LOS ANGELES, CA – May 17, 2012 – (RealEstateRama) — Charles Dunn Company, one of the largest full-service regional real estate firms in the Western United States, has been awarded a nearly 526,000 square foot property management assignment from Watt Properties, a division of Santa Monica, Calif.-based Watt Companies. The seven-property portfolio consists entirely of retail centers – six of them located in Los Angeles County and one in Ventura County.
“We are honored to add Watt, a major regional commercial real estate owner, to our diverse roster of property management clients,” said Patrick Conn, president of Charles Dunn Company’s Management Services division. “Our ability to proactively provide an entrepreneurial, hands-on approach combined with our depth of management resources, were both key factors in winning this substantial new business.”
The properties Charles Dunn will be managing range in size from nearly 11,000 square feet to more than 132,000 square feet. Romy Miura, senior portfolio manager with Charles Dunn, will oversee management on all seven locations with James Byun serving as assistant property manager.
