ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 11, 2009-- Transwestern today announced that it has been selected by RREEF to take over the property management of 1,773,174 million square feet of its Georgia portfolio, which RREEF owns on behalf of their institutional clients.

Prior to the selection of Transwestern, the majority of the properties had been managed directly by RREEF, which is transitioning out of third party management, but will continue as the asset manager.

According to Bruce Ford, (top right photo) Transwestern’s Southeast region leader and executive vice president, “We are pleased to be awarded this prestigious portfolio. RREEF is a company we have long worked with and admired.

"We also have a common culture, so this is a natural fit for us. By partnering up on this particular portfolio assignment, we are certain we can deliver the best possible results for RREEF’s institutional clients and the building tenants.”


The transition of the portfolio to Transwestern is expected to be completed by the end of 2009.
