Commercial Real Estate Group of Tucson, LLC

ITRA Global, one of the largest real estate organizations devoted to the representation of corporate tenants and occupiers of commercial real estate worldwide, has announced that Louisiana Economic Development (LED) will sponsor the ITRA Global 2012 Corporate Real Estate Symposium  on September 12, 2012 at the Park Plaza Victoria London, 239 Vauxhall Bridge Road, in London, England.

Dr. Ronald R. Pollina, Chairman Emeritus of ITRA Global and President of Chicago-based ITRA / Pollina Corporate Real Estate, Inc., says the event will be a tremendous resource for company executives who must navigate a significantly changed global marketplace. “Louisiana is an excellent example of the kinds of states that will be featured at the Symposium. Under the leadership of Governor Jindal, Louisiana has risen like a rocket. In 2008, Louisiana ranked 40th in our annual Pollina Corporate Top 10 Pro-Business States ranking, rising to 18th place in 2011. This phenomenal rate of improvement as a location for business places the state in a position to be a true international competitor for jobs,” he explains.

Stephen Moret, Secretary of Louisiana Economic Development, says Louisiana embraces the opportunity to share the state’s remarkable economic momentum with corporate executives from around the world at the ITRA conference in London.

“We’re excited about our opportunity to participate in the ITRA Global 2012 event and to share what’s made Louisiana the new frontier for business opportunity. In addition to transformational advantages in energy costs and supply, Louisiana boasts the most improved business climate in the U.S., and our strategic business incentives are attracting major corporate projects, such as CenturyLink’s headquarters expansion and GE Capital’s technology center, along with world-scale manufacturing investments from such companies as Nucor, Sasol, Sempra, SNF and ConAgra,” Moret explains.

Divided into two sessions, “Doing Business in the Americas” is a premier all-day event featuring top corporate executives and economic development officials from around the world. One session will include economic development executives from government agencies in the Americas, who will address issues ranging from labor availability and costs, to transportation capabilities, taxation and much more for companies moving into their regions, along with other facility and location factors. The other panel, comprised of top global corporate executives, will help European companies understand how to increase their competitive advantage and profits with corporate real estate and obtain a better understanding of facility availability, build-to-suit and leasing vs. ownership options in the Americas today.

ITRA Global, one of the largest real estate organizations devoted to the representation of corporate tenants and occupiers of commercial real estate worldwide, has announced that ProMéxico will join the Economic Development Panel at the ITRA Global 2012 Corporate Real Estate Symposium on September 12, 2012 at the Park Plaza Victoria London, 239 Vauxhall Bridge Road, in London, England.

Debra Stracke Anderson, Chairman Emeritus of ITRA Global and Chairman of the Symposium Committee, says the event will be a tremendous resource for company executives who must navigate a challenging global marketplace significantly affected by recent economic crises.

“ProMéxico is an example of the results of that change,” she explains, “because it was only recently established as the agency in charge of attracting foreign direct investment. Mexico represents a growing and increasingly important market in Latin America for European companies looking to expand their global capabilities.”

His Excellency José Neif Jury Fabre, Trade Commissioner of Mexico and head of the ProMéxico office in London, says the Symposium provides his economic development organization with a unique opportunity to interact with executives from around the globe who influence relocation and expansion decisions.

“ProMéxico has been recognized by UNCTAD as one of the best investment promotion agencies (IPA) in the world. We have several programs to help companies establish themselves in our country, independently of the natural advantages that our country offers already,” José Neif explains. ProMéxico is the Mexican Government institution in charge of strengthening Mexico’s participation in the international economy. With this objective in mind, the institution supports the export activity of companies established in the country and coordinates actions to attract foreign direct investment to national territory, sharing its locational benefits for business, including transportation capabilities – with easy seaport access through the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean.

TORONTO, CANADA—ITRA Global, one of the largest real estate organizations devoted to the representation of corporate tenants and occupiers of commercial real estate worldwide, has announced that the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development and Innovation will sponsor the ITRA Global 2012 Corporate Real Estate Symposium on September 12, 2012 at the Park Plaza Victoria London, 239 Vauxhall Bridge Road, in London, England. Jean-Noel Mermet, International Business Development Representative for the Ministry, will be a featured panelist.

Brad Goegan, President and Managing Principal of ITRA / Nidea Realties Corporation Limited, Brokerage in Toronto, says the insights of Jean-Noel Mermet about doing business in Canada will be an extremely valuable resource for Symposium attendees. “European corporate executives face possible obstacles both physically and culturally,” he explains. “This Symposium is a distinctive occasion for European executives considering expansion or relocation in the Americas to learn more about the commercial real estate climate and simply how to do business on this side of the pond. They will learn how conflict-free site selection maximizes profits in a world where volatility has become the norm.”

Jean-Noel Mermet says the Symposium also presents a unique opportunity for Ontario to meet a large number of European corporate executives and build successful relationships. “With European companies looking now more than ever to capitalize on reliable and expanding North American opportunities,” he explains, “the ITRA Global Corporate Real Estate Symposium offers corporate decision makers access to the expertise they need to find the right locations for expansion and growth.

“The information and assistance available at the event to help globally expanding companies navigate the myriad of government and market complexities will be invaluable to ensure the implementation of successful and profitable entry strategies,” he adds. “Knowledge-based industries need access to a large pool of educated, skilled and reliable workers. They find those workers in Ontario. Companies in every sector leverage Ontario’s R&D advantage to develop breakthrough products, services and technologies. Market access also is a key advantage as people and goods move quickly and seamlessly in and out of Ontario.”

Ontario, Canada has become a leading destination for global investment and business growth. In 2010, the editors of Site Selection Online, a magazine focused on corporate real estate strategy and area economic development, chose Ontario as the recipient of the Canadian Competitiveness Award for province-level economic development activity. The award further solidified Ontario’s reputation as one of the most competitive jurisdictions in the industrialized world for new investment.

Divided into two sessions, “Doing Business in the Americas” is a premier all-day event featuring top corporate executives and economic development officials from around the world. One session will include Ontario’s Jean-Noel Mermet and economic development executives from government agencies in the Americas, who will address issues ranging from labor availability and costs, to transportation capabilities, taxes and much more for companies moving into their regions, along with other facility and location factors. The other panel, comprised of top corporate executives, will help European companies understand how to increase their competitive advantage and profits with corporate real estate and obtain a better understanding of facility availability, build-to-suit and leasing vs. ownership options in the Americas.

Taking some of our own best advice, ITRA / CARMEN Commercial Real Estate Services has relocated its office to Keystone at the Crossing. The new office is not only home to the CARMEN team, but to a growing number of start-up companies to whom CARMEN is renting affordable office space complete with furnishings, internet, and all the amenities that Keystone at the Crossing has to offer.

For nearly 20 years, CARMEN has been the real estate partner to many of Indianapolis’ most successful tech companies throughout their growth. By providing low-cost office space for some of Indy’s newest emerging companies, CARMEN’s commitment to real estate services in an even broader sense is being realized. CARMEN is also piloting a “loaner program” of office furnishings for young client companies who are moving beyond the “incubator” stage, but who are still allocating most of their resources to development and need some assistance furnishing their first private office.

“Our sole focus has always been on the services we provide our tenant clients,” said Chris Carmen, President of ITRA / CARMEN Commercial Real Estate. “And the start-up space and furniture loaner program are great additions to the scope of services we can provide for our emerging business clients.” The new address is 8831 Keystone Crossing, Indianapolis, IN 46240.
