COMMERCIAL MANAGEMENT Forest City Commercial Management
and / Grant Street Associates have worked together for
over 15 years on the Liberty Center project in Pittsburgh.
We have found Grant Street to be professional in every
sense of the word and have enjoyed our relationship.
They have been able to handle difficult situations,
complex matters, and personalities with egos as big
as the city. While there are larger firms, the quality
of their personnel that have worked with us has always
been what I consider to be the finest available in Pittsburgh.

| WANN Properties, INC.
I have been a builder/ developer in the Pittsburgh
area in excess of 30 years , and I have worked with
many, if not all, agents and firms in the area.
We are in the midst of a high profile multi-office
complex and have come to find that Tim and Rob: - Give
extreme attention to detail
- Are knowledgeable and have the ability to negotiate
with a multitude of personalities with a
minimum of concessions.
- Have a total understanding of market conditions.
- Are willing to go the "extra mile" in
assisting in making our special project successful.
With Tim and Rob, I have no concern when proposal presentations
are made to potential clients. I find they follow up
and keep me up abreast of all details of any ongoing
negotiations.

| RUGBY REALTY
Co, Inc. Grant Street represents us on all of
our Pittsburgh properties and has done so since the
formation of their company in 1993. I can say without
any hesitation or qualification that Grant Street is
at the top of the list as the finest brokerage firm
in Pittsburgh. They have always been able to go the
extra distance to ensure us every opportunity at landing
the deal. They also stick with it until the deal is
done. The second, is their professionalism. In a business
where many are willing to compromise ethics, whether
it be for or against their clients, the partners at
Grant Street have always shown themselves to be unwilling
to take anything but the "straight" path.
It is because of this that Grant Street maintains an
unparalleled reputation among the brokerage community
and a major reason why our company values its relationship
with them.

Boyd Company In early 2001, we contracted your
services to review options available to us relative
to our desire to lease approximately 16,000 square feet
in the City of Pittsburgh. Your team was selected based
on the talent and professionalism you exhibited during
negotiations against some of our previous lease renewals.
Besides the identified buildings we jointly decided
to review your team continued to inform us of other
opportunities that arose over the 9 months we spent
finalizing our decision and negotiation the contract
for office space in Horizon Center.
Your knowledge of the office market industry and the
people working in it was very a valuable resource. Your
honest assessments of the various facilities, offers
presented, and quick counter proposals really kept us
on schedule and focused on the end product. Your implementation
of the final negotiating strategy delivered real dollar
value for our lease term.
