The developer has contracted with the Orlando office of Atlanta-based Advantis Real Estate Services Co. to handle the chores and improve the 71% occupancy level of the properties, Advantis says in a prepared statement.

Advantis' fee structure wasn't disclosed. In some markets, the negotiated fee can run from ½% to 4% of the total rent roll or value of the asset, area brokers tell GlobeSt.com on condition of anonymity.

Senior Advantis brokers Tom McFadden and William "Bo" Bradford will handle the leasing end. Beverly McNeill will manage the properties. She also manages a total 900,000 sf for the Clayton cousins of Orlando, Sugar Oak Corp. of Herndon, VA and McDonald Development Co. of Atlanta.
