United Space Alliance Selects CresaPartners to Address Post-Shuttle Era Real Estate Needs in Houston and Cape Canaveral

BOSTON, MA—CresaPartners, North America’s largest corporate real estate advisory firm that exclusively represents tenants, has been selected to develop and execute a strategic plan for United Space Alliance’s (USA) facilities in the post-shuttle era.

Currently, USA has 10,000 employees in 1.3 million SF of space, primarily in Houston and Cape Canaveral. USA also has facilities in Huntsville, Ala and Alexandria, Va.

“We are

pleased to have CresaPartners’ team on board to help during this challenging time for USA, as we evaluate our long-term needs as the Shuttle Program completes its mission,” said Bill Capel, (top left photo) chief financial officer, USA. “We look forward to a long and productive relationship with CresaPartners.”

The CresaPartners team from Houston and Denver will lead the development of the strategic plan in collaboration with the internal USA Facility team. CresaPartners’ professionals in Orlando, Birmingham and Washington DC will assist during the execution phase, which will likely involve multiple moves and occupancies as some facilities are shut down and others are expanded.
