Q&A with Scott Abernethy of Cassidy Turley

With several of our developments getting underway this summer, we decided to interview one the brokers representing these properties. We have had a long standing relationship with Scott Abernethy and are pleased that he is one of the listing agents for our new development, The Greens at Kenwood, along I-71 and Montgomery Road.
Scott Abernethy is a Senior Vice President at Cassidy Turley, located on Fourth Street in downtown Cincinnati. Scott has been with Cassidy Turley since starting his career in the real estate industry in 1998. He is a member of the Society of Industrial and Office Realtors, Cincinnati Board of Realtors, Ohio Association Board of Realtors and the National Association Board of Realtors and a Certified Commercial Investment Member.

1. You are one of the main brokers for our newest development, The Greens at Kenwood. What are you most hopeful for with regards to this development? With all of the negative news surrounding the last large development in Kenwood (Kenwood Towne Place), my hope is that The Greens again proves what a successful office market Kenwood really is. The most challenging aspect of this project is always landing that first, anchor tenant. Once we do, I firmly believe Neyer Properties will experience tremendous success with this project.

2. What other properties have you worked with us on? Our team has been a successful leasing partner for Neyer Properties on several other office projects along the I-71 corridor. These leasing include over 40,000 SF at Blue Ash Corporate Center from 2006 – 2008, and also fully leasing the 20,000 SF office/warehouse property on East Kemper Road. Currently, we continue to lease Blue Ash Corporate Center, Central Pointe on the Lateral, and The Greens.

3. What made you decide to work with Neyer? Easy question: the successful track record that Neyer Properties has put together for its properties makes us want to be their leasing partner whenever the opportunity presents itself.

4. With whom do you work with? I have worked with and continue to work with Dan Neyer, Karman Stahl, Charlie Pond, Jeff Chamot, Amanda Neyer, Eden McDermott, Jared Wendling, and even Bryan Kelly (although that work relates more to betting on the horses at Keeneland).

5. What has been your experience working with Neyer? The Neyer employees are extremely detail-oriented group, very responsive, wonderful marketing, and always professional.

6. How long have you been working with Neyer? Since I got in this business at the end of 1998, I have always been aware of Neyer Properties. I have worked with them as a Tenant Rep starting then, and developed our listing relationship in 2005.
7. What do you like about the relationship? See #5….they make it easier for me to help them lease their properties by responding quickly and appropriately to my requests.

8. Any specific positive experiences? On a personal (fun) level, I enjoy the group at Neyer Properties with the Keeneland outing…3 years in a row, and always a good time. The most recent positive work experience is the marketing we put together for The Greens. This is the best marketing I have seen for any project in my 12 years of working in Commercial Real Estate.

Q & A with Elaine Gillespie of Equity

Brokers are an important part of our business. Some help us list and promote our buildings to potentials clients and others bring the clients to us to lease space in our buildings and find build-to-suit opportunities for our available land parcels. Realizing the strong relationship we have with our brokers we decided to interview one of them that we have worked with for several years now.

Elaine Gillespie is the Vice President of Equity Real Estate, located on Carver Road in Cincinnati. Elaine has been with Equity for eight years and in the real estate buisness for twelve. She is a member of the Greater Cincinnati Board of Realtors, Ohio Association Board of Realtors and the National Association Board of Realtors.

What properties are you currently working with us on?
Kenwood Crossing II, Kenwood Crossing III, and Fountains Techne Center.

What has been your experience working with Neyer?
Work hard, play hard seems to be the theme. The team spirit of this company is unsurpassed--their energy and excitement about all aspects of real estate is contagious!!

How long have you been working with Neyer?
Six years.

What do you like about the relationship?
EVERYTHING! There is mutual trust and respect, constant encouragement and celebration of successes.

Any specific positive experiences?
