Trellis Fifth Avenue
Solving the Challenges of a 15-Year Old, Space-Constrained Property with Parcel Pending
Introduction
Trellis Fifth Avenue is an urban condominium property located in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter in downtown San Diego – a prime location for owners and residents. The centralized location has its perks, but also a few drawbacks: as an older property, Trellis had a lack of adequate mailroom space to store the growing influx of online package deliveries.
Packages were stored on a table in the lobby or next to an unattended security desk. Building staff struggled to keep up with the pileup of packages, which were often stolen. Building staff, owners, and residents knew they needed a better solution, but what?
That’s when Jason King, a member of the Homeowner’s Association at Trellis Fifth Avenue, found Parcel Pending smart lockers and the solution to their package problems.
| About the Property |
|---|
| Gaslamp Quarter, downtown San Diego |
| Built in 2005 |
| 2 buildings, 149 units |
| 33% of resident packages stolen before implementing Parcel Pending lockers |
| Limited space for managing mail and package deliveries |
The Problem
Deliveries were left unsecured in the lobby, which resulted in some package thefts. Residents turned to the building’s engineer and janitor to hold their packages until they were able to retrieve them, tying up property operations and creating accountability issues.
The Solution
Parcel Pending partnered with the team at Trellis to design and implement a secure package management solution that fit all the property’s needs and unique space requirements .“We absolutely made the right choice with Parcel Pending,” says King. “Everyone loves how easy it is to use the lockers, and the Customer Service team has provided phenomenal support for both our owners and our residents.”

By adding Parcel Pending lockers to their property, Trellis Fifth Avenue has seen a 100% reduction in package theft, and now has a beautiful and much-desired amenity to show to prospective owners and residents. “I’m thrilled,” King added. “I’ll tell anyone who wants to know how great we think Parcel Pending lockers are.”
