Dow Jones Description

BentleyForbes is one of the nation's fastest growing, privately-held commercial real estate investment companies. The Company is focused on the acquisition, ownership and management of trophy Class A office buildings, luxury resort and hotel properties and select high-quality industrial and retail facilities in major markets throughout the United States. The Company was founded in 1993 by Fred Wehba, Sr. along with other members of the family. The Wehba family has been involved in the acquisition, development, ownership and management of commercial real estate for over 25 years. BentleyForbes actively invests in multi-tenant commercial real estate properties, focusing on acquiring signature, Class A trophy assets which have a high residual real estate value due to their locations in major MSAs and top submarkets nationally. In its acquisitions, the Company places a primary focus on the underlying submarket, as opposed to a macro-market, believing that real estate is all about a specific location and its fundamentals. In addition to its investment in multi-tenant commercial real estate properties, the Company is also internationally recognized for its expertise in the acquisition and management of single-tenant, sale-leaseback and net lease properties. During the past three years, BentleyForbes has successfully completed the purchase of several Class A office and hospitality properties in diverse markets, summarized as follows:
