Roese Enterprises - Air Freight - Commercial Real Estate


With almost 2 million metric tons of cargo flowing through it's gates in 2005, Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is presently the busiest cargo airport in the United States and the 8th busiest in the world. This type of volume would be impossible without the concerted effort of hundreds of companies committed to excellence. Most Air Freight operations run 24/7/365. Planning a facility relocation for an Air Freight client therefore requires impeccable planning and seamless execution. It's very common to have to make a complete transition from one facility to another over a single weekend. Locations must typically be located with just a few miles from a primary airport. These areas are notorious for very limited inventory levels and very high lease and sale rates. The lessons learned over almost 20 years of service to this industry permit us to provide unparalleled service. Roese Enterprises can help you to balance demands of proximity to the airport versus higher cost to locate the ideal facility for your specific needs. We'll help you to tailor the exact parameters of your requirement then assist you to locate the perfect building. Please contact us today and permit us to help you balance demands of proximity to the airport versus higher cost to locate the ideal facility for your specific needs.

Circle Air Freight (now owned by EGL Eagle Global Logistics) wanted to purchase a building adjacent to LAX. It had to be at least 85,000 feet in size with approximately 25,000 square feet of office space.

The problem: this property simply did not exist in the LAX area.

To solve this dilemma, Roese negotiated a redevelopment land transaction with the City of Inglewood to assemble a land site of 118,000 square feet. Next, Roese introduced the design/build firm of Ware Malcomb to design truly a one-of-a-kind 93,000 square foot airfreight building, complete with secured rooftop parking.

This is a classic example where a client's retention of Roese Enterprises as their exclusive broker ended up saving them thousands of dollars each month while simultaneously reducing their leasehold liability -- plus they collected a nice "Roese Rebate" at the conclusion of the transaction.

By taking this client into the marketplace Roese Enterprises was able to persuade their landlord to come to negotiating table in earnest,

despite the fact that the client had been a tenant at their existing property for 20 years.

Roese Enterprises was able to reduce their base rent from 92¢ to 70¢ per square foot and reduce their leased space from 36,000 to 24,000 square feet, saving the client almost $15,840 every month, over $950,000 over the course of a five year lease!
