After being asked to work independently for contacts through the firm, Yvette decided to branch out and founded Premier Marketing and Public Relations in April 2014.
We are very proud and humbled to announce that Premier will be receiving an award on February 23rd from the San Antonio Hospital Foundation for induction into the Frances Mary Paul Circle.

Inland Empire Real Estate Trends Promote Sustainable Prosperity Throughout The Region
|
|
 |
|
The reports are in for 2016 and early 2017 which reflect real estate trends throughout the I.E and point to an "uptick in consumer spending and commercial space purchase and leasing" according to CityCom Vice President, Sean Bailey. CityCom reported a decrease in office vacancy rates throughout the region from 25% in 2012 to 13% in 2016 and in industrial vacancy rates from 16% to less than 5% in the same time span. Large scale research from Newmark Grubb Knight Frank (NGKF), a global real estate advisory firm, supports these findings and adds the consistent positivity in net absorption rates for both office and industrial markets. Not only are vacancy rates descreasing each quarter, but asking rent rates are also up 2.4% in office markets and 15.2% in industrial markets.
Bailey cited two examples of local properties in his report for CityCom. The Foothill Towne Center in Upland once had a 30% occupancy rate which has since increased to 100% with the value of the center as a whole increasing from 4 million to 7 million. Magnolia Plaza in Upland has also seen an increase in occupancy from 65% to 96% in the last five years with and increase in rent prices of about .50 cents per square foot. These are just two out of the many areas experiencing increasingly positive trends.
So what does this mean for our region? According to NGFK, an increasing number of banks, mortage lenders, residential home builders, design companies and commercial businesses are touring the real estate market throughout the Inland Empire looking to set roots in the region. Between our extensive highway network, large industrial centers and proximity to the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, our region can become a hub for industrial growth and prosperity in the years to come!
