CASE STUDY RAM PLAZA BROKERAGE & MANAGEMENT SIGNIFICANT ACCOMPLISHMENTS: 5 new leases signed in 16 months with credit tenants. Stabilization achieved despite disruptive foreclosure process. Successful disposition through national Auction.com platform with 14 bids by 5 local/regional/national bidders. DECEMBER 2012:, an attractive 16,181 square foot unanchored retail strip center is located on Broadway Avenue, close to downtown Boise, Parkcenter s prestigious business parks and the Boise State University campus. This highly visible center enjoys a strong daytime population but in 2008, the project and its tenants were significantly impacted by the recession that gripped the local and national economies. Thornton Oliver Keller was awarded the leasing and management of the property by LNR Property LLC after it foreclosed on in December 2010. The property s performance was severely anemic and vacancy surpassed 60%. LNR, the country s largest commercial real estate investment provider, tasked Thornton Oliver Keller with attracting and filling the center with credit tenants. The Retail brokerage team of Mark Schlag and Ben Zamzow began a targeted, aggressive marketing campaign showcasing the project to both the local brokerage community and national retailers who complimented the center s customer demographic. Simultaneously, Candice Ranson-Hartman, the project s Property Manager, utilized exceptional efforts to remedy latent property issues (landscaping, parking, signage and power supply) while building a strong, personal rapport with both prospective and existing tenants. Within 18 months, the brokerage and property management teams had stabilized the property (only 2,700 square feet was available), dropping vacancy to 17%. Mark and Ben successfully signed five new leases with tenants Extreme Pizza, My Fit Foods, Palm Beach Tan and Qdoba. Candice s management strategy contributed greatly as existing tenants opted to stay in the project despite five different tenant build-out projects which necessitated numerous contractors and construction issues on site, for months. s ownership was so pleased with Thornton Oliver Keller s results that it decided to offer the property for sale through Auction.com in September 2012. Once again, a targeted marketing strategy inclusive of local and national parties delivered multiple strong offers. A winning bid was secured by a local investor in November 2012. Extensive knowledge of the property and leasing results solidified Thornton Oliver Keller s ability to retain both brokerage and property management services under the new ownership.
