“ This is an unprecedented contract for NAI Capital ”
Broker with leading Southern California commercial real estate firm is selected to represent Chinese City of Nanpu to bring developers, investors, retailers and industrial businesses to the region.
Los Angeles, CA (
PRWEB) February 26, 2007 -- China's Nanpu Economic Trade Development Area (NEDA) has appointed Christine A. Lee, Executive Vice President and Co-Founder of NAI Capital's Southern California based Pacific Rim Division, as the exclusive commercial real estate representative for the region's trade development zone. Ms. Lee will act as a consultant to secure investors, developers, enterprises and financial institutions to invest in NEDA.
"This is an unprecedented contract for NAI Capital," said Bennard Gillison, Senior Vice President and Director of the firm's Corporate Services Division who is working with Ms. Lee to secure contracts from U.S. corporations interested in doing business in China. "Christine's relationships with China and this exclusive agreement with NEDA present an extraordinary opportunity for NAI Capital and NAI Global clients to invest in China. This agreement also reinforces our firm's capability of conducting business on a global scale," said Mr. Gillison.
Within 130 miles of Beijing, the port city of Nanpu has a population of 7 million people. It is located in an urban area comprised of over 299 million people.
The Nanpu Economic Development Area is located in the Hebei Province of China, 12 miles from Caofeidian port. Newly constructed and now one of China's largest ports, Caofeidian was built to service major iron, steel, chemical and petrol industries. The City of Nanpu supports the infrastructure and growth of Caofeidian's ports. Development in the port has been expedited in anticipation of the 2008 Olympic Games, as companies such as Shougang Iron and Steel Group will move its Beijing plant to Caofeidian. The City of Nanpu is also home to Nanpu Salt works, Tangshan Sanyou Alkali Company, several Korean hi-tech companies, and the manufacturing and distribution centers for titanium and ceramics industries.
"Nanpu is an ideal location for industries interested in expanding their activities in China," said Ms. Lee. "With Caofeidian's deep-water, ice-free port along the Bohai Sea receiving up to 300,000-ton vessels and housing two 250,000-ton ore berths, international trade businesses should take a serious look at Nanpu," noted Ms. Lee.
Since co-founding NAI Capital's Pacific Rim Division in 2005, Ms. Lee has helped the firm develop a solid team of bilingual real estate and investment professionals that specialize in cross-cultural negotiations. Ms. Lee's family is originally from Northern China and Ms. Lee herself was raised in Japan.
"Christine understands Chinese and Japanese culture and is an asset to NAI Capital clients looking to invest in the Nanpu region," said Gillison. "Her relationships throughout Asia afford NAI Capital clients with unique access to opportunities that might otherwise be missed due to language and cultural barriers."
