Wearable Tech Devices and Trends at Wearable Computing Conference 2014 San Francisco on March 18

Building off of the momentum of past successful conferences, Golden Networking takes Wearable Computing Conference 2014 (www.wearable-computing-conference.com) global: New York City, San Francisco, London, Seoul and Munich, "How Wearable Technologies are Revolutionizing Mobile Wireless Internet, Healthcare and Fashion".

New York City, NY, USA (February 16, 2014) -- InformationWeek's Kristin Burnham claims to have seen the future. Accessories that buzz when the email you've been waiting for lands in your inbox. Devices that help you sleep more soundly. Gadgets that photograph and document your day, start to finish. Meet the latest innovations in the rapidly growing -- and lucrative -- industry of wearable tech, at Golden Networking's Wearable Computing Conference 2014 (http://www.wearable-computing-conference.com), "How Wearable Technologies are Revolutionizing Mobile Wireless Internet, Healthcare and Fashion", forums to be held throughout 2014 in San Francisco (March 18), London (May 29), New York City (January 30), Seoul (September 25) and Munich (November 20).

Research company Visiongain predicts that the global wearable tech market will reach $4.6 billion this year. "With virtually limitless applications to a number of verticals, the wearable technology market represents a huge value proposition to all ecosystem members, from manufacturers to app developers and service report providers," the company's recent research report stated.

Among the verticals pouncing on the trend, the healthcare industry has rolled out a number of promising remote patient monitoring technologies, such as a bracelet that monitors a patient's vitals, a device that determines the severity of a person's sleep apnea and a wireless sensor that monitors fetal and maternal heart rates. The fitness industry has also embraced the wearable tech trend, introducing the popular Fitbit and Nike's FuelBand, both of which analyze your daily activity and track your weight. Jawbone, a wristband gadget, tracks how you sleep, exercise and eat.

But Google Glass and the emerging crop of smartwatches have generated the most buzz for wearable tech. The general public still can't buy Google Glass, augmented reality glasses that the company began testing in April 2012. But developers have rolled out a number of apps, including Path and Evernote integration.

Golden Networking's Wearable Computing Conference 2014, "How Wearable Technologies are Revolutionizing Mobile Wireless Internet, Healthcare and Fashion," will examine wearable technologies' functions, application, the competition and possibilities for economic and personal growth. Golden Networking's Wearable Computing Conference 2014 will review the latest developments in San Francisco (http://wearabletechnologiessanfrancisco.eventbrite.com), London (http://wearabletechnologieslondon.eventbrite.com), New York City (http://wearabletechnologiesnewyorkcity.eventbrite.com), Seoul (http://wearabletechnologiesseoul.eventbrite.com) and Munich (http://wearabletechnologiesmunich.eventbrite.com).

Why Wearable Tech is all but Fad at Conferences in San Francisco, New York, London, Seoul and Munich

Building off of the momentum of past successful conferences, Golden Networking takes Wearable Computing Conference 2014 (www.wearable-computing-conference.com) global: New York City, San Francisco, London, Seoul and Munich, "How Wearable Technologies are Revolutionizing Mobile Wireless Internet, Healthcare and Fashion".

New York City, NY, USA (February 16, 2014) -- Is wearable technology definitely destined for the great success that its many advocates might suggest? Hundreds of developers and enthusiasts about these technologies will find out at Golden Networking's Wearable Computing Conference 2014 (http://www.wearable-computing-conference.com), "How Wearable Technologies are Revolutionizing Mobile Wireless Internet, Healthcare and Fashion", forums to be held throughout 2014 in San Francisco (http://www.wearabletechsanfrancisco.eventbrite.com), London (http://www.wearabletechlondon.eventbrite.com), New York City (http://www.wearabletechnologies.eventbrite.com), Seoul (http://www.wearabletechseoul.eventbrite.com) and Munich (http://www.wearabletechmunich.eventbrite.com).

As reported by Forbes contributor Georgiana Foster, for real success in the world of technology, entirely new products must be introduced that can create entirely new markets, thus impacting society on a much deeper level. At the moment, a lot of what she is seeing just doesn't do all that much. And for a trend that includes the word 'wearable' in its product description, she claims she honestly wouldn't be caught dead in a lot of it.

There seems to be a huge gap between what is being made and what the female consumer, in particular, would be willing to purchase, Foster continues on her argument. "Almost everything available is currently too chunky and masculine. The products seem to be aimed at men with a vague hope that (maybe) some women might like them. Let's think about who, between men and women, is more likely to wear an accessory, or even multiple accessories at the same time to begin with. Surely the answer is transparently obvious."

