Office Overview

In 1982 two of the founding principals of Concordis Northbridge Group pioneered in Northern California the strategy of exclusively representing governmental units, regulated industries, services firms and industrial companies that had a need to lease or purchase real estate or dispose of surplus space. As a certified M/WBE, Concordis Northbridge's focus has been on the representation of organizations that promote diversity within their business plan. Four former directors of corporate real estate for major companies developed a scope of services and set of processes that still guide their business today.
