Morning Stroll Through The Park
For a lot of you it is a drive from one particular entry into the park and straight to your office every day, seeing only one section of the park on your daily route. I and my staff, on the other hand, have the privilege of getting to know all parts of the park intimately as we regularly check on various projects and monitor all aspects of the common area. Please take a moment and view the pictures from this morning so you too can get a glimpse of various sections. I may be biased, but I happen to think the park is looking better than ever…

2019 “Why Mom Deserves a Diamond” Winners
Nearly 14,000 Orange County students entered the Why Mom Deserves a Diamond contest this year by writing words of appreciation about their mothers.
Grand prize winners Mai Hai Tran and Allison Kim bestowed quarter-carat diamonds to their mothers. Many other first- and second-place winners won amethysts and garnets.
Since 1993, the contest has given the opportunity for kids to think about why their moms are special, teaches them to be powerful writers, and prepares them for a lifetime of success by building self-esteem.
Founder Diamond Mike Watson established the contest in honor of his adoptive mother, Martha, and the birthmother he had never known. Today, the contest is in honor of all moms.

As my landlord reminds me, every chance he gets…
As my landlord reminds me every chance he gets, with no shortfall of pride in his voice, I do have one of the best views in the park, one I do not take for granted any single day. I am blessed with such scenery as the turtles lining up in a leisurely sun bath, little ducklings tracing their mom’s footstep into adventures of life, even exotic birds making landfall from time to time to prey on the less fortunate of the wild life. I also enjoy the hustle and bustle that has settled in with the high occupancy the park enjoys these days; people walking their dogs in their break, a lady from the VA making her daily walk around the pond, the kids from Spectrum Autism playing on the grass, businesses leveraging the beautiful pond for their promotional photo shoots and energizing the landscape with the likes of black and white umbrellas from Gallery of Diamonds or the nicely suited attorneys from Higbee & Associates.
Most importantly, I want to share with you the pleasure I receive watching frequent visits to the free library (Box O’ Books) by the pond, right in my line of sight. Last week I witnessed a book being checked out only minutes after I checked it in myself. With that prelude I like to ask all to:
- Please donate books. The library needs a fresh supply and everyone appreciates books, especially when they come recommended.
- Please do return the books you borrow after having read them.
- Please exercise utmost care to protect and preserve the books borrowed.
And to notch it up one level, let’s make it interesting through an interactive exchange of thoughts by leaving notes on stickies in the book. Whether it is a high level observation about the book or the writer, a commentary on specific sections, rebuttal to a point made, a take away, revelation, disappointment, critiques, etc. go a long way in providing different perspectives to all readers. Counter comments are encouraged as I am sure they will make for interesting read as the book gets handed over from one person to the next.
Of course all comments are anonymous and all to be in good taste and made with respect.
Please note while the original owner donating the book may make markings in the book, all borrowers should make such comments on stickies only.
Thank you for your participation.

Beginning in 1993 in honor of Gallery of Diamonds’ founder Diamond Mike Watson in honor of his adoptive mother and birthmother who died before he met her, the contest is now in honor of all moms, and all those who are significant in our lives.

REHOMING BEES
Recent Santa Ana winds stripped the leaves of one of our trees and exposed a massive beehive. Clearly we considered it too large to exterminate as it was home to thousands of endangered beeings. A relocating service was found to safely box and transport the hive to their new home. Click here for pictures and video!

Arrival of the Ultra Ducks!
12/17/2016 – A trio of mammoth mallards has winged in to Brookhollow. Larger and more aggressive than our ducky denizens, these newcomers will decisively rush you for a handout. Calls to City, County and Private Animal Control services have all referred to Federal protections of migratory birds. They may mean to stay, so stash your munchies and let’s encourage the bratty birds to fly away!
2/13/2017 UPDATE:

Economic Recovery for Region’s Offices
April 17, 2011 | By Roger Vincent, Los Angeles Times
After three years of decline in the office leasing business, the worst is over, landlords and brokers said.
Companies that hunkered down during the economic slump may not be doing much hiring yet, but many were confident enough about their futures to sign office leases in the first quarter, brokers said. In addition, attractive rental terms spurred deals across Southern California.
“The general feeling is that we have arrived at a plateau and things have become more predictable,” said broker Mark Sullivan of Studley. “And when things are predictable, you tend to see more activity.”
More than 5.5 million square feet worth of leases were signed in the first quarter, a 37% increase from the same period in 2010, according to a report by brokerage Cushman & Wakefield.
That still wasn’t enough to end the long slide in occupancy, however, as overall vacancy in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties rose to 19.5% from 18.9% a year ago.
Rents also continued down as landlords cozied up to tenants in a competitive marketplace. Average asking rents were $2.31 per square foot per month, a 9 cent drop from last year’s first quarter.
“We are very much in a tenant’s market and will be very much in a tenant’s market perhaps through the third quarter of this year,” said Joe Vargas, an executive vice president at Cushman & Wakefield. “There is a lot of vacancy that has to be eaten away.”
While an economic recovery is underway, hiring so far has been insufficient to drive many tenants to expand their offices. Frequently, brokers say, when tenants renew their leases they are taking less space than they had a few years ago because they have downsized or are fitting employees into smaller work spaces.
That pattern puts pressure on landlords, who “are getting more and more aggressive,” said broker Whitley Collins of Jones Lang LaSalle. “Landlords are desperate to get new tenants because there is so little demand.”
Nearly every lease signed in the last three years was a renewal, Collins said.
Landlords dropped rents to prevent tenants from leaving and few tenants have wanted to spend what it takes to move. It routinely costs from $55 to $125 per square foot to prepare new offices for occupancy, not including desks and furniture. Even with a generous contribution from the landlord for space improvements, upfront costs can be substantial.

