| | Real Estate Developer Welcome
to Real Estate Developer.com In
their most fundamental role, commercial real estate developers serve as an intermediary
between the construction companies that build the buildings and the businesses
that use them. Developers often help businesses that provide the optimum value
in functionality, location and cost. They leverage their real estate and construction
expertise as they coordinate with construction companies on behalf of the tenant
businesses. In this way developers ensure that newly constructed spaces meet the
client businesses' needs. Real estate developers are often property managers as
well, and keep operations running smoothly by maintaining the facilities, allowing
their tenants to focus on driving profits. By bridging the gap between builders
and users, real estate developers pay an extremely important role in controlling
unnecessary expenses and improving efficiency and effectiveness for all parties
involved.
The most influential real estate development companies go beyond
this role. The best real estate developers are visionaries, looking years - even
decades - beyond today's world to determine what buildings will be needed, and
where. They imagine a commercial building, an industrial park or shopping mall,
or even an entire commercial district in a currently undeveloped area by looking
into the future and projecting what tomorrow's businesses and consumers will need.
At their finest, real estate developers are entrepreneurs who seek out opportunity
and drive it to reality, and in the process grow our communities and our nation.
Tomorrow's manufacturers, distributors, retailers and employers will have a home
because today's real estate developers had the daring and vision to foresee their
needs. Real Estate Developer.com showcases famous commercial
developers and property managers from history who have demonstrated that entrepreneurial
spirit, and along the way have altered the course of America. People like Walt
Disney, who created a children's fantasy world known as Disneyland and imagineered
the theme park concept used in amusement parks around the world today. Or the
architect
Victor Gruen, who created a new approach to clustering retail stores under
one roof with large department stores to anchor the project . . . and in so doing
gave birth to the modern shopping mall. Or Junior
Rockefeller, who risked $100 million of his own money on the Rockefeller Center,
