Vending machines for disaster relief
KDXR has installed vending machines for disaster relief at some of its properties. In the event of a power outage caused by a disaster or similar event, products in the vending machine can be provided as relief beverages free of charge.
Improving Tenant Satisfaction
KDXR and the Asset Management Company tries to enhance customer satisfaction through managing its properties. KDXR and the Asset Management Company are also dedicated to increasing the satisfaction of listed REIT investors. To improve the quality of the properties and management performance, KDXR and the Asset Management Company work in cooperation with property management companies, building management companies and other business partners.
Tenant Satisfaction Survey
The Asset Management Company conducts satisfaction survey for tenants in office buildings, shopping centers and healthcare facilities (the person in charge of general affairs and employees, and residents) regarding building facilities and operational services. This survey is undertaken by a third party and conducted every two years
as a general rule.
Consecutive survey enables us to capture the tenant needs and quickly respond by renewal of facilities or implement refurbishment and receive strong intention to stay in the same building from tenants.
