Growing Commercial Investment Company Adds Jobs In Tampa Bay
Cardinal Pointe Management looks to expand commercial investments, hire property managers.
A Tampa commercial investment firm is investing in Florida. And it seems to beĀ paying off.
Greg WilliamsĀ created CardinalĀ PointeĀ Management in 2009 withĀ brother and businessĀ partner RufusĀ Williams andĀ says they areĀ planning to provideĀ property managementĀ jobs at a coupleĀ sitesĀ in Tampa. āWe are currently repositioning several assets and as they become more stabilized, we will look to hire additionalĀ property management professionals,ā says Williams.Ā āAdditionally,Ā as we acquire more assets, we will look to grow our overall platform.Ā This will likely include adding moreĀ property accounting positions and an investment analyst.ā
Williams says thatĀ despiteĀ its challenges duringĀ the economic downturn, FloridaĀ isĀ poised for growth.Ā āWe did a lot of research on different areas around the country and quickly came to the conclusionĀ that Florida offered great investment opportunities,ā says Williams. āWe believe Florida is poised forĀ corporate growth given the relative low cost of doing business, the quality of life for employees and the availability of an educated workforce.Ā Although theĀ recession has been incredibly difficult for the Florida economy for the last several years, we believe the current low cost of housing as a result of the downturn will be a significant driver of growth for many years to come.āĀ
Williams saysĀ theseĀ factors provide opportunities toĀ acquire real estate assets in good locations below replacement cost.Ā āOurĀ growthĀ has been attributed to our acquisitions over the last 18 months of well-located commercial assets throughout the Tampa Bay region that have typically been under-managed.Ā Weāve investedĀ a significant amount of capital into these properties in order to provide tenants with a great office environment and at an affordable rate.āĀ
Williams saysĀ he is looking for certain traits in candidates lookingĀ to join theĀ CardinalĀ Pointe team.Ā āAn idealĀ candidateĀ isĀ somebodyĀ whoĀ is hardworking, trustworthy, entrepreneurial, team-oriented and possessesĀ strong analytical skills.ā
