SAN JOSE, CA-GlobeSt.com exclusively learns that Meacham/Oppenheimer Inc. has joined CORFAC International as the new affiliate in Silicon Valley in a move “to intentionally grow its office, R&D and industrial brokerage business,” according to Meacham/Oppenheimer/CORFAC International president Mike Messinger. The firm is rebranding to do business as Meacham/Oppenheimer CORFAC International.
2012 CORFAC president Doug Marshall says the addition of a locally owned and entrepreneurial commercial brokerage and property management firm like Meacham/Oppenheimer CORFAC International is “consistent with CORFAC’s goals of growing its organization with like-minded companies and establishing offices in the top 50 Metropolitan markets in the US.”
Marshall continues that “Silicon Valley is obviously one of the top markets in the country and strategically important for us to have a presence there.” Marshall is also a principal of the Klabin Co./CORFAC International and based in Los Angeles.
Messinger started to diversify Meacham’s business model by recruiting office, land and industrial brokers and more recently, by starting a third-party property management service and a development advisory practice, according to a prepared statement. Messinger intends to continue growing the firm and earn a larger share of the technology business.
Messinger runs the business with partners David Taxin and Josh Gispan. Altogether, the company has 16 commercial real estate brokers and is actively recruiting more. “With some of our brokers focused on office and industrial commercial real estate services it made sense for us to align our firm with a well-respected organization like CORFAC International, which instantly connects us and our clients to over 150 markets worldwide plus provides our entire firm with additional resources such as corporate services, best practices/professional development education and marketing,” Messinger says.
According to a prepared statement, Meacham’s recent decision to add third-party property management and development advisory services was largely client driven. “We know the entitlement process from helping clients get their real estate projects approved so adding development advisory services was a natural extension of our core knowledge, and many of the investors that we have sold property to asked us to manage their assets after acquiring them—there is opportunity in this business niche and we intend to grow it,” Messinger says.
