With these additions, Transwestern assumes a dominant market presence in the East Bay, and becomes well positioned to grow across the San Francisco Bay area, expanding its property management, agency leasing, tenant advisory, investment services and investment management capabilities.

Based on recent leasing volume of its new producers in Walnut Creek, Transwestern immediately secures a place among the top four commercial real estate service firms in the East Bay. Transwestern’s new additions bring with them approximately 3.5 million square feet of office, retail and industrial listings. They arrive on the heels of the dramatic growth of Transwestern’s Bay Area property management portfolio, which has surged from 1.9 million square feet to 8.8 million square feet since January 2011.

“Our East Bay expansion has been carefully planned and is part of our multi-leveled approach to serving the entire region, one that Transwestern already knows quite well,” said George Garfield, president of Transwestern’s West Region. “We’ve had transactional and property management operations in the Bay Area for more than a decade, though this new expansion provides us with both a broader and deeper capability. With the renewed strength of the tech, social media and industrial sector, our expanded team is well positioned to provide an even more complete range of services to fast-growing businesses and to our institutional clients in the Bay area.”

Garfield added, “The exciting new additions in Walnut Creek are key components of a larger strategy to cement a dominant market share in the San Francisco Bay area and Los Angeles. Additional expansion is contemplated in each of the new East Bay offices as well as in downtown San Francisco, San Jose and Palo Alto.”

The new East Bay brokerage team is led by former Grubb Ellis Managing Director Edward F. Del Beccaro, who has over 33 years of experience in the San Francisco Bay Area in the fields of development, property management, leasing, sales and investments. Throughout his career he has leased more than 2 million square feet of office properties. As managing director of Grubb Ellis’ Walnut Creek East Bay office, as well as its Oakland office, Del Beccaro was responsible for managing a full-service real estate team, including office, retail, industrial and medical leasing and sales, land investment, construction and project management.

A boom in social media and Web-focused companies has helped make the San Francisco area the healthiest office market in the country over the past year. According to Dina Simoni, Transwestern’s research manager for the Bay Area, the region’s office market has experienced 8.9 percent rent growth over the past year. Simoni noted that rents currently average $29.88 per square foot in the Bay Area compared to the fourth quarter of 2000, just before the burst of the tech bubble, when rents were about $50 per square foot.

“The Bay Area recovery and expansion is underway,” said Simoni. “Demand in the office market led to a net absorption of close to 2 million square feet per quarter in 2011 and this continued into 2012. The second quarter of 2012 is shaping up to be another blockbuster. All of the uptick in demand and leasing activity is reminiscent of 2005 and before that in the late 1990s when the tech boom occurred.”

With a full support staff of six, as well as Senior Portfolio Manager Dennis Henry, joining Transwestern in its new Walnut Creek office are the following brokers:

Edward F. Del Beccaro, Managing Director Tom Caple, Vice President Sonny O’Drobinak, Vice President Scott Ellis, Senior Vice President Bob Maderious, Senior Vice President Matt Hurd, Senior Associate Terry Vani, Vice President Trigger Reital, Vice President John Sechser, Senior Vice President Colby Mikulich, Associate

Transwestern’s growth in the Bay Area is part of a national and global growth initiative, having opened offices in New York City and St. Louis in the past year, as well as establishing an international alliance with BNP Paribas Real Estate. Now with 31 offices across the U.S., Transwestern oversees a leasing and property management portfolio of 258 million square feet nationally.
