CB Richard Ellis Project Management Wins Contract With TIAA-CREF on New Sweet Tomatoes Restaurant


ORLANDO, FL - CB Richard Ellis, worldwide leader in commercial real estate services, is pleased to announce a new project management agreement with TIAA-CREF to serve as the owner's representative in the construction of a new, ground-up, Sweet Tomatoes Restaurant. Upon completion, the new restaurant will stand in the existing Crossroads Shopping Center at Lake Buena Vista in Orlando, Florida.

Those responsible for this big win at CB Richard Ellis were, Dave Kreinest, Managing Director of the Project Management Division, Brit Christian, (photo at right) Director of Project Management for Florida, and Nick Boehme, (photo at left) Project Manager in Orlando. They closed the agreement by supporting TIAA-CREF in work letter negotiations, design oversight, and pre-construction planning. Nick Boehme, as their single point of contact, will oversee site modifications and construction of the 7,500 square foot building which is expected to be complete by the fourth quarter of 2008.

Nick Boehme states, "We were able to help our client take advantage of the remaining development potential in the existing shopping center. By leveraging the great relationships that CBRE has with vendors in the construction industry, we helped pass on savings in time and money to TIAA-CREF. The addition of a nationally recognized restaurant combined with the strategic location near Orlando's attractions will candidly draw in more consumers to the property."
