Charles Dunn Opens Orange County Office
Aug 20, 2008

GVA Worldwide partner Charles Dunn Co. is setting its sights on Orange County--it has just opened a new office there, it has announced. GVA Charles Dunn and the Advisory Services group has taken their offices at Knobbe Martens building at Main Plaza in Irvine. Co-located with the Advisory Services group is Charles Dunn Real Estate Services, the property management group that has relocated from Newport Beach. Greg Bendis, Managing Director of the Advisory Services group said the Irvine office will offer a different model than other Charles Dunn offices. “Unlike other offices, where brokers pursue landlord rep, tenant rep and investment assignments, this office will focus exclusively on a managed approach to representing clients that use and occupy commercial real estate in their business.” The approach is one he calls a "Client Services Model." This methodology lets the firm develop and conduct real estate strategies for companies with complex and multi-market real estate needs.
