11 - 50 employees

Each of our properties is treated as a stand-alone business and has its own team of in-house property management experts. This approach ensures a focus on creating value and maximizing long-term profitability, while striving to be the landlord of choice. It also brings countless benefits, whether in the form of superior operational and maintenance standards, or more broadly in the form of savings from our globally negotiated procurement contracts. The result is a clean, secure, well-maintained property managed to the standard of a premier, owner-occupied building. FOS employs property management specialists who oversee all aspects of our buildings' operations, including engineering, security, fire safety and maintenance. With a reputation as a best-in-class operator, FOS also partners with many premier organizations to provide property and facilities management for their national and international corporate headquarters. To ensure that our properties are operated to the highest levels of professionalism, responsiveness and efficiency, FOS integrates customized internal programs into every building.
