CB Richard Ellis Enhances Tenant Services with Concierge Services
CB Richard Ellis has retained I’LL DO IT! Personal Concierge Services to provide tenants at 280 Plaza with personal and business concierge assistance.
Columbus, OH, July 27, 2005 --(PR.com)-- In the competitive Columbus real estate market, CB Richard Ellis continues to lead in property management by raising the bar for tenant services. CB Richard Ellis has retained I’LL DO IT! Personal Concierge Services to provide tenants at 280 Plaza with personal and business concierge assistance.
280 Plaza, owned by Nationwide and managed by CB Richard Ellis, is located at 280 High Street at Chestnut, in downtown Columbus. The 18-story building offers 319,596 rentable square feet and is = 92 percent occupied with tenants ranging from law firms, to insurance, to real estate, to various State agencies, and small businesses
I’LL DO IT! will offer building tenants personal concierge services including dry cleaning pick up and drop off, concert or sporting event ticket purchases, coordinating auto care, making moving arrangements, party planning and much more. I’LL DO IT! also provides professional services like word processing, data entry, mystery shopping, courier services, and business research.
While property managers have traditionally been geared more towards serving the landlord, the role has changed into one that takes a large part in recruiting and retaining tenants through a high level of service.
Gary L. Calliari, CPM/RPA, Senior Real Estate Manager for CB Richard Ellis, is in charge of 280 Plaza. He believes this is a big step in setting his company apart as the premier building management company. “CB Richard Ellis is always looking for ways to improve our offer to tenants and this is something that can truly enhance the working environment and offer flexibility to support the busy work schedules of all of the professionals in our building,” stated Calliari. Some CBRE properties across the U.S. have already implemented personal concierge services and the response from tenants has been incredible,” Calliari added.
The popularity of concierge services like I’LL DO IT! is on the rise due to the average professional’s increasingly busy home and work schedules. As the economy rebounds and businesses look for ways to recruit and retain employees, work-life balance issues are at the top of the list.
Stacey Wilkoff, president of I’LL DO IT! sees this service as a competitive advantage for CB Richard Ellis. “I have seen a significant increase in businesses interested in offering concierge services to employees,” she said. “By presenting this as a value add through the building management, it makes it that much easier for employers to assist their employees with work life balance,” she concluded.
I’LL DO IT! will begin service to tenants August 1.
