Kuklish Appointed Senior V.P. to Head Operations in Fast-growing Regional Transportation Hub
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - PM Realty Group, one of the country’s leading full-service commercial real estate firms, today announced the opening of a Sacramento office at Wells Fargo Tower, 400 Capital Mall, to better serve clients throughout Northern California and the Pacific Northwest. To head the new office, PM Realty Group has appointed R. Scott Kuklish to the position of senior vice president-Northwest Region.
As part of the Northwest Region, the Sacramento office provides operational support and business development resources to PM Realty Group offices in Honolulu, Denver, San Francisco and Seattle, and draws on the full range of expertise and resources of the national real estate services firm. Its commitment to the Sacramento market allows PM Realty Group to offer institutional-quality property services to local property owners, developers and corporations.
“We are pleased to extend our high quality service capabilities to clients in Sacramento, and with the appointment of Scott Kuklish, we are confident that the new office will meet our demanding standards of client service and satisfaction,” said James A. Proehl, senior vice president and director of the Western Division of PM Realty Group. “Scott’s experience as an entrepreneurial developer and property manager, along with his reputation and contacts in the Sacramento market, will ensure our success in the region.”
“Sacramento is rapidly becoming a top-tier market due to its attractive business climate and high quality of life,” Kuklish said. “We’re seeing a lot of companies moving here from San Francisco and Silicon Valley because Sacramento offers a relatively low cost of living, less traffic congestion, available land for development and a well-educated workforce. “These factors help explain why the region’s population is expected to double by 2010.”
“Establishing a local presence in Sacramento allows us to address the needs of clients in a market that is growing rapidly,” said Rick Kirk, president of PM Realty Group. “As clients become increasingly interested in Sacramento, we will be in a position to offer them the same high-quality service that they have come to expect from us across the country.”
