TAYLOR launches Empire Commercial Construction - new retail division

TAYLOR, a leading regional commercial building contractor - was proud to announce the launch of their new retail division earlier this year - Empire Commercial Construction. This new general contracting operation specializes in quick turn-around commercial and retail space for local and national clients across New York State and surrounding areas. Seeing the need for a reliable alternative in the upstate New York retail marketplace, Taylor launched Empire Commercial Construction earlier this year with the same focus on integrity and service as the parent firm. TAYLOR has recruited accomplished retail specialist Ed Perkins to supplement their seasoned project team and Empire has already started to serve local and national developers, retail chains, restaurants and commercial clients as they grow across our territory. "The nature of retail construction requires a nimbler contractor with a lower overhead structure," said CEO Jim Taylor. "But in many cases this has led to sacrifices in project safety or reliability. With our model at Empire, we will maintain our established levels of quality and service while hitting a competitive price point that the market demands." Empire Commercial Construction is the retail division of TAYLOR-The Builders, with over 25 years of experience in Upstate New York and across the northeast United States. Our project professionals have successfully completed scores of renovations, build-outs and pad locations for premier national restaurant and retailers, and we'll make sure it's built right, on time, the first time. The retail expertise of senior project manager Perkins was added to lead the Empire team and to further infuse the retail experience available to go beyond every customer's goals and expectations. Having successfully completed dozens of new construction and remodels for nationally recognized retailers, such as Panera Bread, Vera Bradley, L.L. Bean, Wal-Mart, Panda Express and Red Robin, Ed uses his knowledge to streamline the construction process maintaining tight quality controls to make sure it's built right the first time. Empire Commercial Construction approaches each project as a partnership and adheres to the core principles of integrity, ingenuity and reliability. The result is the product you want, efficiently delivered, at a price that makes sense. Simply put...retail built right. Find out more by visiting their new website, www.EmpireCommercialConstruction.com or calling 585-249-9198. Empire's parent company, TAYLOR, is a second-generation general contractor with over 40 years of experience in the design and construction of office, commercial, industrial, multifamily and institutional buildings, having successfully completed hundreds of projects - both large and small. Whether it's new building or renovation, Taylor has the resources to deliver enhanced execution on all phases of your project from the ground up.

The death of the generic offering memorandum: What buyers expect in 2025 - by Kimberly Zar Bloorian

There was a time when an offering memorandum (OM) was pretty bare bones, some photos, a few bullet points on income, and a rent roll thrown in at the back. That used to get the job done. Not anymore. In 2025, buyers are sharper, faster, and more selective. They’re looking

Many long-time property owners are divesting from their rent stabilized properties at an increasingly rapid pace. This trend has gained momentum primarily due to the unyielding permanence of rent laws over the past six years and the increasing operating costs that continue to outstrip rent growth.
