RTI International Comes to Orlando

ORLANDO, FL – (Aug. 18, 2009) – RTI International, one of the world’s leading research institutes, has signed a three-year lease for 1,938 SF to open an office on Metric Drive near University of Central Florida and Central Florida Research Park in East Orlando.

This is RTI International’s first office in Central Florida, and they will be providing simulation training services as a government defense contractor.

Through employees placed with subcontractor clients, RTI International had a presence in Orlando for several years before deciding to locate an office here. They plan to add new jobs to this office as they win more contracts.

Carol Tanner (top right photo) represented the tenant while she was with GVA Advantis, the commercial real estate firm that closed in July. Tanner was negotiating on the tenant’s behalf with Chris Kern of Commercial Realty of Central Florida representing the landlord. After the deal closed, Tanner joined Kern’s firm.

Kern, who founded Commercial Realty of Central Florida in 2003, said, “I’ve known Carol for a long time and I’m pleased she has joined my firm. My expertise is land and multi-family properties, while Carol has spent a great deal of time focusing on office and industrial properties in North Orange and Seminole Counties. It’s a great fit and we are looking to expand in this market.”
