CresaPartners Increases Coverage in Central Florida with Strictly Commercial Merger

ORLANDO, FL— CresaPartners, North America’s largest corporate real estate advisory firm that exclusively represents tenants, has merged operations with Strictly Commercial, Central Florida’s long-standing, solutions-based tenant representative firm.

The merger strengthens CresaPartners’ coverage in Florida, and aligns Strictly Commercial with a like-minded firm with international resources.

“Strictly Commercial prides itself on real estate consultancy, which is not the typical transaction-oriented brokerage mentality,” said John Gay, (top left photo) principal and co-founder, Strictly Commercial. “We’ve worked with CresaPartners throughout the years, and know they share the same mind-set and commitment to tenant representation, which is increasingly rare in this industry. CresaPartners gives us the best opportunity to expand our capabilities while remaining true to our roots.”

“We are excited to be able to extend such a broad range of services—site selection, lease administration, transaction management and project management— to our clients in addition to the personalized representation we’ve been offering,” said Sarah Castor, (top right photo) principal and co-founder, Strictly Commercial.

Established in 1989, Strictly Commercial has worked on a myriad of projects, ranging from securing the right offices for area businesses to large build-to-suits for global companies.

Clients include Precision Response Corporation, Charles Schwab & Company, Independent Bankers’ Bank of Florida, Fiserv Solutions and Fidelity National Financial, to name a few.
“Strictly Commercial has an excellent client base and reputation in the greater Orlando market,” said Bill Goade, (middle right photo) CEO, CresaPartners.

“We’re confident the office will grow and prosper with CresaPartners’ depth of resources and the continued leadership of John Gay and Sarah Castor.”

CresaPartners has more than 125 offices worldwide, including two in Florida. CresaPartners’ new greater Orlando office is located at 221 NE Ivanhoe Boulevard, Suite 330, in Orlando. The greater Miami office is located at 1200 Brickell Avenue, Suite 750, in Miami.

CresaPartners is an international corporate real estate advisory firm that exclusively represents tenants and specializes in the delivery of fully integrated real estate services, including: Transaction Management, Project Management, Relocation Planning and Management, Strategic Planning, Site Selection and Incentives, Subleases and Dispositions, Lease Administration, Capital Markets, and Facilities Consulting.

With more than 45 North American offices, CresaPartners is the largest pure tenant representation firm in the U.S. and Canada.
