The new program combines Essex’s expertise in property management with
receivership and assets services with Essex’s expertise in property
management, leasing and construction management to offer both creditors
and debtors a comprehensive strategy for their holdings.
Spearheading
this new program is Randall C. O’Connell, bringing more than 22 years
of experience in the commercial real estate industry. O’Connell was a
California State Court receiver and has been involved in over $900
million of note purchases from acquisition through asset management and
disposition.
“The time to jump into the commercial distressed
market is right now as we are starting to see the need for receivers
extend from the residential loans into the commercial arena,” says
O’Connell. “Unfortunately, the market is looking like a domino effect
– first impacting condo-conversions and new housing developments and
now severely impacting the commercial market.”
