SAN FRANCISCO, CA– January 7, 2010 – Senior Vice President Brian Gleason, a member of SIOR, and Vice President Andrew Hueser in the San Francisco office of UGL Equis, were recently named at the annual awards lunch in San Francisco as winners of the prestigious 2009 Top Office Lease of the Year Award by the Northern California Chapter of the Society of Industrial and Office Realtors (SIOR), a professional organization serving commercial brokerage specialists worldwide. SIOR has more than 3,000 members, spaning 580 cities and 26 countries.

The UGL Equis professionals were honored for an 82,032 square-foot Headquarters lease renewal concluded last March for Calix Networks, a privately owned telecommunications equipment supplier focused solely on access networks. Their offices are located at 1035 McDowell Boulevard in Petaluma, CA.

Brian and Andrew completed a comprehensive market evaluation and site selection study for the client that took into account total rent and relocation costs, employee drive times, building configuration, and access to above average power. The market evaluation and property search was conducted in both Sonoma and Marin counties. Leveraging 18%+ vacancy markets, the team was then able to secure deals with below market rents with attractive terms for Calix.

“We were both pleased and surprised to receive this award”, said Gleason, “SIOR members are the best in the business when it comes to transacting large deals and the competition for the award was strong this year. The Calix deal forced us to use all our experience and a lot of patience to come up with the right solutions for our client. We believe the outcome was a “win-win” for both Calix and the landlord.”

Mr. Gleason, a resident of Marin County and has more than 25 years of industry experience serving office and industrial clients throughout Northern California. He has been with UGL Equis since 2007. Mr. Hueser has represented clients in over 200 transactions throughout Northern California. He is a resident of San Francisco and has been with UGL Equis since 2007.
