How Frog Level Properties Is Using Smart Lockers to Modernize Rental Communities

Package theft has become the modern renter’s headache. One in five households has experienced it in the past year — and for rental communities, the problem is magnified. Deliveries from Amazon, FedEx, UPS, and others pile up at leasing offices or sit exposed on porches. Even centralized mail centers can’t help since they only serve USPS packages.

Frog Level Properties LLC saw this as an opportunity to innovate.

Turning a Frustration Into an Amenity

Rather than relying on staff to manage deliveries or adding more cameras, Frog Level Properties took a smarter approach: install dedicated Loxx Boxx smart lockers for each tenant.

These standalone, weatherproof lockers are built from 16-gauge marine-grade steel, solar powered, and fully connected over cellular or Wi-Fi. Every tenant receives their own secure unit — accessible through the Loxx Boxx mobile app and easily managed through the property management portal when tenants move out.

The result? No more packages cluttering offices, no lost deliveries, and happier tenants who feel their community prioritizes both security and convenience.

“It’s the kind of small change that makes a big impact,” says a Frog Level Properties manager. “Tenants notice when we make their daily life easier — and it shows up in renewals.”

Smarter for Tenants, Simpler for Management

Each Loxx Boxx notifies tenants automatically when a delivery is made or picked up. Property managers can monitor usage and reassign boxes with a few clicks. There’s no wiring, no trenching, and no complicated install — just anchor the box and connect.

With AI-powered tracking built into the app, renters can even see shipment status and carrier updates in real time. It’s a simple, modern amenity that solves a very real problem.

Tax Benefits That Make Business Sense

Under the 2025 U.S. tax code, investments like Loxx Boxx smart lockers qualify for bonus depreciation and accelerated expensing. That means Frog Level Properties can deduct a significant portion of installation costs in the same year they’re placed in service — instead of spreading depreciation over many years.

• Immediate first-year deduction for a large percentage of installation costs
• Reduced taxable income for the current year
• Up to 60% lower effective cost when factoring in allowable depreciation
• Improved cash flow for reinvestment or property upgrades

By leveraging these provisions, Frog Level Properties turned what could have been a routine expense into a strategic tax-advantaged investment that benefits both ownership and tenants.

Building Safer, Smarter Communities

For Frog Level Properties, the move to individual Loxx Boxxes wasn’t just about security — it was about future-proofing their communities. Smart amenities that protect residents, simplify operations, and align with new tax incentives represent the next generation of property management.

Loxx Boxx makes that future possible:

• Fully cellular and solar powered
• App-controlled access for tenants
• Easy turnover management for property teams
• Qualifies for accelerated depreciation under the 2025 code

As package delivery continues to be an everyday reality for renters, the companies investing in smart, connected solutions today are the ones setting the standard for tomorrow’s communities.
