The Costa Rican Electricity Institute (ICE) saved ¢ 1,145 million per year with the return four rentals used for warehouses and offices.
The amount was the annual payment for rent, maintenance and cleaning of the buildings.
This economy is part of the plan called Real Estate Development Storage (DINBO), successfully completed last July, as part of the efforts to rationalize financial resources and infrastructure of the institution,”
said Geovanni Porras, director of the Shared Services Division of ICE.
The four buildings were located in Heredia, La Peregrina, La Pitahaya and Barrio México. The staff and offices that were located in those buildings were moved gradually to ICE’s upgraded or recently built facilities in Colima and Pavas.
With this measure, we achieved a significant space optimization, moving from a rented area of 8,985 m2, to a conditioning of 4,900 m2 in existing buildings and the construction of 610 new m2 in ICE’s own premises,”
said Porras.
As part of the optimization of resources, ICE also undertakes real estate development projects for Administrative Offices (DIPOA). The construction of a new building in Sabana Norte (200 meters north of the headquarters building), will allow the elimination of ten rentals located in the Metropolitan Area in 2017.