Design needs to be a much more important factor when it comes to wearable technology, in order for it to appeal to absolutely everyone, including women. Foster can't help but wonder if it's a case of the tech industry simply needing more female designers? But even more crucially, these products need a real use and purpose. In this new digital age, what a brand actually means is just as, if not more, important to the consumer than simply what it does. It doesn't take a genius to predict that the brand that manages to reach equilibrium between style and substance holds the key to tech world domination, she concludes.

The future is here, with the production of a new generation of technologies such as Google Glass, Apple "iWatch" and Samsung Galaxy Gear, among others, that will allow users to interact with computing devices that are worn by the bearer under, with or on top of clothing. Wearable Computing Conference 2014 will review the latest developments in San Francisco (http://www.wearablecompconsanfrancisco.eventbrite.com), London (http://www.wearablecompconlondon.eventbrite.com), New York City (http://www.wearablecompcon.eventbrite.com), Seoul (http://www.wearablecompconseoul.eventbrite.com) and Munich (http://www.wearablecompconmunich.eventbrite.com).

Google Glass at Wearable Computing Conference 2014 San Francisco, New York, London, Seoul and Munich

Building off of the momentum of past successful conferences, Golden Networking takes Wearable Computing Conference 2014 (www.wearable-computing-conference.com) global: New York City, San Francisco, London, Seoul and Munich, "How Wearable Technologies are Revolutionizing Mobile Wireless Internet, Healthcare and Fashion".

New York City, NY, USA (February 16, 2014) -- According to a report by CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/21/tech/innovation/google-glass-firefighter), Patrick Jackson has developed an app for Google Glass, Google's experimental head-mounted computer, which feeds important information directly to the eye-line of firefighters in an emergency. When a building is on fire, every second counts for the first responders rushing to the scene. This computer-savvy firefighter in North Carolina is hoping a bit of futuristic wearable technology and clever programming can help save time and lives, themes that will be covered at Golden Networking's Wearable Computing Conference 2014 (http://www.wearable-computing-conference.com), "How Wearable Technologies are Revolutionizing Mobile Wireless Internet, Healthcare and Fashion", forums to be held throughout 2014 in San Francisco (March 18), London (May 29), New York City (July 31), Seoul (September 25) and Munich (November 20).

A self-taught programmer, Jackson first started tinkering with computers when he was 7 and later spent a year studying computer science in college before transferring to the University of North Carolina, Asheville, for an environmental management and policy program. He became a firefighter. About four years ago, he purchased a smartphone and was inspired to start programming again. "Since then I've taught myself way more than I ever knew about programming. I've developed an Android app, an iPhone app and a Glass app," Jackson said.

His first project was the Android app Firefighter Log, which routed key information directly to the smartphone, including text messages from dispatchers, streams of emergency radio feeds, and location information for fires and nearby hydrants. Jackson says more than 20,000 people have downloaded the apps. To get his hands on Google Glass, Jackson submitted his idea to Google's IfIHadGlass competition.

By routing information directly to Google Glass, the app can save firefighters from having to stop what they're doing in order to reach for a radio, smartphone, tablet or computer. Jackson plans on adding even more useful data in future versions, like information on specific buildings including blueprints, potential building hazards and contact information for owners. A firefighter might be able to say an address out loud or simply look at a building with the Google Glass camera to retrieve information.

Google Glass can also record the first video of a situation when crews arrive. That early documentation will be important to fire investigations down the line. For now, Google Glass isn't compatible with the oxygen masks firefighters wear on the ground, so the app is more for external personnel. Jackson's Glass stays behind in the truck.

Other fire departments and researchers also are experimenting with wearable technology, thanks to a recent availability of affordable wearable sensors that can track vitals and environmental factors like air quality and temperature. The Wearable Advanced Sensor Platform, or WASP, can track a firefighter's location as well as physical data such as heart rate, breathing and activity levels in real time. A Belgium finalist for Microsoft's Imagine Cup created a system that combines location sensors and augmented reality glasses to help firefighters move around buildings when there is minimal visibility.

