Why Kennedy Wilson Is Growing its Office Tenant Services

Kennedy Wilson is making a strategic move to bolster its office tenant services with the addition of Corporate Realty Association, a four-member boutique brokerage firm focusing on corporate office tenant services. Kennedy Wilson did not previously have a corporate tenant business, and this move will expand the firm’s services while providing CRA with a national platform to better service its existing clients. The team—which includes David Eagan, Jeremy Dee, Alan Gecht and Gary Goodgame—will be based in Kennedy Wilson’s Beverly Hills headquarters.

“For Kennedy Wilson, the addition of corporate services gives us the opportunity to launch a new line of business for our services group,” Ed Sachse, president of Kennedy Wilson’s Property Services division, tells GlobeSt.com. “We have not had a corporate services group as part of our book of services here at Kennedy Wilson, and this diversifies our services into office, because we do have a strong focus on retail. We have a robust property management and client services platform now, and by adding Jeremy’s contacts, we have the ability to service mid-cap companies on their real estate needs throughout the country. There is a natural synergy for us to work together. It is a very natural fit for us.”
