Ken Silberling has joined Commercial Florida Realty Services, LLC as a Principal, focusing on office leasing and investment sales.
Silberling had been Vice President of Leasing and Acquisitions and Director of Business Development at Danburg Management Corporation since 1999. At Danburg, a Boca Raton based commercial real estate investment and development firm, Silberling was instrumental in growing the portfolio from 150,000 to over 1 million square feet and completed well over 500 office and industrial lease transactions. Ken holds a Master of Business Administration from Georgetown University.
At Commercial Florida, Silberling rejoins George Sacks and Peter D. Reed, Principals of Commercial Florida Realty Services, with whom he had worked at the original Commercial Florida in the late 1990s. Sacks sold the assets of the original Commercial Florida to Grubb and Ellis in 1999, but re-formed the company in 2005. At Commercial Florida, Silberling will be looking to grow the company’s third party leasing and management business and source investment opportunities.
“I’m really excited to be back with George and Pete.” said Silberling “There is certainly a level of comfort and mutual respect. I feel our skills complement each other and that together we can provide a range of services that is unique to the market.”
“What I like about Commercial Florida 2.0 is that our platform now combines leasing, management and sales. We have an a-la-carte menu of services that we can tailor to a client’s need. In addition, we have all been involved from the ownership side, so we have a true understanding of what today’s real estate owner needs. And while we’re all a bit older and wiser, I’ve learned a few new tricks, so we’re at the cutting edge as far as marketing and technology.”
Commercial Florida has also resumed production of its semi-annual office market reports. “Our market information is what differentiated us and helped establish our brand back in the 90s” said Sacks. “While Co-Star and others have changed the landscape for data collection, the need for intuitive interpretation of the data is more important than ever. While Ken won’t be writing the reports like he did previously, he will certainly add his own unique and often entertaining perspective.” “It’s a lot easier to compile the data and create pretty graphics these days,” added Silberling, “but our real job is to translate the data into actions that will help owners maximize their property values. I believe we have the talent to do that as well as anyone in the market.”
T.J. R.M. Imports, a home design firm, is relocating from the Design Center of the Americas (DCOTA) in Dania Beach to KTR Hollywood, a 521,000-square-foot, 13-building, Class A flex park located on the west side of I-95 in Hollywood, Florida.
The building is within the newly formed South Florida Design Park area.
Scheduled for occupancy on November 1, 2012, T.J. R.M. Imports will occupy a total of 27,000 square feet for a 15-year term. The showroom space will encompass the entire space and is currently under construction. This new space represents an expansion of approximately 7,000 square feet from T.J. R.M. Imports’ current showroom.
“We are witnessing a trend where several home design firms are relocating out of the DCOTA, a campus that caters to design professionals, to take advantage of more competitively priced space and enhanced accessibility for the general public,” said Tom O’Loughlin of CBRE. “Consumers today want the same direct access to high-end warehouse showrooms as they have had in the past from design centers.”
T.J. R.M. Imports will join other leading firms such as Jerry Pair, Stark Carpet and J. Nelson to name a few.
O’Loughlin is a Senior Associate with CBRE, based in the Fort Lauderdale office. O’Loughlin was joined by Senior Vice President Harry Tangalakis in providing representation to the landlord, KTR Hollywood LLC.
The prime objective of the South Florida Office Brokers Association (SFOBA) is to give the participants an opportunity to network with their peers, get more information on what is available in the marketplace, and hopefully get pertinent market information from guest speakers, and research analysis for the area.
Our meetings are hosted, graciously, by our members. The host property gets exposure to market the space available in the building and for all to see it first hand.
There is no charge to be a member of the SFOBA, but it is for office brokers only.
If you are an office broker, and not yet a member of SFOBA, please let us know by leaving a comment below. Be sure to include your name and email address and we’ll be happy to add your name to our current email distribution list to keep you informed of upcoming meetings.
