Principals of BANDIER Realty Partners along with an investor purchased two 8,000 square foot office warehouse buildings in The Woodlands June of 2008. In five short months, BANDIER was successful in increasing the occupancy from 20% to 80% and selling the assets to a 1031 buyer while realizing more than a 250% annualized cash on cash return for the investment group.

As a result of their expertise and experience in the commercial foreclosure market, BANDIER was hired to exclusively handle the disposition of a foreclosed asset for a National Commercial Lender. In less than two months, BANDIER was able to successfully market and close the sale of the property for more than appraised value.

BANDIER will be handling the development, marketing and management of a 17 acre retail development on Kuykendahl frontage just south of The Woodlands. While in its early stages, the prime development tract will consist of various retail pads, restaurants, fast-food, and inline space. Ground lease, build to suit and inline lease opportunities are available now.

BANDIER Realty Partners will be using their in-depth knowledge and experience handling foreclosure and bankruptcy sales to give investors an opportunity to let their cash work for them in this opportunistic real estate market. The fund will kick off in January 2009 with an anticipated investment deadline around end of 1stQ 2009. The fund will target quality commercial real estate assets via cash heavy infusion while capitalizing on market or lender challenges.

Trey Halberdier and Robert Banzhaf, Principals of BANDIER Realty Partners LLC, represented Citibank in the negotiation of 14,892 square foot lease renewal at Briarlake Plaza at 2000 W. Sam Houston Pkwy. The Partners secured a below market deal in the prime building by leveraging competing buildings in the tight class A Market. Within a month of inking their deal, the rental rates rose more than $7.00 per square foot, forecasting a savings of more than 28% of occupancy costs for Citibank.

BANDIER's Principals have closed seven transactions on behalf of GE Capital. With properties ranging from 6,000 square feet to 90,000 square feet, the Partners obtained a higher than appraised price for every property disposition.

Nevada Gold & Casinos hired Rob and Trey to assist in reducing occupancy costs while undergoing a restructuring. The Principals secured a potential sub-tenant for the client's space which prompted the landlord to release the company of a $1.6 Million liability for their lease. BANDIER relocated Nevada Gold to new space, with flexible lease terms and the lowest rate in the Galleria submarket. This resulted in 77% savings.

Rob and Trey represented the law firm of Chadbourne & Parke in the renewal of their downtown Houston office lease. The 100% occupied building contained encumbrances from multiple large tenants. After clearing the encumbrances, the Partners locked in a long-term below market rental rate while providing flexibility to liquidate the space to an existing tenant without landlord approval.
