The Californer/10129726

SAN DIEGO - Californer -- In an effort to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19, Parallel Capital Partners, Inc. has installed state-of-the-art needlepoint bipolar ionization air sterilization systems at four office complexes in its portfolio: Honolulu's Davies Pacific Center; Urban Towers in Dallas; Shoreline Square in Long Beach, Calif.; and The Ranch at Seal Beach in Seal Beach, Calif. The system has also been installed at Parallel's headquarters at 4105 Sorrento Valley Blvd. in San Diego. Last year, the company was the first to utilize this technology in downtown Phoenix, installing air purification systems in its two Arizona high-rise properties, One North Central and One Arizona Center.

According to Matt Root, CEO and managing partner of Parallel Capital Partners, a commercial real estate investment and operating company, public anxieties about indoor air quality due to coronavirus continue to be a concern – as a result bipolar ionization air purification technology is surging in popularity among commercial property owners and operators. "Independent lab tests reveal that airborne bacteria and viruses were reduced significantly after exposure to bipolar ionization systems, which we believe are one of the safest, most energy efficient and effective ways to keep people safe from pathogens and reduce or eliminate pollutants in the air," he said.
