Schaumburg, IL (Feb.  24, 2014) – Schaumburg-based SVN Crossroads Management, LLC has been awarded the property management contract of a 101,500-square-foot multi-tenanted retail center known as Barrington Square and a 53,300-square-foot office building known as Blackberry Falls in Hoffman Estates, Ill.

 “We are making a full-court-press to increase our market share in 2014,” says Kirsten Helma, chief operating officer for SVN Crossroads, who joined the company late last summer.

 “Owners should expect more from their management firms and SVN Crossroads has the in-house expertise and platform to deliver uniquely superior guidance and service.

“Property management should not just be a service. It is a true partnership and we structure our management agreements so they are completely aligned with our clients.”

Barrington Square and Blackberry Falls are owned by Caruso Development, which previously self-managed the properties.

Situated in high-traffic areas in Chicago’s northwest suburbs, the buildings offer superb locations for retail and office tenants. Current tenants at Barrington Square include America’s Bar and Grill, GiGi’s Playhouse, and Poplar Creek Bowl. 

 “I chose to work with SVN Crossroads because we have similar goals when dealing with tenants and the public,” said Joe Caruso, owner of Caruso Development.  “Their platform and style were the closest to our own and how we’ve been managing for 35 years.”

Office Leasing Activity Picks Up

 In other activity, the development arm of SVN Crossroads Management, Crossroads Development Partners, reports steady leasing in its suburban office holdings.

What things are being implemented to ensure it is, as the piece explains, a "true partnership" which aligns with clients' needs? It seems like a good goal to go beyond the normal service offered.
