Basin Street Properties, a prominent real estate investment, development, and management firm, is pleased to announce the installation of 60 new Webasto TurboDX Level 2 electric vehicle charging stations across six of its Petaluma offices properties.
Powerflex EDF Renewables installed state-of-the-art stations at six different Basin Street Properties locations: 5341 Old Redwood Hwy, 1400 North McDowell, 1420 North McDowell, 1800 South McDowell, 2000 South McDowell and the Petaluma Marina. Powerflex was also instrumental in coordinating rebates through the California Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Project (CALeVIP).
“EV charging demand continues to grow with our tenant base and it’s a property feature we feel good about at multiple levels,” said Stephanie Burlingame, Chief Operating Officer at Basin Street Properties. “EV charging is part of our broader sustainability efforts including solar power installations, LED lighting upgrades and water usage reduction strategies.”
The project continues Basin Street Properties’ commitment to offer Class A office space that is environmentally friendly. The EV charging installations follow on three recent solar installation projects implemented in Sacramento, Petaluma and Santa Rosa. Collectively these projects provide 1,097,230 kW of annual power generation as well as 215 shaded parking stalls at the Sacramento and Petaluma locations.
“As electric vehicles usage continues to grow, the proper infrastructure will be an essential amenity for employees needing a charge while at the office,” said Blake Riva, President at Basin Street Properties. “This initiative is part of our broader efforts to provide outstanding property amenities to help tenants reconnect with their teams as they return to the office.”
“Our tenants are the core of our business,” said Burlingame. “From a property management perspective, tenant satisfaction drives everything we do, and we are actively looking for ways to improve tenant experiences across our portfolio, especially when it comes to sustainability initiatives.”
