​OT Modernization
Picture
Overview. Starting in 2017, Olmos Tower developed and began to implement a modernization plan to update both infrastructure and amenities.  

Guiding Principle. Replace aging/near end-of-life components with quality products that not only last longer but also reduce support and maintenance costs.

​Funding. To accomplish the plan, the Owners (48) overwhelmingly chose to fund these efforts through loans rather than Special Assessments. Over the past few years, Olmos Tower has implemented $2.0M worth of improvements through both the loan process and Monthly HOA fees with no Special Assessment.  Because of  improved efficiencies resulting from the capital projects, our monthly HOA rate ($1 per sf) continues to be the lowest among comparable luxury condominiums in the city.

Fee Collection Efficiencies. Recently OT converted from paper checks to 100% collection of monthly HOA fees ($103,000) and Utilities ($12,000) using ACH.  Also, ongoing effort to upgrade back office IT and software for a more efficient and near paperless environment by May 2026.

Staff. Olmos Tower has four paid staff members:  Building Manager, Housekeeping, and two Maintenance.   

​Board.  Active six member Board.  Variety of  experience in Law, Security, Large Project Management, Large Scale Real Estate Development, Technology Director, CEOs, and Hospitality/Interior Design.
