MISSION CRITICAL – DALLAS FIRM LAUNCHES “PROJECT FLO”

June 2004, Dallas, TX – “Project Flo” was launched with a call from Partners National Mission Critical Facilities about a secret client looking to expand in the southeast. The secret client was The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation, a New York-based finance powerhouse. DTCC is the world’s largest provider of technology infrastructure for financial transactions spanning stocks, bonds, mutual fund shares and pensions. The horrors of 9/11 wiped out communication links for many firms in the world’s financial capital. This was a major factor in DTCC’s decision to create a new operating center away from the New York metropolitan region.

DTCC announced that it is setting up a major operation center in Tampa, an area becoming known as the Wall Street of the South. ETCC will bring 500 jobs to the area by the end of 2007, with an average annual salary of about $72,000.

Partners National Mission Critical Facilities is pleased to have represented DTCC in the acquisition of space in the Highwoods Preserve, an office park in the New Tampa area developed by REIT Highwoods Properties.

PNMCF is nationally recognized as the premier real estate brokerage company assisting financial, insurance, telemarketing, and other Fortune 1000 companies in researching and procuring mission critical facilities for data centers, call centers, disaster recovery centers, and operations centers.
