Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) April 30, 2012

While retailers, developers and retail real estate service providers are busy preparing for the annual, four-day ICSC RECon frenzy from May 20 – 23 in Las Vegas, SRS Real Estate Partners (SRS) Corporate Services team is answering the question What might conference attendees expect to experience?

SRS observed a consistent theme throughout RECon 2011: optimism, which was displayed by the nearly 30,000 ICSC members in attendance and it was the first time in several years that retailers and developers were cautiously discussing deals. Now that it is spring of 2012, SRS is seeing that cautious discussions have turned into actual completed deals. Retailers of all sizes, both in terms of store footprint and current store count, have launched measured store expansion and relocation programs as well as downsize initiatives. SRS brokerage team is reporting a marked increase in new store activity across all 22 offices nationwide.

Among the many reasons for this activity, SRS notes that last years large inventory of vacant junior anchor space, as a result of the demise of Linens and Things, Circuit City and Borders, has been reduced. This year the result of less vacant space, increasing developer flexibility and lower interest rates has helped to foster a store growth environment for retailers.

SRS Corporate Services team is experiencing an increased demand from retailers for both lease administration and lease restructuring and renegotiation services. Not only has the team been involved in base rent restructuring when dealing with upcoming option periods for clients; but also they have seen an increase in negotiations for downsized footprints with the landlord recapturing space within the existing footprint. Retailers are focused on occupancy cost reduction and the SRS Lease Administration team audits those expenses to keep costs down.

We expect that RECon 2012 will be full of positive results, said Stan Heller, executive vice president and market leader for the SRS Corporate Services team. Retailers, developers and retail real estate service providers will be focused on well-defined expansion, relocation and restructuring plans.

The corporate services team at SRS Real Estate Partners focuses on a singular mission: helping clients significantly reduce existing portfolio occupancy costs while mitigating portfolio risk. The dedicated and deeply experienced teams focus exclusively on lease administration, lease renewal and restructuring and portfolio disposition. On average, SRS Corporate Services saves clients 1 to 2 percent of their annual occupancy costs.

SRS Real Estate Partners will be available for meetings during the ICSC RECon convention. To schedule a meeting to discuss SRS Corporate Services, please contact Stan Heller at stan(dot)heller(at)srsre(dot)com.

Berkeley, CA (PRWEB) April 24, 2012

Oakland luxury real estate company, The Grubb Company, serving Berkeley, Oakland and Piedmont, recently celebrated Bernard Maybecks 150th anniversary by touring of one of Maybecks largest East Bay homes, the Guy Hyde Chick House in Oakland. A luminary of American architecture, Maybeck is described as independent, visionary, dramatic and eclectic, and is particularly prized in the San Francisco Bay Area, where the majority of his masterworks can be found.

The character and soul of a Maybeck is truly unique, and I wanted our agents to experience the details that make Maybeck a true pioneer of todays green living movement, DJ Grubb of The Grubb Company said.

Art collector Foster Goldstrum, who has been the owner and loving caretaker of this showcase for more than 30 years, was generous in providing a private tour. Mark Wilson, an architectural historian whose new book Bernard Maybeck Architect of Elegance was published last August, joined the group to share his insights into the full body of Maybecks work.

Shortly after touring the Guy Hyde Chick House, The Grubb Company was asked to list one of Maybecks most unusual homes, the Kennedy-Nixon house, also known as the Maybeck Recital Hall, on the north side of Berkeley.

The Kennedy-Nixon house has had only three owners. Built by the the Nixon family in 1914 as a live-in studio, it was designed to include a recital hall, a waiting area for students parents, a reception room with a small kitchen and an upstairs sleeping quarters. The recital hall, with its cathedral windows and clear-heart unfinished redwood paneling became well known for its pristine acoustics.

When Ms. Nixon died in 1980, jazz pianist Dick Whittington purchased the property with the intent of creating a commercial concert venue. Over the next 15 years, Concord Records recorded 42 solo piano recitals and 10 jazz duets in the Maybeck Recital Hall. Finally, in 1996, Gregory Moore, a young music composer, became the new owner after Dick Whittington put the Maybeck Recital Hall on the market.

I believe that the house tells you about living in it, such as the way the sun moves through the house throughout the day, encouraging me to move with it, Moore said. After a while, I realized that without thinking about it, I started each day in the kitchen, moved to the living room and ended up in the Recital Hall at the west end of the house. Even after 15 years, there are things I learn about the house that surprise me.

Angela Grubb, who will be representing Moore, sees this opportunity as an honor.

What better way to celebrate Maybecks 150th anniversary than to help one of his homes find its new owner, Angela Grubb said.

To learn more about Bernard Maybeck and his works, look for one of these books: Bernard Maybeck Architect of Elegance by Mark A. Wilson, 2011; Bernard Maybeck: Visionary Architect by Sally Byrne Woodbridge, 2006; and Bernard Maybeck. Artisan, Architect, Artist by Kenneth H. Cardwell, 1996.
