classy look

cheekiness

skin texture – but is in full makeup and nail polish (hand
on chin) to emphasise the option of wearing make up
• TheTag line is in light white font on a grey back ground
for a subliminal message that life is not always black and
white – there some grey areas too

37. Summary Portfolio – Commercial Real Estate
San Francisco, CA
A ChamberlinAssoc.Development
The Challenge
Federal Express needed a last-mile distribution facility adjacent to
a primary freeway interchange for their overnight delivery service
in the Tri-Valley.
Solution
Because of our extensive knowledge of the region, we were able
to uncover an off-market site at a freeway interchange that was
critical to FedEx's overnight distribution system. In addition, we
effectively carried out creative site planning to integrate the
client's requirements with an irregularly shaped site. Our deep
experience and detailed knowledge of what was permitted
allowed us to make extensive modifications to their generic
building specifications without any loss of functionality.
The site was highly visible and the local municipality strongly
opposed our use. Through tenacious pursuit of approvals, we
were able to overcome their objections to deliver this key site to
our client.
Chamberlin Associates completed site selection, site and space
design, approvals and permit management, shell and tenant
improvement construction, and financing.
Result
Federal Express acquired a long-term lease and a turnkey build-to-
suit for a 98,000 square foot distribution building on an ideal site,
despite land constraints and city objections.

approached me with a pitch to help launch LaVinci. Jennifer devised a PR campaign
strategy & delivery that led to a successful customer centric engagement within a very
