His experience and clientele is very diverse from involvement with contractors, technology, manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, entertainment, property management, and professional services, all requiring a broad understanding of these industries and the needs of our clients.

Diving Into a Larger Pool of Employees

by

The economy is very slowly emerging from the Great Recession and unemployment in California remains high. So one would think there would be a lot of people looking for work. But if you’re like me, you know it can be really hard to find truly qualified employees who will work for salaries that fit within your budget range.

One of the causes of this is the high cost of living in the Bay Area. That includes our fast-rising transportation expenses.

What does gas cost these days? Close to $4 a gallon – right? And how about cars? Good used cars have become much more expensive because so many people can’t afford to buy new anymore. Add in ever-increasing insurance costs, and many potential employees simply have to find other ways to get to work.

What can you do about this? One solution is to make sure you locate your business so it’s convenient to public transportation. And no office complex is more convenient to public transit than Fremont Business Park at Christy Street – which has an AC Transit stop for Bus 212 right at the corner of Albrae and Christy Street – in other words, just outside your front door.

On Track to the Best Employees
Where does AC Transit Bus 212 stop? One of the places is the Stevenson BART station, approximately 30 minutes away. This BART connection means you can easily draw employees from as far away as Berkeley or Richmond; Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill or Concord; Castro Valley, Pleasanton or Dublin; or even San Francisco or Daly City.

That’s an enormously broad and deep labor pool, and that means you have a much better chance of finding the skilled, highly motivated employees you need at salaries that won’t break the bank.

Smart Way to Check Schedules
Your employees will also love the fact that they can check bus schedules on their PC or smart phone, so they won’t waste a lot of time standing around at the bus stop. All they have to do is click the bus tracker to know precisely when the 212 Bus will arrive. The tracker link is also on the Fremont Business Park web site.

Other Christy Street Location Benefits
For those employees who do drive to work and live in Fremont or other nearby East Bay communities, Fremont Business Park is located right off I-880 at the Auto Mall Parkway exit. Shopping, dining and entertainment is within easy walking distance at the Pacific Commons shopping mall one block away. And employees will find a variety of dealerships to service their cars at the Fremont Auto Mall within minutes of your offices.

Now that you know how well-located Fremont Business Park is, take a few moments to come see this newly renovated complex. A sweeping $2.5 million upgrade has really made it an attractive, comfortable place to do business. For a tour, e-mail Lee Jatta, or call (408) 520-2437. Hurry! Only a limited number of office suites remain available. DRE License #01828564

Announcing the New TEAM Christy

by

TEAM Christy is a unique group that offers big benefits to every business located at Fremont Business Park at Christy Street. Business owners and CEOs are invited to participate in this group at no charge – guided by a certified chairperson from Vistage, the world’s leading organization for CEOs.

Recently, we distributed a survey to solicit your input to ensure that TEAM Christy serves your needs as you desire. Thank you to those who completed and returned surveys. Based on your input, here are a few of the changes that we’ll implement as part of the new TEAM Christy.

New Quarterly Schedule
For starters, TEAM Christy will now meet quarterly. In addition, all meetings will have one or two guest speakers presenting on topics of interest to a broad cross-section of businesses.

These speakers could be CEOs or owners of businesses at Fremont Business Park, who will be sharing their business experience, challenges and how they successfully address them. Or we’ll invite outside experts such as tax specialists or business insurance professionals speaking on timely topics that could impact the majority of businesses.

Other Valuable Opportunities
In addition to the meetings at Fremont Business Park, Christy Street owners and CEOs will be invited to other business enrichment opportunities hosted by nearby TEAM affiliates such as TEAM Club Auto Sport.

For example, all Fremont Business Park business owners or CEOs are cordially invited to:

Club Auto Sport Open Door Series
Top 12 Employment Laws You Need to Know
Wed. October 19th 4:30 – 6:30pm
Roberta S. Hayashi and Kara L. Arguello
Berliner • Cohen
Linda Railton, PHR
Jenkins Insurance Group
RSVP • Anna McQuillan-Rose
(408) 770-1205 • anna@clubautosport.net

What Won’t Be Changing
Here’s the best part – TEAM Christy will continue to offer a great opportunity for businesses at Fremont Business Park to network, refer business to one another, learn from each other, and receive valuable mentoring and leadership guidance from the Vistage chairperson and fellow CEOs at the group’s quarterly meetings.

The next quarterly TEAM Christy meeting will be held:

Thurs. November 10th 11am – 1pm
Fremont Business Park Conference Room
RSVP Lee Jatta (408) 520-2437

Although Fremont Business Park has recently been at 95% occupancy, a few spaces from 300 sq. ft. up to 6,300 sq. ft. by assembling multiple contiguous units have or may soon become available. If you refer us to a business that’s looking for space and they sign a lease agreement at Fremont Business Park, we’ll give you an Apple iPad 2 as a thank you!

We’ll do all the legwork. All we need from you is a name and contact information — and maybe a good word about what a great place this is for business!

For more information about how you can get in on this promotion and receive an iPad 2 as a thank you, contact Lee Jatta at lee@borelli.com, or call (408) 453-4700. DRE License # 01828564

Finding the Right Fit at Fremont Business Park

by


Finding the right office space for your business can be as difficult – and as personal – as shopping for a new home or wardrobe. Your offices have to be sized right – not so big that you’ll get lost in them or so small that they’ll cramp your style – and they should reflect well on your company, communicating your level of professionalism and accomplishment.

Whether it’s just you as you’re starting out, or you’re in a growth phase and need more room for your expanding staff, Fremont Business Park at Christy Street has a variety of suites to fit your needs.


Veto Overpriced Executive Suites
If you’re a start-up, make your first executive decision not to choose a costly executive suite arrangement. You may pay up to $7 per square foot in rent – and get a lot of services and features that you don’t need and never use. With money likely to be tight right now, don’t waste yours!

Fremont Business Park has spaces as small as 310 sq. ft., with key services such as our exclusive, blazing fast, fiber optic-based Internet service available in various bandwidth for amazing low monthly rates.

Looking for something a little bigger? How about 500 sq. ft.? 1,000 sq. ft.? 2,000 sq. ft.? Even 6,000 sq. ft.? Christy Street currently offers a very limited number of office suites in each size category. (For example, only one 6,000 sq. ft. suite is available right now, so if that is just right for your needs, contact Lee Jatta right away!)


Moving Up Made Easy
If your products and services are as well received as you expect, you’ll need more space soon. No worries! Borelli Investment Company makes moving up incredibly easy – without the hassle of packing up, canceling phone and Internet services, ordering new services at a different location, printing new stationery and brochures, and so on.

Just stay put at Fremont Business Park. We work hard to offer options so you can easily move from one suite size to another – all the way to 10,000 sq. ft. – without you ever having to call the moving vans.


A Nice Reflection on your Business
The best part about being at Fremont Business Park is that the $2.5 million renovation that was recently completed has transformed the office complex into a classy, highly professional and inviting place to work. No dark, dingy hallways to walk down or questionable restrooms to visit.

In short, this is a business environment that provides the ideal fit and style – for you and your business.

Want to know more? E-mail Lee Jatta, or call (408) 453-4700 x140. But don’t wait too long. Fremont Business Park’s occupancy has been at 90% to 95% all year. There are only a few spaces left if you want to join one of the most vibrant business communities in the Bay Area. DRE License #01828564
