IRVINE, CA—(May 2, 2002). Wentz Group, a leading California-based general contractor for 28 years, has been awarded a contract by RREEF to renovate a single tenant warehouse to accommodate three new tenants. The project, located at 2102 Alton Parkway in Irvine, began earlier this month and completion is slated for June 2002.

Designed by DeRevere and Associates of Newport Beach, CA, the renovation will offer esthetic upgrades and modernization to the exterior elevation of the building. The single story, 91,000-square-foot industrial warehouse will receive new blue glass windows, new plaster skin and paint. A new entry with upgraded handicap ramps, stairs and handrails will be added. The entry will also be embellished with false columns made of copper-colored metal. A 60-car parking lot and upscale landscaping will also be added. In addition, two demising walls will be built to accommodate three separate tenants.

"I’ve had a long standing relationship with the Wentz Group and have always found their service and personnel to be exceptional," said Tony Vaccaro, director of field services for PRES Development and Construction Management Services, Inc. "I am not surprised that the RREEF renovation is off to a great start."

"This project is a continuation of the upgrading of older buildings that began in the Irvine industrial area over the past several years," says Brian Parno, vice president of Southern California for Wentz Group. "While the economy has slowed for new construction, this type of project continues to be in demand."
