— Property Management Quarterly — February 2015
CONTENTS
Letter from the Editor
T
hese past few months have
been a crash course into the
world of property manage-
ment, and the more I learn,
the more there seems to be to
learn. I’m constantly impressed with
the breadth of knowledge property
managers have on a wide array of
topics and at the unstoppable pace in
which they must conduct their work.
We’ve hosted countless meetings
and conducted an informal poll
in order to help
determine what
this publication
should cover. One
thing that quickly
became evident is
property manag-
ers really seem
to love their job,
even though the
challenges are con-
stantly changing.
I recognized three themes that will
help shape this publication’s content:
1. There is a lot of pressure for
managers to stay up to date on just
about everything. Property Manage-
ment Quarterly will do its best to
provide a variety of articles that cover
the latest in technologies, codes and
standards. In this inaugural issue, the
latest in snow removal trends, tree
maintenance for spring, as well as
options for increasing building sus-
tainability are all featured.
2. There is never enough time to get
everything done, so leisurely reading
is not a priority. Each issue will set
out to put forth information that is
worthy of your time.
3. Networking among industry
peers is important. We’ll highlight
people making a difference in the
property management world through
contributed articles and profiles, as
well as keep you current on upcom-
ing networking events.
The managers profiled in this
quarterly will be shadowed for a day.
Each issue will highlight a different
building-type manager and hopefully
present an opportunity for readers
to compare how different positions
stack up. In this issue, I shadowed
Daunine Mandarich, who manages
a multitenant Class A office tower in
downtown Denver. The article, which
starts on Page 10, shares some of her
accomplishments as well as her work
approach.
This issue also highlights several of
the major industry associations. In
coming issues, I hope to have more
input from associations across the
state.
Putting this issue together has been
a real treat. I want to say a big thank
you to all the authors in the issue as
well as those who met with me.
After reading, please send me an
email, give me a call or find me at
the Colorado Real Estate Journal
Property Management Conference
Feb. 19. Let me know what you liked
and disliked, as well as things you’d
like to see covered in future issues.
I believe reader feedback is crucial,
and I look forward to hearing from
you.
Thanks for reading,
