Transaction History
Since 2005 assisted the Cincinnati Public Schools, providing a full range of professional real estate assistance and especially in the disposition of selected facilities, a possibility authorized by legislation but all transactions were subject to a strict time limit to close. NAI Bergman was able in 2005 to sell three of the buildings within 5 months, netting valuable income for the Cincinnati Public Schools to use in upgrading their facilities. In 2012, he again helped sell 12 public school properties in a short period of time. He continues to represent the school district as they explore options for other surplus buildings.
Laurence also spearheaded the redevelopment of a 617,000 sf Kroger & industrial candy plant along a highway interstate and adjacent to a large mall. The property had originally been marketed as an industrial facility, but after analyzing the marketplace, the decision was made to redevelop the space into a retail center. The first tenants in the redeveloped space included Dave & Busters, Sears, Golf Galaxy and Ashley Furniture, and the client’s return was maximized. Since that time, additional tenants were added and the retail portion of the complex is full.
