Real Estate Strategies Corporation Unlocks Liquidity Hidden in York Telecom Headquarters Lease, Renegotiates Long Term Transaction


(June 23, 2009, Somerset, New Jersey): Andrew Zezas, SIOR, President and CEO of Real Estate Strategies Corporation, the New Jersey based corporate real estate advisory and transaction services firm announced today that it completed a lease renegotiation for Eatontown, New Jersey based York Telecom Corporation. York Telecom occupies a 30,238 square foot single story office building at 81 Corbett Way, Eatontown, New Jersey. The new lease term is for fifteen years.

"York Telecom was in an interesting position to avail itself of current market opportunities, especially given the Company's recent growth under its President & COO, Ron Gaboury" said Andrew Zezas. He continued "Resulting from the execution of a financially and operationally focused strategy, York was able to secure significant overall benefits by renegotiating its headquarters lease and extending it from a three year term to a fifteen year term. The result was a new transaction that afforded York significantly lower annual occupancy costs, a substantial landlord provided cash allowance to fund improvements, and a long term cost-effective and predictable rental structure. The landlord benefited by securing a long term and profitable relationship with York Telecom thereby, reducing its risk in what is certainly a challenging market for commercial landlords."

Separately, on York Telecom's behalf, Real Estate Strategies Corporation is marketing 7,200 square feet of office space for sublease at 6 Industrial Way West, Eatontown, New Jersey.
