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!

The challenges to this transaction were the usual: find a building in with adequate truck positions at a reasonable price. Roese delivered with a 7-year lease with fixed cost-of-living adjustments at a "Class A" building-- just at a time when the South Bay lease rates were beginning to skyrocket.

But the real magic to this deal came in its packaging.

Roese Enterprises presented a comprehensive Request for Proposal offering extensive financial analysis. We also took time to emphasize the client's strong customer relationships with many Fortune 500 companies.

Finally, we introduced UBS Financial Services to securitize the transaction. A $21,360 "Roese Rebate" made an already sweet deal that much sweeter.

Z Gallerie is a highly successful retail chain that has grown from humble beginnings to be one of the premier retail powerhouses in the United States.

Roese Enterprises has been there to assist them every step of the way for over a decade. We were retained on an exclusive basis to coordinate the purchase of a 120,000 square foot building in the South Bay.

What made this transaction particularly challenging was the demand for “South Bay pricing” with Westside access. Roese delivered with a building that was exactly 120,000 squared feet on almost 13 acres, allowing Z Gallerie to carry out their plans to almost double their size after just a few years.

Subsequently Roese Enterprises negotiated the lease of an additional 150,000 cross-dock facility as wells as a state-of-the-art 264,000 square foot facility in Atlanta, Georgia.

BAX Global (formerly Burlington Air Express) is one of the premier global logistics firms, specializing in air and ocean freight together will the full spectrum of logistics and supply chain management.

This assignment involved the subleasing of a 52,000 square foot in the heart of LAX. Despite one of the deepest downturns of the last two decades, Roese was able to sublease the premises within 60 days at the asking price.

What made this transaction particularly interesting? The subtenant was Consolidated Freightways, a subsidiary of Emery Airfreight, one of the client's fiercest competitors. Despite this tense environment, Roese was able to negotiate terms that were fair to all sides and the transaction was completed successfully.

* This transaction was negotiated by Roese Enterprises' broker while still affiliated with The Goodglick Company.

Those familiar with the LAX market understand how difficult is to deliver quality space in excess of 25,000 square feet. Often there are no alternatives.

Roese Enterprises was retained and within a brief period of time provided not one but three workable alternatives.

An environment was created whereby the various property owners bidded for the client's business. In the end the Roese negotiated an 11 year lease at a "Class-A" building totaling 112,815 square feet where the client is situated to this day.

Monico Alloys is one of the United States' leading importers and exporters of high-tech specialty metals for recycling. Monico retained Roese on an exclusive basis to locate and negotiate the purchase of a secondary facility in Orange County for one of their subsidiaries.

Roese delivered with a 43,000 square foot facility that was ideal for Monico's processing and distribution requirements. Additionally, Roese was able to negotiate this building purchase at a below-market rate in a market experiencing dramatic price increases.

Many of you are no doubt familiar with this very popular brand as it is prominently displayed at The Cheesecake Factory, Four Seasons and other notable establishments.

Roese Enterprises was instrumental in the client's transition from a cramped 8,000 facility to spacious 25,000 square foot headquarters, production and distribution facility in the South Bay.

Partly as a result of this successful transition the client was able to rapidly increase both their volume and visibility. This rapid growth led the way for their eventual acquisition by a major foodservice company and the completion of principals' exit strategy.

Roese Enterprises orchestrated the client's expansion from a sublease of 27,000 square feet to 52,416 square feet in a rare cross-dock building in the LAX area.

The struggle in this transaction was that the property owner was initially dead-set against the expansion, as they believed the property could be re-developed into a higher and better use.

After weeks of negotiations Roese Enterprises was ultimately able to secure favorable terms for a long-term direct lease for our client.

What sets this transaction apart from others isn't that we helped a client meet their growth needs by doubling their available space. Nor is it because we helped them transition from a "B Grade" port location to a "Class A" distribution building in Santa Fe Springs, California.

What made this transaction truly unique was that we had to foresight to negotiate a solid first-right-of-refusal that allowed them to gain control over and adjacent unit after just one month after signing the lease in the new building.

A Roese Rebate resulting from the exclusive representation of over $6,700 was the icing on the cake.
