An Owner’s Perspective

Maximizing the value of an asset, particularly in challenging leasing markets, requires keen market awareness, rigorous controls, and careful oversight. The MRI team brings more than 50 years worth of experience as an owner-operator who successfully navigated through every type of market.  As a service partner, we treat an owner’s assets and their money as if they were our own.

In addition to our presence in the office building development and management sectors, MRI is known for our work with other property types including shopping centers, warehouses, multi-family, hospitality, and land acquisition. We offer a unique combination of big company capabilities and small company accessibility.

Maximizing Value of Real Estate Investments

At MRI, we develop and execute business plans and budgets to reflect an owner’s individual objectives and priorities. We scrutinize expenses to identify savings that will not compromise safety, comfort, or value. We work tirelessly with the leasing team to find and capture every opportunity. Income, leases, and contracts are all carefully tracked and managed.  Since we are a fully-integrated group, we offer in-house professionals with real-world real estate experience to guide projects through the entire life-cycle:

Acquisition

Financing and refinancing

Recapitalization or restructuring

Expansion, repositioning or redevelopment

Disposition

The Best Value

More senior executive involvement, great resources, proven performance, and highly competitive fees make us your best value in the Florida area.  MRI executives have collectively acquired, developed, constructed, financed, managed and sold literally hundreds of millions of dollars of real estate in this marketplace.

We achieve this by relying on proven construction, development, and real estate professionals who are committed to innovation, collaboration, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.

MRI’s development and construction management approach

is founded on the following four principles:

COLLABORATION

The entire project team creates a network of relationships, leveraging a diversity of knowledge and skills. We build communication and understanding to ensure the success of each

project so that each client achieves their desired results.

Creativity

At MRI, we think outside of the box, producing new ideas, approaches, and actions to achieve the goals of each client.

Service

This is our priority to each and every client. Service is more than doing our job; service stems from a core set of values that reflect our desire to deliver the best results to each client.

Integrity

Our integrity is not conditional. It comes from a pursuit of honesty and accountability, not the relentless quest for profits. It shows the consistency of our actions and the results of

our projects.

Project Approach

The MRI project team uses a hands-on, results-oriented approach to problem solving and achieves project goals through a blend of in-depth construction experience, practical business sense, and proactive management style. We treat each project as if it were for our account by assigning a corporate officer as the hands-on Project Leader and primary contact person. The MRI team has written and negotiated millions of square feet of design contracts and millions of dollars in construction contracts. We do not bring in senior management just to win the project and then assign the work to junior staff. Our key personnel is the one on the front line with each client, all the way to the project’s successful completion.

Senior team members are graduate architects and engineers with the experience to overcome project time and resource constraints. Virtually all of our projects have fast-track schedules, so we excel in leading project teams to produce cost effective solutions and meeting deadlines. MRI utilizes the latest in project management and scheduling software to keep the project team on track and up-to-date with current information. Project goals are met through a combination of daily tracking, frequent meetings, and site visits which include:

Regular field coordination meetings

Weekly progress meetings with the design team and Owner to review project status

24/7 availability to respond to clients and any needs that may arise

Present day regulations and agencies frequently provide significant challenges for developers and property owners seeking entitlements and land use approvals. Zoning and regulatory controls are increasing in number and complexity. New legislation and case law are constantly changing. Local politics and public opinion often exert a strong influence. Thus, the entitlement process can be difficult and uncertain. With respect to our retail clients, planning expertise is critical to achieving the proper tenant mix, circulation, and parking arrangements that are crucial to the economic success of any retail development.

The MRI Construction & Development team has a broad and comprehensive background in planning. Our many years’ experience providing planning services to our clients is invaluable to streamlining the entitlement process, which translates to saving time and money.
