Nuveen Real Estate unlocks NOI growth at 8270 Greensboro by modernizing parking operations with Vend
Location: Tysons Corner, Virginia
Asset Type: Class A Office
Vend Deployment: LPR-Gated + Kiosk Entry | Monthly + Transient + Validations
KEY RESULTS
- Increased revenue to 84% above budget
- Positive NOI within two months, reversing prior negative NOI
- $16K in ARR uncovered through Vend’s AI-powered lease analysis
- $2,500 in monthly validation revenue properly captured and billed (new since starting with Vend)
- 11% lower operating costs through tech-enabled efficiency
THE CHALLENGE: LEGACY OPERATIONS LIMITING PERFORMANCE
Before Vend, parking at 8270 Greensboro operated like most traditional office garages — a patchwork of outdated systems, manual billing, and missed revenue. The prior operator struggled with:
- Negative NOI despite strong tenant demand
- Untracked validations and underbilled tenants
- Inaccurate reporting and inconsistent revenue capture
- No visibility into parker mix or lease compliance
For a premier Tysons Corner asset anchored by tenants like Baker Tilly, G Squared, and Range Finance, the parking operation wasn’t reflecting the building’s value.
Nuveen needed a partner that could not only stabilize performance but also turn parking into a reliable revenue stream.
THE SOLUTION: AN AUTONOMOUS AI-DRIVEN PARKING OPERATION
Vend replaced the legacy dual-vendor setup with an integrated platform that combines technology + operations + intelligence — creating a single source of truth for performance and accountability.
What Vend Deployed
- License Plate Recognition (LPR) gated access at all entries
- Digital kiosks to streamline transient payments
- AI lease analysis to identify underbilled tenants
- Automated validation tracking for local businesses
- Real-time analytics for revenue, occupancy, and parker mix
Smart Wins in the First Quarter
- Recovered Lost Revenue: Vend’s AI lease audit uncovered $16K in unpaid monthly parking fees from a tenant that hadn’t been billed since 2022.
- Captured Validation Income: A local gym partner now generates over $8K/month in billed validations — revenue previously missed.
- Improved Revenue Capture: With reliable uptime and precise LPR tracking, every dollar of transient revenue is now recorded and reported.
- Expense Efficiency: Lower operating costs through Vend’s flex staffing model and autonomous tech.
THE RESULTS: IMMEDIATE NOI TURNAROUND
Vend’s platform didn’t just stabilize operations — it transformed them.

Within 60 days, the garage moved from negative NOI to positive, outperforming both the budget and historical benchmarks.
“This is exactly the kind of NOI lift we build for. By unifying tech and operations, we turned a loss-making garage into a high-performing asset — with zero guesswork.”
— Tony Albanese, Head of Revenue @ Vend
WHY IT WORKED: ONE PLATFORM, FULL ACCOUNTABILITY
With Vend, Nuveen eliminated the inefficiencies of the legacy dual-vendor model — one operator, one tech vendor, two sets of incentives — and replaced it with a single integrated solution.
Now, every dollar, parker, and validation is tracked, billed, and visible in real time.
The result: no revenue leakage, no finger-pointing, and no friction.
THE CLIENT EXPERIENCE
“Vend made parking seamless. We’re finally confident the system is capturing every transaction, tenants are being billed accurately, and the garage is performing like it should.”

Nuveen’s property team credits the turnaround to full transparency, responsive support, and a data-rich view of performance that guides smarter asset decisions.
LOOKING AHEAD
8270 Greensboro now operates as a model site for how Nuveen can deploy Vend across its office portfolio — combining operational excellence with new NOI growth.
From outdated operations to autonomous optimization — Vend is redefining how parking performs.
