UGL Equis Forms Development Group

CHICAGO-The new group will assist clients with build-to-suit projects, site selection and other aspects of developing buildings.

By Gina Kenny | Updated on July 23, 2008

CHICAGO-UGL Equis, based here, has formed a development services group to assist clients with build-to-suit and other development projects. Chris Reutershan, SVP of UGL Equis, will head the group, which has more than 10 projects now underway, and could include up to 70 people in three years.

The firm created the group to offer more options for its clients. “We are essentially a tenant representation company. We focus only on the users of space,” Reutershan says. “Historically, we started out doing transaction services (and) brokerage services.” The development services group will conduct feasibility analyses; help with site selection, zoning and permitting; and assist with financing and deal structure support. The new group will also provide development management and construction management services in addition to project reporting.

The majority of the projects will likely be “ground-up developments,” where the firm will act as the developer and the client will own the property; build-to-suit projects where they firm will work with developer in overseeing the project ; and studies such as feasibility studies and master plans, Reutershan says. “We are not going to become developers. We are not going to own the land,” he says.
