FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FEINBERG FORMS STRATEGIC ALLIANCE
Patton Harris Rust, AKRF and O’Donnell
& Naccarato Join Forces to Boost Builders
in Tough Economy
Date: January 7, 2009
Baltimore, MD ----Bill
Feinberg, President of Feinberg & Associates,
announced today the formation of a strategic
alliance of eight businesses that will collaborate
to offer builders and developers a full
range of real estate-related services required
for site evaluation and development.
Conceptualized by the architectural firm
Feinberg and Associates, the alliance includes
three high-profile engineering firms: Patton,
Harris, Rust & Associates of Chantilly,
Virginia, AKRF with multiple offices in
the Northeast and O’Donnell and Naccarato
of Philadelphia with branch offices in the
Metro-D.C. area. This one-stop resource
of professional services represents a cost-effective
solution for developers in a tough business
climate.
The companies in the alliance range from
Feinberg’s architectural design firm,
an acquisition and development consulting
firm, a financial resource organization
as well as the three engineering firms that
specialize in civil, environmental and structural
engineering including parking functional
design capabilities, all complementing each
other in their scope of services. Also in
the group are heavily experienced firms
that offer full marketing, sales and advertising
services. The combined workforce of the
eight companies exceeds 500 professionals
and has offices in the Tri-State and Middle
Atlantic States region.
Andrew M. Teeters, Director of Development
in this regional area for The Shelter Group,
one of the first firms to meet with the
alliance partners recently stated, “By
creating an alliance, these firms will offer
a consolidated depth and breadth of knowledge
and service in the industry that will be
valuable to many developers. I am confident
that this concept will be an efficient and
effective way for developers to evaluate
new opportunities.”
Bill Feinberg came up with the idea of bringing
in all of the necessary professional services
into an alliance to provide their respective
commentaries on sites that development firms
were considering for acquisition. Since
it is often the architectural concept design
team that is first called in to evaluate
density, appropriate products and a workable
site plan, it was Feinberg & Associates
which put into its marketing budget the
dollars to also bring in the members of
the alliance and offer their services to
future clients before they are hired or
under formal contract.
Rod Ritchie, Technical Director of AKRF
added, “It is the intention of our
group to reach out to new and existing clients
not only in our established market areas
but also into regions that present new opportunities
and challenges for this extraordinary team
of established and well recognized professionals.
We as a company are excited about this new
approach to business expansion and after
making a few preliminary visits to new clients,
we are pleased that the initial reaction
was very positive to the extensive services
the alliance offers!”
