As a Network, CORE Member firms collaborate to provide the following services:
|
| Tenant Representation |
| Tenant Representation specialists represent clients in acquiring facilities
through lease or purchase, restructuring or disposing of surplus property. The
Tenant Representation specialty systematically assists clients in developing
a portfolio strategy, defining facility space requirements, identifying and
evaluating alternatives, negotiating lease and acquisition documents as well as
orchestrating the process of building out and moving into new facilities. |
| Leasing and Management |
| The CORE Network provides clients with professional property management and
leasing services. Our fundamental operating theory is that superior real estate
management is essential to the realization of maximum return on investment.
Leasing and management specialists often contribute significantly to corporate
occupancy assignments either as the local market representatives for a
transaction or as a team member who coordinates the physical and technical
evaluation of the client’s occupancy alternatives. |
| Investment Advisory Services |
| The investment group of the network is utilized on a regional and national basis
to advise our corporate and institutional clients about investment opportunities
both nationally and internationally. These services are geared to assist not
only the local investor and developer, but also the large institutional investors,
international investment groups and REITs in strategic acquisitions to their
portfolios. Our network of investment personnel throughout the country
provides us with access to opportunities that may not be available through the
normal course of business. The success of the investment division is based
on each of our business partners’ in-depth knowledge of the marketplace and
opportunities that exist not only today, but also in the future. |
| Facility Management |
| The Facility Management team provides a menu of services for facilities owned
and occupied by corporate clients. This team of specialists focuses on bringing
experience and professional facility management resources and procedures to
the practice of managing corporate owned and occupied facilities. The goal of
this team is to deliver the highest level of service to space users and to create
greater efficiency at reduced costs. |
| Construction Management |
| The Construction Management team performs construction management
and project management services related primarily to the construction or
renovation of clients’ facilities. This specialty provides the Network’s clients
with estimating, budgeting, scheduling, project management, general
contracting and value engineering services. Construction Management
specialists often contribute significantly to Tenant Representation assignments
as team members are called upon to address many issues related to the build-
out of the client’s facilities. |
| Development Management |
| The Development Management team acts as the “Quarterback” in managing
the development of commercial real estate. This team typically conducts its business
either for clients who want to own or occupy the property or for
corporate or institutional clients who want to enter into joint ventures. |
| Finance/Investment Banking |
| The Finance Team is the real estate investment-banking arm of the Network.
This group serves the real estate finance and transaction needs of major
corporate and institutional clients. Additionally, they assist local, regional
and national developers by bringing capital and negotiating expertise to the
acquisition, financing and sale of major real estate assets. |
| Portfolio Management |
| The CORE Network’s portfolio management system is utilized to provide lease
administration and portfolio management to corporate clients with numerous
facilities both leased and owned. Additionally, our management system
provides a complex tracking system for institutional clients to assess the value
of their portfolio and track expirations within their projects. This complex and
proprietary system allows not only for database management of a company
or institution’s portfolio, but a comprehensive analysis of that data to allow
our clients to make more informed business decisions while providing greater
access to available information relative to their real estate portfolio. The
CORE Network has the ability to create a customized administrative system
and provide all aspects of monitoring and updating of that system. If desired,
we can provide this system to the client in a finished format so that they
can internally administer a ready-made system, or the network can provide
complete outsourcing of these functions. |
| Strategic Planning Services |
| Strategic service specialists help corporations and professional organizations
develop effective longrange strategies for their real estate activities. Strategic
planning professionals employ a range of unique analytical methods to identify
significant real estate opportunities and integrating those opportunities within
the broader business and financial objectives of these clients. |
| Advisory |
| The Advisory Team encompasses all of the activities of each firm related to
the investment in and management of our clients’ real estate assets. This
advisory team is utilized in a long-range advisory capacity to assist our clients
in strategic placement of funds and to allow them to maximize their return on
investment and position themselves for growth into the twenty-first century.
Additionally, this advisory team will assist corporate users of real estate on
how to better utilize their in-house real estate functions, or if outsourcing
should be utilized and to what capacity. These services are typically provided
on a consulting basis. The advisory team’s purpose is to forge long term
relationships with our clients while providing value added advice. |
| Research, Analysis and Planning |
| Research, analysis and planning are fundamental to all aspects of our business.
The ability to provide our corporate clients with meaningful market data
is crucial to understanding the cyclical nuances of the real estate market.
By pooling The CORE Network members’ knowledge and expertise, each an
authority in their respective market areas, we are able to fully comprehend
and anticipate trends and participate with our clients in the planning and
implementation of their real estate objectives. The research departments at
each of the respective member firms are staffed with experienced personnel
who collect and maintain current data critical to our clients. This information
includes historical transaction and ownership records, leasing and occupancy
statistics, product availability, as well as economic trends and indicators. |
