Brokerage Services

OIMC provides services related to the purchase, sale or leasing of properties. Our highly experienced professionals are involved with the U.S. real estate marketplace on an ongoing basis. They review economic and technical information received from a wide variety of sources to determine the levels of pricing at which properties are being bought, sold and leased, as well as assessing demand trends and the nature and availability of different types of properties.

We continuously review, inspect and analyze properties in search of those having the best possible values within the framework of OIMC’s current investment criteria. We make purchase recommendations and prepare offerings on those opportunities that are determined to be appropriate for submittal to our investment clients.

Development Services

Successful development requires the skillful management of many specialized services, including entitlements, anchor-leasing, building design, type of construction, financing, monitoring of competitors, and project marketing.  Orion’s objective, for nearly three decades, has been to reverse the normal risk-return ratio for our clients, by reducing risks, while taking advantage of opportunities in the market place.

Special legal and tax considerations govern the structure of the ownership entity to assure that the investor’s objectives are achieved.  A thorough understanding of zoning, concurrency, permitting, environmental requirements and construction is needed to deal with complex development issues.  Many years of experience in commercial leasing provides a strong foundation in improving project feasibility. These are the hallmark advantages of Orion’s professionals.

Sometimes, good opportunities are found in projects being promoted by reputable outside sources. Orion can act as the investor’s representative in all dealings with a developer partner, providing oversight inspection, better cost control and a more accurate and timely flow of information to the investor.

Orion development projects completed under the supervision of OIMC include three Laboratory Corporation of America facilities for Revlon in Louisville, San Antonio and Winston-Salem, as well as a Winn-Dixie anchored center in Panama City, Florida.  In joint-ventures with ColliersAWF, Orion Commercial is currently marketing over $100 million in exclusive development site offerings in South Florida.

Asset Management

This service provides the professional management of the investment asset as a business on behalf of the investor-owner. This activity includes the physical conservation of the property, the financial planning and control of operations, and the marketing of the asset.

Every portfolio property is operated according to a business plan that incorporates the specific requirements of the investor-owner, and which includes an operating budget, financing and refinancing considerations, cash distributions instructions and an exit strategy.

Project accounting and financial reporting are carried out by the operations and accounting division using a system designed for use by the most sophisticated financial institutions. These systems not only assure the accuracy and relevancy of the reported information, but also allow for the reports to be structured to the specific requirements of each investor.

Property Management

Orion provides all phases of management for full service and triple net leases. Proper and prudent lease administration and property management accounting are fundamental to the success of any real estate firm. Our professional property management team supervises all repairs and maintenance, including obtaining and reviewing proposals for Tenant Improvements, and build outs for new and existing tenants. Orion uses Skyline for the management accounting services which include:

• CAM reconciliation and billing
• Skyline-Customized Accounting Programs
• Preparation of financial statements
• Payment of invoices
• Budget preparation and review
• Rent roll maintenance
• Rent collection

These services are essential to the ownership of commercial real estate, which has become increasingly complex and require a high degree of expertise and knowledge.

Our property managers take personal interest in ensuring the proper administration and day-to-day supervision and follow-up of an asset, as this is crucial in enhancing its value. Orion is committed to providing quality property management at a reasonable cost while maintaining a high level of professionalism.

Sale-Leaseback

The sale-leaseback is a financial arrangement designed to raise capital for the corporate property owner and obtain favorable income tax benefits. In this arrangement a company sells its real estate and then leases it back for an agreed period of time. Many companies improve their financial performance through the sale-leaseback of real estate by taking advantage of the cash value of the property without the debt on their balance sheet.

Orion has facilitated many successful sale-leaseback transactions bringing together the necessary financial lease sale and leaseback terms that are mutually beneficial to both investor and tenant.

Space User Representation

Orion, through its highly experienced staff, provides outsource real estate services to the corporate client, typically through exclusive representation.

Commercial real estate expertise allows for the corporate client to maximize opportunity in securing the best possible locations and terms for lease or acquisitions, which is essential in maximizing use of capital and minimizing operating expenses.
