ASSET MANAGEMENT
The
industry has changed and so has the approach to property
management.
Property management has always been
the foundation for the long-term
value enhancement of a
property. The members of the firm have more than 35 years
of combined experience in the development and management
of properties and projects
throughout the Southeast.
Yet,
the creative approach to the short and long term management
of the property
results in true value appreciation. To
accomplish this goal, careful attention must be paid
to all contract
services, vendor relationships and the scope of all work
and services
for the Property.
THE
DUNCAN COMPANIES takes this expertise a step further
by providing state of the art
accounting and fiscal management
services through its Timberline management software,
providing unique flexibility for each project assignment.
Therefore, the firm provides
an array of financial tools and reports
in order to benchmark the property operations
and to
create a financial strategic plan - again, working toward the
enhancement
of the value of the Property within the market.
From
maintenance and contract negotiations to interfacing with
lenders and investors,
THE DUNCAN COMPANIES provides
an overall asset management framework, tailor-made
for the
specific asset and the objectives of the Owner.
CONSTRUCTION
MANAGEMENT
THE
DUNCAN COMPANIES have built well over 1,000,000
square feet
of commercial structures and it is this experience
that is utilized in all construction
management assignments.
From 1,500 square foot office corporate interiors
and branch bank facilities, to the renovation of major office
and industrial buildings,
THE DUNCAN COMPANIES offers
management of all types of construction projects
and
is intimately involved with all phases of the construction
process.
Working
through the selection of an architect and the careful
negotiation of
a construction contract – these are just a
couple of the critical factors in managing
an office or retail
project. THE DUNCAN COMPANIES is committed to identifying
cost savings
approaches to construction and interior
build out and provides competitive bidding
for any and all
size projects.
OUTSOURCING
OF REAL ESTATE SERVICES
THE DUNCAN COMPANIES represents office and retail space users in the site selection, market orientation, lease negotiation and management of corporate and regional facilities throughout the United States.
In today's ever-changing economic climate, many national and regional firms have outsourced the real estate functions. They look to THE DUNCAN COMPANIES to provide the personnel and financial resources in serving as their "real estate department".
LEASING
AND BROKERAGE SERVICES
Marketing
is critical to the success of every project and today,
the marketing of a property
is significantly more than a
sign and marketing
materials.
With
its team of trained and experienced brokers, THE
DUNCAN COMPANIES analyzes
the characteristics of the
property and then
searches the market for the appropriate
user
and/or investor utilizing its existing and extensive database,
which is second to none.
All aspects of marketing
services are
incorporated into a package to reach the project
objective.
And no prospective user is left without great
attention and focus.
The
firm prepares a detailed marketing plan, incorporating
the marketing materials
and other vehicles to be utilized in
the marketing process. The implementation
of this marketing
plan however is
based upon the proactive and aggressive
efforts
of THE DUNCAN COMPANIES’ professionals,
who focus
on such an assignment on a continuous basis.
THE
MANAGEMENT AND MARKETING OF WORK-OUT PROPERTIES
THE
DUNCAN COMPANIES specializes in assisting financial
institutions
and government agencies in the management
and disposition of "troubled properties"
and those
properties held in
the "real estate owned" portfolio as a result
of user merger or consolidation.
The
firm incorporates its spectrum of services to efficiently
and cost-effectively reposition
these properties in the local
market and improve
their value for ultimate disposition.
A
marketing plan is
prepared for the user and such a plan is
carefully crafted to
maintain
the physical elements of the
property, increase
the occupancy of the property,
and identify
potential
users/purchasers for the property in a simultaneous
and highly correlated fashion.
This
approach to property management is different than
that of the third
party,
developer-owned property assignment
and
such requires a special focus in this arena. |
