Crossman & Company Releases ICSC 2010 Florida Retail Report

ORLANDO, Fla. --- Crossman & Company, one of the largest third-party retail leasing and management firms in the Southeast, presented the bi-annual ICSC Spring Florida Retail Report at the ICSC West Florida Idea Exchange in Tampa recently. Crossman & Company has produced the report on behalf of ICSC for the past 15 years. The report includes contributions from over 45 separate companies throughout the state.

“We have seen a return to stability in the market in the first half of 2010,” said Justin Greider, the primary author of the report. “In nearly every market of the state we have seen the freefall of rents and occupancy leveling off, indicating we may have found the bottom of the market, though significant challenges still remain for owners and retailers alike.”

The report notes that rental rates for the entire state average $14.27 for year-end 2010, down nearly 15 percent from the peak in the first quarter of 2008. Occupancy has leveled off at 89 percent, a decrease of about 6 percent from its peak in 2006.

“The outlook for the next 6-12 months is one of cautious optimism,” Greider said, “People throughout the state are very positive, but the recovery is going to be long and slow, and there is still a lot of over-valued product that has to work its way through the system.”

Hendricks & Partners Reports Sales of 3,302 Apartment Units in 2010

ORLANDO - The Orlando office of Hendricks & Partners, the nation’s largest multi-family advisory and research firm, reported it negotiated sales of 10 apartment properties in 2010 that total 3,302 units in the Southeast.

Cole Whitaker, partner who heads the Orlando office of Hendricks & Partners and oversees the firm’s operations throughout the Southeast, said he and associate partner Hal Warren negotiated all 10 multi-family property sales as well as sales of three Florida development sites that total 402 acres.

Multi-family property sales included two student housing properties, Whitaker said.

“We project that transactions involving apartment properties will increase in 2011 as the economy improves,” Whitaker said.

“We don’t foresee significant new construction region-wide,” Whitaker said, “however, in certain submarkets in the southeast, it makes sense to consider new multi-family development and we expect to see some new construction,” he said.

Data Transfer Solutions Reports Revenues, Sales More Than Doubled in 2010

ORLANDO, Fla. --- Data Transfer Solutions, LLC (DTS), based in Orlando’s Avalon Park, reported sales and revenues in 2010 doubled from 2009.

A.M. “Trey” Fragala III, AICP, PMP, chief operating officer at Data Transfer Solutions, said the firm reported $5 million in new sales in 2009. Sales in 2010 topped $11 million.

Among the larger projects from 2010, DTS developed a statewide environmental management system for the Tennessee Department of Transportation, conducted a 4,800 mile assessment of the city’s pavement and other related assets for the City of Charlotte, NC and deployed a statewide cultural resource and archeological management system for the State of Utah.

Moreover in 2010, DTS outfitted a second generation of its mobile asset collection (MAC) vehicle with the latest in digital video, GPS and pavement data collection equipment. The MAC 2.0 vehicle traveled from one end of the country to the other, performing projects in Oregon, Washington, North Carolina and Florida. Currently the van is collecting data in San Antonio, Texas and will then move to Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Data Transfer Solutions now has eight offices including Orlando, San Antonio, Dallas, Nashville, Fort Collins, Colo., Washington D.C., Portland, Ore., as well as Zurich, Switzerland.

Fragala said due to some recent project awards in the southwest, the company may be looking to open another regional office later in the year in either New Mexico or Arizona.

DTS provides asset management, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), transportation planning/engineering, web design, database/software applications, and video and multi media production services to local governments and regional and state agencies throughout the U.S.

Data Transfer Solutions, LLC, celebrates best quarter ever

ORLANDO - Data Transfer Solutions, LLC, (DTS) the Orlando-based firm that provides asset management, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), transportation planning, Web design, database applications, and video and multimedia production services to local governments and regional and state agencies throughout the U.S., reported its 2010 first quarter results rank among the company’s best since its founding in 2004.

A.M. “Trey” Fragala III, AICP, PMP, chief operating officer at Data Transfer Solutions, said the firm was awarded 28 new contracts in the first quarter ending March 31 and formalized 11 agreements called contract vehicles that may result in ongoing work assignments, the largest of which worth a potential $8M over five years.

In the largest single contract executed during the first quarter, DTS is developing unique GIS mapping technology that will help the Texas Forest Service identify forest lands susceptible to wildfire outbreaks. That contract is worth an estimated $360,000, Fragala said.

First quarter revenues grew by more than 28 percent over the same period last year, Fragala said.

“We are now working on more and larger individual projects than ever before,” Fragala said.

“We have established DTS as a dominant provider in several work areas that can substantially reduce the cost of government services just at the time when reducing the cost of government is a critical concern,” he said.

Fragala said DTS plans to expand one division---the firm’s Earth Eye subsidiary, which provides aerial and mobile LiDAR, orthophotography, and precision mapping, and may spin off another division--- as a subsidiary company as well.
