Which properties in your portfolio are a fit for Alvéole?

Most asset managers aren't managing one building type. They're managing a mix, office, multifamily, retail, maybe a few industrial assets, and each one is carrying a different pressure: vacancy here, resident retention there, tenant satisfaction somewhere else, a need to stand out in a fourth. So the question isn't whether Alvéole belongs in real estate. It's whether it belongs in this building, solving that pressure.
This guide answers that by asset class, plainly. Some buildings are a clear fit. Some need a workaround. A few should wait. Here's how to tell which is which, without sending your portfolio spreadsheet first.
Four criteria that apply everywhere
Before you get into asset class specifics, a building generally qualifies if it has:
- Rooftop or ground-level outdoor space, even a small footprint
- Access for monthly beekeeper visits
- No active pesticide program nearby, and if there is one, monitoring its impact is part of the conversation, not a dealbreaker
- At least one internal champion, a property manager or sustainability lead who'll own the relationship
If a building clears these four, it's worth a closer look. If it's missing two or more, it's probably not the first one to start with.
Fit by asset class
A rooftop deck full of HVAC units doesn't rule out Class A office. A single point of contact matters more than square footage in industrial. And medical office isn't a no, it's "start with the sensor, revisit the hive later."
Not sure where your buildings land? Book an assessment and we'll walk through the table against your actual properties.
No rooftop? That's not a dealbreaker
Rooftop solar, HVAC equipment, or restricted roof access rules out one placement, not the program. Ground-level siting, courtyard installations, and Alvéole's Wild BeeHome units all work for constrained sites. Wild BeeHome has been running on more than 500 buildings for three years now, a purpose-built habitat for wild pollinators that installs without construction and feeds the same biodiversity data into your certification submissions. If your building doesn't have roof access, that's the first thing to tell Alvéole, not the reason to stop the conversation.
Scoping a multi-property portfolio
If you're evaluating 10 or more properties, don't try to qualify all of them at once. Start with the buildings that clear all four criteria cleanly, prove the program works, and grow from there. Five buildings across a portfolio is a realistic target, not the whole list in one move.
If you'd rather not hand over a full property list before you've had a real conversation, that's normal, and it's not what Alvéole is asking for. Give Alvéole the two or three buildings you're actually deciding between and the criteria above, and you'll get a straight answer on where each one lands.
Show Alvéole three buildings
Pick three properties from your portfolio, not your whole list. We can tell you which ones qualify, what to watch for, and what the right starting point looks like for each.
