First Horizon Home Loan Signs at Prestigious Downtown Building Called one of the “Greenest” in Honolulu

HONOLULU, HI – PM Realty Group, a national real estate firm with one of Hawaii’s largest commercial leasing and property management portfolios, today announced that First Horizon Home Loan has signed a 13,000-square-foot lease at Alii Place in downtown Honolulu. Alii Place is a premier Class-A building which won the honor of “Hale Po’ Okela” or House of Excellence Award in 1999, awarded by BOMA-Hawaii. PM Realty Group represents both the building owner Bristol Group and also the tenant.

Located at 1099 Alakea Street, Alii Place has 316,142 square feet of space in two buildings, one of 23 floors and the other, nine. The prime location in the Central Business District allows for easy commuting for tenants. The building was built in 1992. In addition to the House of Excellence Award, Alii Place was also awarded the BOMA- Hawaii Building of the Year in 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1999. Alii Place has been called one of the “Greenest” buildings in Hawaii. In 2002, Hawaiian Electric installed energy-efficient equipment which includes retrofit lighting, air conditioning and other equipment designed to use less electricity. The building was awarded the Energy Star award in 2002 from the Environmental Protection Agency, the first privately owned office building in Hawaii to get that recognition.

“PM Realty Group is pleased to be working with the Bristol Group on this amazing property,” said Scott Kuklish, Senior Vice President at PM Realty Group. “The environmentally-friendly building, which has won numerous customer satisfaction awards, rarely offers open space for new tenants.”

The new tenant, First Horizon Home Loans is headquartered in Irving, Texas, and is a full-service mortgage company ranking among the nation’s largest in both origination and servicing.

Matthew Bittick, Vice President of PM Realty Group represents Bristol Group for all new leasing activity in the building. Additionally, Bittick also represents First Horizon Home Loan’s real estate portfolio throughout Hawaii.

“This state-of-the-art building will be the perfect home for First Horizon Home Loan,” said Matt Bittick. “I am sure that all employees will be delighted with the location, parking options and amenities.”
