attention to the technical causes of typical tenant complaints, such as air quality and comfort temperature. Studies of daylighting integration alone have shown increases of 13-20% in the productivity of building occupants.

Indirect costs, such as non-productivity or sick leave are borne by the tenant. Direct costs such as utilities and waste disposal or treatment are also often the responsibility of the tenant. When improvement in the workplace yields increased productivity and reduced direct costs, the result is savings (and increased profit) for the tenant.

Fort Ritchie provides a state-of-the-art setting for demanding commercial or government tenants—with a clearly superior quality of life for those who will call Fort Ritchie at Cascade their new home.
