David Sears Plans to Expand Retail at Trammel Crow DAVID Sears is exactly where he wants to be: managing Trammell Crow Co.'s success in the red-hot Los Angeles office market. "We have had tremendous wins as an organization," said Sears, who has just been promoted to chief financial officer of the commercial real estate services company's Southern California business unit. He will manage institutional clients, focusing on portfolio management, acquisitions and strategic planning. Sears believes Trammell Crow sets itself apart from its competition by offering more services as a sort of "one-stop-shop" for real estate, including property management and development services. In many cases, the competition is brokerage firms, which concentrate on only one area of real estate, Sears said. Recently, Trammel Crow was retained by the Los Angeles Unified School District The Los Angeles Unified School District (the "LAUSD") is the largest (in terms of number of students) public school system in California and the second-largest in the United States. Only the New York City Department of Education has a larger student population. to help the district find a new headquarters. In this capacity, Trammell Crow is offering advice, strategic planning and support services support services Psychology Non-health care-related ancillary services–eg, transportation, financial aid, support groups, homemaker services, respite services, and other services . The company currently manages around 45 million square feet of commercial space in Los Angeles, the bulk of which is office and industrial space. One area in which Sears would like to see Trammell Crow raise its profile in Los Angeles is the retail sector -- it currently manages the Citadel outlet mall. "Today our retail group is thriving (nationwide,)" said Sears. "We see tremendous opportunities in Los Angeles." One challenge facing Sears in his new position is recruiting and retaining top-caliber real estate talent. Many of the best and brightest employees left the real estate business in the lean years of 1990-1994, and that void has not been totally filled. "One of the shortest resources that real estate has in Los Angeles today are qualified real estate professionals," said Sears. Norinne De Gal |
