Atlanta Tenant Advisory Services

Overview Of TranswesTernTranswestern is a privately held, national commercial real es-

tate firm focused on creating value for our clients in each local

market we serve throughout the US.

We have a unique business model that combines fully integrated

services with investment opportunities and operates through

six distinct functional lines of business:

• Agency Leasing

• Property & Facility Management

• Investment Services

• Tenant Advisory

• Development

• Research

Since our founding in Houston, Texas in 1978, we have grown to become a leader in the commercial real

estate services industry. Today, Transwestern is ranked by real estate publications Commercial Property

News and National Real Estate Investor as one of the industry’s top brokerage firms, property managers,

and developers. National research firm Real Capital Analytics ranked us as one of the Top Three invest-

ment sales and financing companies in the country.

We are also a leader when it comes to energy and sustainability — Transwestern is leading the curve in

terms of “greening” commercial real estate, and our portfolio of LEED certified properties is the larg-

est in the country. We seek to create value from green practices and are

confident that doing the right thing makes good business sense and can

be profitable for us and our clients. As such, we’ve been named the win-

ner of the EPA’s top accolade, the ENERgy STAR “Sustained Excellence”

award, for the past five years in a row.

Today, Transwestern continues to grow, as we continue to strengthen our existing operations and seek

opportunities to expand into other markets. Our vision is to be the Number One real estate value creator

in America, and our mission is to consistently deliver unrivaled value to our clients by empowering our

people and fostering an entrepreneurial environment.

Atlanta Tenant Advisory Services

TranswesTern in aTLanTaTranswestern established an Atlanta op-

eration in 2002, initially focusing on pro-

viding owner clients with office leasing

and property management services. Over

the next few years, the firm selectively

recruited top talent in the marketplace

to add investment sales, tenant advisory,

healthcare, and construction/project

management expertise.

Today, Transwestern is one of Atlanta’s

leading full-service commercial real estate firms, consistently among

the top ten or better in the annual Atlanta Business Chronicle ranking

of the city’s top brokerages and property managers. Equally important,

Transwestern has been named one of Atlanta’s “Top Workplaces” two

years in a row by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

atlanta CapabilitiesAs a full-service location and the firm’s Southeastern regional headquarters, Transwestern is able to

provide clients with a comprehensive mix of experience and expertise. The following is a description

of the firm’s capabilities in Atlanta:

• Agency leasing and property marketing

• Property and facilities management

• Investment sales and financing

• Tenant advisory and corporate advisory services

• Construction and project management services

• Energy and sustainability services (Energy Star and LEED implementation and certification)

• Market research and financial analysis

2009–2011 MilestonesOver the course of what were perhaps the three most difficult years ever for our industry, Transwestern

grew significantly in Atlanta and the Southeast:

• Tripled the size of our property management portfolio

• Doubled the size of our overall leasing and management portfolio

• Doubled our number of brokerage professionals

• Doubled our overall employee headcount

• Doubled our number of regional offices

strategic, Proven approachOver the past 30 years, Transwestern has developed a success-

ful methodology to helping our clients reduce their real estate

costs, mitigate risk, and provide flexibility in their leases. All

of our tenant advisory assignments — relocation or renewal,

large or small requirement, local or national scope — align our

client’s real estate strategy with their overall business goals and

operational objectives. We offer a strong track record achieving

the following goals for our clients:

• Minimizing occupancy costs, capital outlays, and lease

liabilities

• Achieving operational and image/identity requirements

• Ensuring infrastructure flexibility to accommodate

future changes in technology and communications

• Retaining flexibility to adapt to expansion/contraction requirements that are needed due to

continual changes in the economic environment

• Achieving an efficient, creative work environment/layout that supports operations and aids in

the hiring and retention of employees

Transwestern’s five-phased process is designed to not only meet key real estate objectives but ensure

are exceeded by the level of our service throughout the assignment.

researCH serviCesTranswestern fully realizes the critical need for accurate and

timely information in order to provide recommendations to our

clients that are based on market realities. As such, we have made

a company-wide commitment to systematically collect, organize,

and analyze market data and other pertinent information.

Proprietary databases combine our professionals’ personal

market knowledge with information provided by third-party,

subscription-based research gathered by firms such as CoStar,

REIS, Real Capital Analytics, Moody’s/Economy.com, Hoover’s,

and others. The result is that Transwestern is able to accurately

determine values, recognize trends, and make accurate predic-

tions of where the market is heading.

In Atlanta and the Southeast, we have a full-time market research

professional who compiles research data into a wide variety of

reports, white papers, and presentations. He is supported by the company’s research affiliate, Delta As-

sociates. Based in Washington, DC, Delta is recognized as one of the top national research firms and

provides Transwestern’s clients with key national and regional economic and demographic data as well

as custom research studies for all commercial property types including office, industrial, retail, apart-

ments, condominiums, hotels, and senior and student housing.

“real Time” approachBy systematically collecting, organizing, and analyzing market data from a “street-level” perspective

provided by Transwestern’s professionals and combining this information with constantly-updated

data from national and local research subscription-based data providers, we offer clients a real-time

snapshot of a property or market and the trends that can affect their bottom line. Our ability to truly

add value comes from presenting clients with a number of creative alternatives to their unique real

estate requirements, many of them hidden from cursory market research techniques.

research servicesWe offer both our owner and tenant clients the following research information:

• Current and future availabilities, both direct and sublease

• Comparison analyses of pricing, concession packages, property systems, amenities, and more

• Company finance and executive organization (Dun & Bradstreet, Hoover’s, etc.)

• Demographic and locational analyses (drive time, employee locations, etc.)

sUsTainabiLiTy serviCesSince Transwestern’s inception, we have believed in doing what is right. Whether it is helping our clients make the right decision for their real estate investment, determining the best move for a ten-ant, or ensuring our team members have productive and rewarding careers — doing the right thing is who we are.

As our company evolved, we expanded that concept and began doing the right thing for the environment. An environmentally healthy building not only provides an improved bottom line, but it is the right thing to do. This is a philosophy which is not only closely held by our sustainability services group, but by each and every Transwestern team member.

We are taking action to reduce our environmental footprint by edu-cating the industry and providing clients with sustainable energy ef-ficient solutions for their real estate. For nearly 15 years, our energy management practices have consistently reduced operating costs across the Transwestern managed portfolio by an average of 20%.

Commitment To energy starTranswestern proactively embraces the ENERgy STAR® benchmarking program as a way to reduce property operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions. Our integrated approach allows us to quickly evaluate build-ings and enables us to make continuous improvements in the energy performance of the properties we manage, regardless of age or class of the building. Transwestern has benchmarked more than 1,700 buildings, totaling 45 million square feet, and has an average ENERgy STAR portfolio rating of 82. We are a multiple-year ENERgy STAR award winner and were the first third-party real estate services firm to win both the Partner of the year and Sustained Excellence awards.

Partnering with The UsgbCThe LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) green Building Rat-ing System™ is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. Administered by the US green Building Council (USgBC), the LEED rating system measures performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: site planning, water management, energy, material use and indoor environmental quality. The LEED rating system also recognizes and rewards innovative design and process. Our LEED certification of existing client projects totals one-third of all current national certifications. These efforts have saved more than 12 million gallons of water and reduced CO2 emissions by 166 million pounds. To date, the firm has LEED certified more than 38 properties across the U.S., totaling 14 million square feet, and is leading certification projects in such countries as China, Saudi Arabia and Brazil.
