“KGW Real Estate did a very good job handling our corporate headquarters relocation. We had been working with another group which were not able to meet our expectations. KGW Real Estate took over and was able to locate an ideal facility that met all of our needs. KGW Real Estate negotiated a a great package that included all of the existing furniture, a very competitive market rental rate and an excellent tenant improvement allowance. KGW Real Estate then guided us through the bidding of contractors and helped us manage costs along the way. The end result is beautiful work environment and a lot of very happy Apptrigger employees. I would highly recommend KGW Real Estate”

“Redback Networks is a publicly traded company and a national leader in networking solutions for IP based services and communications. With offices worldwide, managing our facility needs for maximum profitability is a major task. KGW Real Estate has done a great job on our real estate requirements. Unlike other firms, KGW does not represent buildings so there is no clouded judgement on which facilities will best suit our needs. In addition, it’s always the same team handling every Redback project. They understand how we like things done and never pass the project off to a local agent who has no true ownership in the outcome of the project. Most recently, KGW Real Estate did an excellent job handling a key regional facility for Redback in Reston, VA. Reston is a very competitive market but KGW Real Estate was able to locate a great facility, negotiate a below market rental rate and secure a substantial tenant improvement allowance for Redback. KGW Real Estate then helped us select architects, contractors and furniture vendors. I would recommend KGW Real Estate to anyone interested in improving corporate profitability through good real estate strategies!”

"SyChip, Inc a Bell Labs spinout and now a wholly owned subsidiary of Murata Manufacturing Company of Japan, is a world leader in Chip Scale Radio’s and Wireless Connectivity solutions for the Mobile device market. As our current lease was coming to a close we quickly turned to KGW Real Estate to drive the process. We had tremendous historical success when working with KGW’s leadership when SyChip began to rapidly expand in 2002 and needed to find more space that could economically accommodate our expansion. KGW Real Estate began by analyzing our current lease obligation and our projected space needs for the next several years. KGW Real Estate surveyed the market thoroughly and came up with several good facility alternatives. Meanwhile, they launched negotiations with our existing landlord. KGW Real Estate was successful in getting our existing landlord to tear up our old lease, draft a new lease at far lower rental rates, provide us a substantial tenant improvement allowance and rent abatements and assure us expansion rights for future growth. It was a tremendous success and we highly recommend KGW Real Estate.”

"ClearCube Technology is the global market leader in PC Blade solutions. Due to our rapid growth mode, we quickly outgrew our current space with over two years remaining on the lease. We were also locked in at very high rental rates. One of our board members from Austin Ventures recommended KGW Real Estate to help us in our space needs. KGW went to work analyzing our current lease obligation and our projected space needs for the next several years. They launched a thorough market survey and came up with several great opportunities while at the same time beginning negotiations with our existing landlord. The end result was a great success. KGW Real Estate got our existing landlord to tear up our old lease, draft a new lease at far lower rental rates, provide us a tremendous tenant improvement allowance and assure us preferential expansion rights throughout the entire building so that we would always have ample space for growth. We would certainly recommend KGW Real Estate to anyone requiring the best professional help available in commercial real estate. "

"Paragon is a fast-growing, IP-based broadband wireless equipment company. Last year, we were in need of a new U.S. headquarters facility and asked Austin Ventures who they would recommend to help us in this search. They recommended KGW Real Estate based on the great job they had done in helping numerous other AV portfolio companies. We were on a tight time frame but KGW Real Estate did a comprehensive property search and located a great facility very quickly. They successfully negotiated a below market rental rate on a brand new space and worked with the architect to create a custom built facility for our specific needs. KGW Real Estate then located new furniture at great prices and coordinated our furniture and phone installation. KGW Real Estate’s team allowed us to focus on our core business with little distraction during our headquarters project. We would highly recommend KGW Real Estate to any organization.”

"K2 Capital Management, LLC. was founded in 2004 by the Partners of Hill Oil. Needing to consolidate operations into a more central location, we sought the advice of KGW Real Estate. The KGW team quickly guided us through a process that strategically pinpointed the most ideal location for our new Dallas office. Through their advice, K2 Capital and Hill Oil now office in a Class A building off N Central Expressway adjacent to Uptown’s NE corridor. This property has provided our firm with a unique finish-out, a wonderful workplace environment and adequate room for future growth. The location has also allowed for easy ingress / egress to both Central Expressway and Knox Street offering easy commutes to the CBD and Preston Center. Our relationship with the KGW Real Estate will continue through the years.
