Aquila Launches COVID-19 Resource Center

Aquila Commercial launched its COVID-19 Austin Real Estate Resource Center. The goal of the resource center is to provide answers for the commercial real estate industry and tenants in Austin.

“We’ve received positive feedback from our clients about these resources,” said Aquila principal Kristi Svec Simmons. “Whether they’re in need of rent relief or not, tenants want to know what their options are. We’ve been glad to be able to be a resource for them through this uncertain time.”

The resource center is updated two to three times a week. Initial content focused on answering tenant’s questions about rent relief options and the impact of local ordinances on construction projects.

As the market shifts its focus from immediate relief to long-term strategy, the resources have begun addressing broader topics. Aquila is also including ways to help the Austin community, featuring articles on how to support both local businesses and nonprofits.
