DEAR EMPLOYEES AND FRIENDS:

We are very concerned about our tenants that have been forced to cease operations and are actively lobbying our representatives in State and Federal government to support Small Businesses and their employees through direct assistance. We encourage you to do so as well! We are also hopeful that the Federal government will provide emergency modifications to banking regulations that will support the Commercial Real Estate industry as well. We have also been gathering as much information as possible to share with our tenants during this crisis and here are some ideas:

Small Business Assistance:

State of Florida Program :

The Florida Small Business Emergency Bridge Loan Program to support small businesses impacted by COVID-19. The bridge loan program will provide short-term, interest-free loans to small businesses that experienced economic injury from COVID-19.

•The application period is open and runs through May 8, 2020. More information is at FloridaDisasterLoan.org

•The Business Damage Assessment survey has been activated to assess the impact of COVID-19 on Florida’s local business operations. The survey, managed by DEO, will evaluate businesses affected by COVID-19 and the impacts the virus has had on the local economy so actions to implement appropriate relief programs can begin.

The survey can be taken online at https://floridadisaster.biz/

Please share and let us know if you have any other ideas. Together we will get through this,

Stay healthy,

C is for COURTELIS COMPANY

Dear Clients, Partners and Friends:

2019 began with new goals, new ideas and a new vision of our Courtelis brand.

Our “C” logo was redesigned and redefined each month, to give us a fresh perspective on our brand and mission.

January started with a CHANGE. We tried out new strategies to improve work tactics, attitudes, and performance. Real Estate is constantly changing and evolving so we have to adapt to stay ahead of the game.

With change comes COMMITMENT. Our employees renewed their dedication to provide excellent customer service to our clients, partners, and colleagues.

CREATIVITY helps to stimulate “out of the box” thinking and we researched new and exciting concepts that will breathe new life into our retail developments and our communities.

CONSERVATION. We remain dedicated to protecting our environment and we made a commitment to recycling in our office and switched to more environmentally friendly materials.

CONNECTIONS are critically important in life and business, especially in our world of deal-making and relationship building.

C for CHARACTER was dedicated to Alec P. Courtelis, the founder of Courtelis Company who was a man of great leadership, espousing education, hard work, and charity. A man of true CHARACTER.

COLLABORATION recognized that success comes with sharing insights and new information with colleagues and industry friends.

CONSTRUCTION – We kicked off several new development projects in 2019, highlighted by Murano at Three Oaks.

CALIENTE showcased Hispanic businesses in our shopping centers and communities as well as saluted the diverse Hispanic heritages of our team members.

CARING was dedicated to Cancer awareness, and good health.

Creating COMMUNITIES looked at our business model and recognized that each of our properties represents more than just buildings. They impact the COMMUNITY in many ways

So the Courtelis Company redefined itself as a community developer and manager in 2019 and looks forward to working with each of you in 2020. We thank all staff for their hard work and efforts in this initiative.

Happy New Year!
