Our Approach
Rockhill connects work to life across a distinctive portfolio of properties by providing customized service and engaging communities with a strong sense of place, reflecting today’s tenant and resident preferences. We employ a responsive, tailored approach to property and relationship management to deliver a consistently elevated service experience across Rockpoint-owned properties. Since its inception, Rockhill has provided an expansive suite of property services, including but not limited to, property management and project management, to properties representing approximately 60 million square feet.
Featured Case Studies
Rockpoint acquired 275 Battery Street, a 30-story class A office tower in San Francisco’s Financial District, in December 2014. Since acquisition, Rockhill has actively optimized building operations, maintaining ENERGY STAR certifications every year with scores of 82 or higher while identifying energy efficiency and emissions-reduction opportunities.
In December 2023, the building’s electricity supply transitioned from PG&E to CleanPowerSF’s SuperGreen rate, delivering 100% renewable energy from wind and solar. This shift materially reduced the building’s environmental impact and aligned with San Francisco’s decarbonization goals. Market-based carbon emissions from electricity declined 52%, from 2.72 million kg CO₂e in 2014 to 1.3 million kg CO₂e by 2023*. The building’s market-based carbon emissions from electricity use dropped to zero beginning in 2024**.
This initiative represents a significant advancement in 275 Battery’s environmental performance, demonstrating Rockhill’s commitment to measurable, results-driven sustainability outcomes.

INDUSTRIAL ASSETS
Rockhill approaches industrial property management with the same dedication to quality, energy-efficiency, and user experience as its other asset types. We regularly engage with occupiers, not only as property managers, but as a resource for lighting and other energy efficiency upgrades.
In 2024, we demonstrated this commitment by completing several energy efficiency upgrades across the portfolio.
- State-of-the-art, motion sensing, high-efficiency LED lights were installed at four properties covering a total of 434,000 square feet.
- Inefficient HVAC systems were replaced, including two units in Dallas and one in Edgewood, with energy efficient and programmable HVAC systems.
Rockhill has identified and several opportunities to advance energy efficiency moving forward, including:
- Benchmarking energy and water use at all buildings.
- Studying feasibility of rooftop solar installations by partnering with tenants and electric distribution companies. We currently have one solar installation covering about 100K SF (generating 600 kW).
- Implementing a program to work with occupants to convert to LED lighting across the portfolio.
Total projected annual energy savings for these projects completed in 2024 is 561,000 kWh with $90,400 projected for annual monetary savings.*
