Launching our new 3-minute podcast with a Halloween special, featuring Erin Miller, Principal leading our Real Estate Measurement + Analytics Group, and Nelson Algaze, AIA, our CEO and Founding Principal.

In each episode, we answer one client question in about three minutes, starting with one that comes up more often than you'd expect: how do we know the building on our plans is the building we actually own?

What question should we tackle next?

We see you.

The property manager who answers the call before anyone else knows there's a problem.

Who coordinates the repair, calms the tenant, updates ownership, tracks the budget, checks the lease, and somehow still gets the next project moving.

Who knows which systems need attention, which suite is almost ready, which contractor needs a follow-up, and which small issue could become a very expensive one if it goes unnoticed.

You manage buildings, people, risk, budgets, deadlines, expectations…and about a million details in between.

When everything runs smoothly, it's easy to assume everything is fine.
And that's precisely the point.

The best problem-solving is often invisible. The work behind it isn't.

At SAA, we see the complexity behind the day-to-day. And we believe the people responsible for keeping buildings running deserve better support to do their best work.

That's why we developed our Digital Twin offering: to give property managers reliable building information and help find answers faster.

A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of bringing together friends and colleagues from across the commercial real estate industry at LUMEN West LA in support of Girls Inc. of Los Angeles. ()

The evening was a celebration of connection, collaboration, and the collective impact we can make when our industry comes together for a meaningful cause.

Girls Inc. of Los Angeles is dedicated to inspiring girls to be strong, smart, and bold through mentorship, education, and opportunities that empower them to reach their full potential. At SAA, we believe in creating spaces where people can thrive, and that commitment extends beyond the built environment to supporting the next generation of young women and future leaders in our community.

A special thank you to our co-hosts, Girls Inc. of Los Angeles, Esplanade Builders, Inc., and LUMEN West LA, and to our generous sponsors, MEP California Engineering Corp, PLANNET, Sheridan Group, DFS Flooring, and GPS Painting, for helping bring this special evening to life.

What does every lease, renovation, and capital project need? Accurate data.

Building on decades of measurement and analytics expertise, SAA is bringing digital twins to commercial real estate.

Digital twins integrate building measurements, documentation, and spatial data into a single, trusted source of truth for your asset, helping you uncover hidden value, reduce uncertainty, and make informed decisions with confidence.

Developed for owners, investors, brokers, property managers, and corporate real estate teams, digital twins represent a smarter way to understand and manage the built environment.

Special thanks to Jenna Koerner for sharing how digital twins are helping real estate teams make more informed decisions. SAA's Real Estate Measurement and Analytics practice is led by Erin Miller, Principal and co-author of the latest BOMA Standards

Every week counts.

Every week a project spends waiting is a week construction doesn't start, tenants don't move in, and owners don't see a return on their investment.

For brokers, property managers, owners, and tenants permitting isn't just a process issue. It's a business issue.

Permitting reform is a book of many chapters.

Over the past five years, we've watched Los Angeles, Santa Monica, and California test new ideas, expand successful programs, and rethink how permit review gets done.

2021 | LADBS Fast Track
Gave qualifying office tenant improvements their own review lane.

2025 | Project Recovery
Created a blueprint for using licensed professionals to help accelerate review while maintaining accountability.

2025 | Emergency Order 6
Launched Los Angeles' Self-Certification Pilot Program.

2025 | Emergency Order 10
Expanded self-certification to support commercial recovery citywide.

2026 | Executive Directive 19
Moved city review from sequential to concurrent through a more integrated digital review process.

2026 | Santa Monica Professional Self-Certification Pilot Launch
Showed that other cities were also willing to test new approaches to permitting.

2026 | LADBS Self-Certification in Practice
Moved architect-led self-certification from policy into implementation.

2026 | AB 2418
Created a statewide pathway for qualified third-party plan review when prescribed delays are exceeded, while local agencies retain final permitting authority.

Our team is committed to helping clients shorten the time from LOI to move-in.

That's why our CEO, Nelson Algaze, AIA, and other SAA leaders remain engaged in the conversations about permitting reform through organizations such as AIA Los Angeles, Urban Land Institute Los Angeles, and Building Owners and Managers Association Greater Los Angeles.

The next chapter is being written.

Every week counts.

Predictability is a business advantage.

During our Girls Inc. of Los Angeles () event at LUMEN West LA, we had the opportunity to walk guests through the spec suites we designed for the building.

Spec suites give prospective tenants a tangible vision of what’s possible, helping them quickly understand the potential of a space and how it could support their teams. For building owners, they can enhance asset value and drive leasing momentum around available space.

At LUMEN West LA, the goal was to create move-in-ready environments that set a high standard for the building, elevate the tenant experience, and convert interest into leasing activity.

Last week, we welcomed students from California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) to our Orange County office as part of our ongoing partnership with the university.

Through conversations with our team, students gained firsthand insight into professional practice, the collaborative nature of the design process, and the impact thoughtful design can have on the people and communities it serves.

Supporting future talent through mentorship, education, and industry engagement remains an important part of who we are. We are proud to continue our partnership with CSULB and help inspire the next generation of design professionals.

More good news for Southern California: we’re having more conversations about companies expanding, relocating, and looking for move-in-ready space in Orange County.

SAA has helped owners across Orange County simplify the complex work of evolving their buildings to meet changing market needs. We create market-ready spaces, streamline design and permitting, and reduce the time from tenant interest to occupancy.

Our Orange County project footprint reflects years of helping owners achieve the same core business goals: attract tenants, accelerate occupancy, and improve long-term asset performance.

The market is moving. If you are preparing a building, repositioning a portfolio, or responding to a new tenant opportunity, we’re here to support you.

CRE moves forward when the people shaping it come together‌.

Whether we’re supporting a good cause, celebrating great work, or engaging in friendly competition, this fall's CRE events create space for the conversations and collaboration that strengthen our industry and our cities.

SAA is sponsoring Building Owners and Managers Association Greater Los Angeles’ upcoming events and continuing as a 2026 Annual Chapter Sponsor of CREDA SoCal (formerly NAIOP SoCal).

Here’s where you’ll find our team over the next few months.

Which events will we see you at?

"Alone, we can do so little; together, we can do so much."
- Helen Keller

Last week, a group of SAAers spent an afternoon volunteering at the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank.

The experience was a simple but powerful reminder that community isn't something we have. It's something we build.

Thank you to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank for the incredible work you do every day, and to everyone who showed up to lend a hand. 🧡
