The challenge

What was going wrong

  • 47 vehicle break-ins in 8 months
  • Customers avoiding evening shopping hours
  • Tenants threatening to end their leases
  • Occupancy down from 98% to 76%
  • Repeat police calls with little deterrence

What we put in place

  1. 18 cameras with analytics

    Covering the parking lot and walkways.

  2. Licence plate recognition

    To track repeat suspects and vehicles.

  3. Live monitoring 6 p.m. to 8 a.m.

    With real-time voice warnings to offenders.

  4. Emergency call buttons

    Customers can reach an operator from the lot.

The results

What changed

  • Zero customer safety incidents in 14 months
  • Tenant retention improved to 95%
  • Occupancy recovered to 94%
  • Better police response with verified alerts
  • Security investment paid back within the first year

“Our parking lot was a crime hotspot. Customers were scared to shop after dark. Supreme’s monitoring transformed the entire property. The voice warnings alone deter most problems before they start.”
