Redevelopment projects are another area of interest to us. Past accomplishments include the revitalization of individual buildings as well as those on a larger, multi-unit scale. Through our longevity in the East Bay market, we have compiled a thorough understanding of the detailed permitting process and an overall awareness of what it takes to get things done on this side of the Bay.
Another asset ECRE brings to the table is our extensive familiarity with the local contractor pool, in addition to the myriad area craftsmen and artisans. These are relationships built over time and trust, and are just part of the resource package we draw on to fulfill our goal of providing excellent service in the commercial real estate market, one client at a time.
