by Rebecca Walker — September 14, 2009—Moman Architects, based in Round Rock, Texas, has launched a Web-based tool to aggregate industry professionals and resources related to commercial property development and help make connections among them.
John Moman, AIA, principal and owner of Moman Architects, says the Property Investment Connection (PIC) Web site brings together resources for commercial property development, answering a need for such an online community of related professionals.
The firm says PIC provides the real estate industry’s only interactive cross-platform resource tool solely dedicated to commercial development. Although people looking for such information could do it piecemeal through other Web sites, Moman notes, PIC brings together developers, investors, architects, real estate agents and brokers, financial institutions, title companies, engineers/consultants and investors in one place.
The impetus for the idea was to generate site plans as part of a larger marketing effort the firm trademarked as “ORBIT,” which maximizes investments by forging collaborations with commercial lending institutions and development brokers to pursue regional development projects. The ORBIT process stands for “Opportunities in the Region for Brokers and Institutions through Test-fits.”
PIC gives members a custom company/professional profile pages to showcase their work history and experience, and a members-only bulletin board and in-network messaging.
