Host of CFO Studio and CEO of Real Estate Strategies Corporation, Andrew Zezas, to Present “Buy and Sell-Side M&A: Re-Deploying Real Estate to Capture Hidden Profits and Eliminate Risk”
(Somerset, New Jersey): CFO Studio and Real Estate Strategies Corporation announced today that Andrew Zezas, SIOR, host of CFO Studio, the popular online video program, Publisher of CFO Studio Magazine, and CEO of Real Estate Strategies Corporation, will present “Buy and Sell-Side M&A: Re-Deploying Real Estate to Capture Hidden Profits and Eliminate Risk” at a professional development session for New Jersey area CFOs on March 7, 2012. The event, expected to draw finance executives from public and private companies throughout the tri-state area, will be sponsored by the New Jersey chapter of Financial Executives International (FEI). Attendees will receive continuing professional education credits free of charge. The event will be held at 7:30 AM at the Hanover Manor in East Hanover, New Jersey.
“With the U.S. economy showing signs of improvement and with private-equity investors eager to exit investments made prior to the economic downturn, many in the M&A world are preparing for increased buy and sell activities in the near term” said Andrew Zezas. He continued “With the rapid pace of M&A deals and increased pressure on CFOs to extract maximum value from such transactions, the leased and owned real estate that is often a part of acquisitions and dispositions can be redeployed to increase profits and mitigate risks. We’re very excited to present to FEI and to leverage our knowledge and resources to assist in the continuing professional development of the New Jersey area CFO community.”

A European Pharmaceuticals Company Swaps U.S. HQ Office Space
Real Estate Strategies Corporation Advises Pharma Company Again, and Assists in Achieving Operating Efficiencies in Unusual Headquarters Transaction
(Somerset, New Jersey): Andrew Zezas, SIOR, President and CEO of Real Estate Strategies Corporation, the New Jersey based corporate real estate advisory and transaction services firm, announced today that our client has swapped a portion of their Company’s headquarters office space at 265 Davidson Avenue, Somerset, NJ, with other space in that building. In an unusual transaction designed to enhance the European Pharmaceuticals Company’s operating efficiencies, the pharma company traded a portion of the office space it occupied at the above building with a vacant unit on another floor.
“Our client’s combined increase in operating efficiencies and the Company’s continued growth required it to right-size its U.S. headquarters space. As a result, we arranged for our client to swap some of its former office space with vacant space on another floor, which was adjacent to space the Company already occupied” said Andrew Zezas. He added “As a result, the combination of trading spaces and reducing the total amount of real estate our client will occupy, created substantial operating efficiencies and will lead to cost reduction and other benefits, as well.”
In 2008, our client achieved substantial financial and operational benefits when Real Estate Strategies Corporation represented the pharma company’s real estate interests in the renegotiation of its U.S. HQ office lease at the same location. http://realstratnews.wordpress.com/2010/05/07/real-estate-strategies-corporation-prescribes-a-lease-extension-for-meda-pharmaceuticals/

Real Estate Strategies Corporation Completes Distribution Center Lease Transactions on East and West Coasts
A Tale of Two Commercial Real Estate Markets for Global Manufacturer
(Somerset, New Jersey): Andrew Zezas, SIOR, President and CEO of Real Estate Strategies Corporation, announced today that the New Jersey based corporate real estate advisory and transaction services firm completed two distribution center lease transactions for a global manufacturing client in Fairfield, California and Andover, Massachusetts.
In the first transaction, Real Estate Strategies Corporation restructured a distribution center lease for its client, securing greater flexibility and reducing occupancy costs by over forty percent. In the second transaction, Real Estate Strategies Corporation relocated its client’s distribution facility from 140,000 square feet in Woburn, Massachusetts to a 42,000 square foot high-ceiling, maximum efficiency distribution facility on the Andover and Tewksbury, Massachusetts border.
“Real Estate Strategies Corporation’s service model maximizes its clients’ abilities to secure efficient and cost-effective distribution, manufacturing, research, office, and other facilities on flexible transaction terms anywhere in North America” said Andrew Zezas. He added “In the last two years, in addition to having achieved great successes for our clients in New Jersey, we’ve completed industrial and office transactions totaling over 1.5 million square feet in 19 North American markets outside the State, in both the U.S. and Canada. In this particular case, we’re happy to have achieved our client’s business and real estate objectives on both sides of the continent.” Mr. Zezas continued “On the west coast engagement, through aggressive negotiations and by applying our knowledge of local market over-supply to our client’s advantage, we achieved significant financial results for our client, a European based manufacturer of imaging products and chemicals. On the east coast, by deploying our client’s own logistical criteria in conjunction with our intelligent transaction planning and execution, our client achieved extremely beneficial outcomes on various levels.”
