The Challenge
Menkes is a renowned real estate developer and property manager, recognized for its commitment to innovation and sustainability. With a diverse portfolio that spans commercial office, light industrial, retail and residential Menkes strives to deliver high-performing, resilient buildings that meet the evolving needs of tenants and communities.
On July 16th, 2024, Toronto faced severe flooding. To bolster resilience and prepare for future climate risks, Menkes engaged EVORA to conduct a detailed climate risk assessment. This evaluation provided critical insights into potential natural hazards, alongside their financial and material implications, empowering Menkes to enhance their preparedness and safeguard operations.
Our Approach
EVORA applied a tailored methodology to each building in the Menkes portfolio, accounting for site-specific factors such as geographic location, mechanical systems, and structural differences.
This customized approach ensured that selected buildings received an assessment aligned with its unique vulnerabilities and strengths, enabling the creation of precise, effective resilience strategies.
Key Outcomes
EVORA’s assessment provided each property team with a clear understanding of their building’s specific risks and resilience potential, even for closely situated assets.
This deeper insight allowed Menkes to adopt proactive, customized measures that mitigate risks and enhance resilience.
With this approach, Menkes is now better equipped to protect operations, minimize disruption, and future-proof its portfolio against climate-related challenges.
