SCOPE OF ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT RELATIONSHIP
CresaPartners has represented Vivendi Universal under a national exclusive for the past two years. During that time we have handled office space, warehouse/distribution and data center facilities. Assignments have included tenant representation, property disposition (sublease and sale), lease administration and strategic planning.

In December, 2000 Vivendi finalized the acquisition of Universal Studios, Inc. The combined entity includes Universal Music Group, Universal Music Publishing, Universal Studios, Havas and Canal Plus. The company occupies approximately 10,000,000 sf across 300 facilities in most major international markets.

We are currently working on several consolidation projects, some involving in excess of 10 facilities and square footages exceeding 500,000 sf.

The success of the partnership is due to:

  • Effective use of technology - allowing us to manage multiple projects involving large teams - via a web-based transaction management platform.

  • Real-time electronic status reports and transaction documents are available for review by the entire project team on a 24/7 basis.

  • The goal of the Global Real Estate Department is to focus their efforts on the larger, more strategic projects. We help them accomplish this in two ways: (a) We manage the smaller, non-strategic assignments from start to finish, so they don’t have to, and (b) we team with the GRE Department on larger, strategic assignments, working hand-in-hand on strategic planning, transaction management and project management.

  • Our account management team actively manages every assignment - we do not relinquish control to our local brokers. This ensures consistent process and results from one transaction to the next.

  • We are truly viewed as a partner, not a vendor. This is a function of the trust we have earned and the results we have produced.
