Multi-housing unit developers and property managers seek to find ways to differentiate their new housing or commercial tenant project in a market that is widely oversaturated. Therefore, every amenity and property feature purchase decision is thoroughly examined.
However, one neglected property feature that is regularly used by every tenant, the multi-unit mailbox, can have a significant impact on the signing of new tenants. These units have multiple compartments for the centralised delivery of mail to the residents of a building or an entire neighbourhood, instead of door-to-door or curbside delivery.
The multi-unit mailboxes should be placed in a large circle rather than isolating them in smaller groupings or placing them linearly. Therefore, it creates a connection place that will contribute to a sense of community at the complex.
Whether commercial mailbox units are located indoors or outdoors, strong lighting is of great importance. There are several benefits to one’s tenants: ease of use in inserting the mailbox key and the ability to quickly sort through and view the mail.
To discourage the thieves, whether is about mail theft, or actual invasion into the tenant unit, the mail box unit should not have a telltale window. A quick look around can provide all the information a thief would need to know as to which tenant unit to target. Burglars look for signs that a tenant is on vacation and one of the easiest ways to spot tenants that are away is by noting signs at the tenant mailbox. Delivery notices left by postal carriers or untended mail and newspaper in your post box indicates that nobody’s home.