Recycling Program Update: Recycling Cans Reduced
8/11/10 – UPDATED NEWS
Brookhollow Office Park’s recycling program has been up and running for the last few months and we are starting to see positive results. We have increased the number of recycling bins within the park. These “Recycle Only” bins are located in the trash enclosures near 1504, 1518, 1524, 1526 and 1538. We are closely monitoring the entire park and are finding that more businesses and/or their janitorial services companies are participating at this point. We still have a ways to go to reach our goal and ask that if you have not yet implemented a recycling program in your office or have not contacted your janitorial company and instructed them to properly dispose of refuse and recycling that you jump on board right away. If you need assistance with this please don’t hesitate to contact Carrie at the Association Management office.
In an effort to further support Owners and to make the program more user friendly, the Association has purchased a bundle of recycle trash cans at bulk pricing. We have been distributing one (1) can to each business throughout the park. If we have missed you please come by the Mgmt Office and pick up your FREE Recycling trash can.
More cans are available for purchase at a discounted price of $3.50 ea. for individual purchases and $2.50 ea for purchases of 3+ cans. You can call the Management Office at 714-662-2799 to purchase more as you may need.
REMINDER: Boxes must be broken down before being placed in the recycling bins.

New Recycling Program Coming to Brookhollow
5/11/10 – Brookhollow Office Park is going Green. As part of the 5-year strategic plan, Brookhollow will begin phasing in recycle bins at designated enclosures as shown on the map below. Recycling bins will not only allow us to join millions of other business’ who are making the same green transition, but will also create savings of $900 a month from reduced trash costs (albeit with your cooperation). It is very important that tenants and owners use the recycle bins. Non-trash items thrown in the trash bins will have to be seperately picked up at additional expense to the association. Management will be monitoring both trash bins and recycle bins and will cite those in violation of the new rules; tenants in violation of the policy will be charged the additional fees.
As with all things Brookhollow, success is dependent on a group effort.
Please read this letter detailing the new trash program and share with your employees and tenants

Old Crazy Horse lot changes ownership — Developer in Talks with City and Potential Buyers
3/25/10 – After over 10 years of vacancy, the old Crazy Horse Lot located between the 55 & Grand Ave will begin development. That is if new owner Jorge Stambuck has his way. Purchasing the lot earlier this year, Jorge was able to get plans for a two-building food-court quickly approved with the city, but he isn’t stopping there.
“This property is the entrance to the commercial district of Santa Ana, and that’s not me pitching you, that’s what the city told me,” Jorge commented. “We need to find the best possible use for this lot. In doing this simple exercise we have rounded up significant interest in the property.”
Indeed, since he has listed the property on the MLS for re-sale in case his development plans are side-tracked, Jorge has solicited interest from Major Hotel Developers, Retailers, and even a Developer looking to build an Indoor-Sports-Complex. The City itself is pushing for a high-class, high-impact project that will benefit not only the Business Park but the entire City as well.
If a Hotel is to be built, it will have to be a major full-service operation including an indoor restaurant, bar, gym, and large conference area. Conceptual plans have been drawn and are being circulated and discussed with city planners. No doubt the City would also love to have a multi-million dollar Indoor-Sports-Complex built right off its Dyer freeway entrance.
In the end, if a suitable buyer for the property can’t be found, Jorge might just stick with the food complex as there is a strong need both within the business park and in the surrounding areas including freeway traffic.
For now, Brookhollow owners and tenants can be happy to know that a high-profile, high-impact project is in the works right next door to them. Tenants and owners can hope to expect a bump in traffic and property values to coincide with this new development.

Brookhollow Gets a Face Lift

Brookhollow Park-Wide Sign Program Revised
3/20/10 – Brookhollow Office Park Association is aggressively pursuing a revamp of its existing monument signs program. The goal is to redesign and relocate the park’s 5 current signs to enhance visibility and leverage the signs to better advertise individual businesses with added placeholders.
The board of directors is also pushing hard to include LED signs at the top of monument that will display rotating images of the businesses, their promotions, as well as park scenery.
Shirin Zarkesh, Association President commented, “We have huge frontage on the freeway that is not being leveraged currently. The goal is to capture the highway traffic to our advantage.”
Shirin went on to discuss the internal beauty and potential of the park that remains vastly unknown to many people. For further information, please refer to the first submission of the sign plan given to the city on March 23rd.
Stay tuned for updates.
