Lani Volz, LEED GA, Property Manager Boston Properties/Salesforce Tower
A star has rapidly risen in the San Francisco commercial real estate world! In just six years, Lani Volz has gone from a temporary coordinator position at Boston Properties to Property Manager at Salesforce Tower, San Francisco’s new icon and tallest building. “During my first few months with the company, I witnessed a level of professionalism and dedication to excellence that I knew I wanted to be a part of,” says Volz. “Boston Properties believes in developing talent within, so from a temp coordinator position I moved to work at our SOMA properties, then back to work on One and Two Embarcadero Center, and then was selected to be a part of the opening team for Salesforce Tower as Assistant Property Manager.” A little after two years later, she was promoted to Property Manager. Lani Volz “Managing a new asset is a unique experience in itself, but adding the size and scale of Salesforce Tower takes it to another level. Every day is filled with excitement, challenge and growth,” Volz observes. “I have been very fortunate to be a part of the property management team from the building’s inception and have gained incredible experience as the project transitioned from development and construction to full operation. The most exciting part about my role is being able to partake in the formation of a building community. From security and engineering to our tenants and their employee base—we are all a part of the building’s initial life period and get to experience the process.” Throughout her career, Volz has been an active member of the BOMA SF Energy and Environment Committee, as she has a strong interest in sustainability and environmental cognizance. She adds that committee work has connected her with knowledgeable industry leaders and professionals who are a valuable resource. When she’s not in the office, Volz enjoys being outdoors and exploring nature. “Transitioning from Hawai’i to California was an adjustment, but also an incredible change as the scenery here is just as amazing,” she says. “The golden coast has so much to offer, and I really love taking it all in. When the sun is out, you can find me at the beach (although I have not gotten used to the water temperatures just yet) or hiking around the Bay Area.”