The future is here, with the production of a new generation of technologies such as Google Glass, Apple "iWatch" and Samsung Galaxy Gear, among others, that will allow users to interact with computing devices that are worn by the bearer under, with or on top of clothing. Wearable Computing Conference 2014 will review the latest developments in San Francisco (http://www.wearabletechnologiessanfrancisco.eventbrite.com), London (http://www.wearabletechnologieslondon.eventbrite.com), New York City (http://www.wearabletechnologiesnewyorkcity.eventbrite.com), Seoul (http://www.wearabletechnologiesseoul.eventbrite.com) and Munich (http://www.wearabletechnologiesmunich.eventbrite.com).

Marti White is Named Gallery's New Featured Artist

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is very pleased to announce that Arizona artist, Marti White is the gallery's new featured artist.

Jupiter, FL, USA (February 15, 2014) -- Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is very pleased to announce that Arizona artist, Marti White is the gallery's new featured artist. Marti will now be in the gallery's Artist Showcase section and be promoted by the gallery for the next 30 days.

Marti White lives, creates and works in Tucson, Arizona. Marti's artistic interests have taken various forms over more than half a century, beginning with the creative play of a child, the usual art classes in school and college, and then a series of classes with various teachers in various media - pencil, ink, oil, watercolor, acrylic, mixed media and collage. To Marti, watercolor has brought her years of satisfying work as she paints mostly from the natural world - flowers, landscapes, and small wonders of the forest and field.

Marti describes her artistic growth and path since moving to Arizona, "When we moved to the West to retire, I felt that it called for a new artistic path to go along with a new life, in a new place. I found a wonderful teacher in mixed media and embarked on a discovery of painting from the heart. Learning to just let my colors and media take me wherever they pulled me was an exciting new adventure in expression. It seemed that these new paintings came from the center of my very being and were very spiritual in nature. By painting from my gut instead of my head, with no concern for what the paintings meant or whether they looked like something, I was able to free up some inner person that I had never known before."

Recently, Marti has been exploring something that she likes to call "Apertures" - openings - windows into what is behind the surface of the painting. This series of paintings and collages has grown over several years and she has found it interesting to develop a multi-layered work that seems to contain mysteries to be discovered, pathways into the depth of the painting. It is Marti's hope that her artwork tells a very personal story to the viewer. Marti's website is http://www.artbymartiwhite.com.

Revenues from Transparent Conductors Using Silver Nanowires Will Exceed $225 million by 2019

Although negligible at present, the market for transparent conductors (TCs) using silver nanowires and other silver nanomaterials is expected to generate more than $225 million in revenues by 2019. This is according to a report just published by NanoMarkets titled, "Market for Silver Nanomaterials as Transparent Conductors, 2014-2020."

Glen Allen, Virginia (February 14, 2014) -- Although negligible at present, the market for transparent conductors (TCs) using silver nanowires and other silver nanomaterials is expected to generate more than $225 million in revenues by 2019. This is according to a report just published by NanoMarkets titled, "Market for Silver Nanomaterials as Transparent Conductors, 2014-2020."


The new report follows a recent NanoMarkets report titled, "Markets for Metal Meshes as Transparent Conductors-2014" that continued the firm's coverage of the transparent conductor. See more details at: http://www.nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/markets-for-metal-meshes-as-transparent-conductors-2014.

About the report:

The growth of the touch-screen market has focused efforts on alternative materials that might make a dent in ITO's dominance as a transparent conductor. Several years ago the hype was all about carbon nanotubes, but now it appears that nanomaterials made from silver are much more likely to gain market share.

In this report, we assess the current state of the market for transparent conductors made with silver nanowires and silver nanoparticles. This report draws from research gathered from NanoMarkets ongoing industry research program in the area of transparent conductors, but we have also brought the story right up to date based on the latest developments in the sector, showing what the current prospects are for silver nanomaterials in the transparent conductor sector.

This report describes the capabilities and strategies of the leading silver nanomaterial-based transparent conductor suppliers and also discusses commercially interesting developments at other firms. In addition, this report contains an updated granular eight-year forecast of the silver nanomaterial market as a part of the larger transparent conductor market and also forecasts the market in all the key applications where silver nanowires have potential to gain traction.

The all-important application here is touch screens, and that is the most likely place for silver materials considered in this report to succeed. But this report also discusses other applications including LCD and OLED displays, OLED lighting and PV panels. NanoMarkets believes that this report will provide the reader with deep strategic insight into new developments and market forecasts for this important sector of the transparent conductor market.

Among the firms that are discussed in this report are: 3M, Cambrios, Carestream, Cima NanoTech, ClearJet, E Ink, Fujimori Kogyo, G24, Heliatek, JTOUCH, LG, NISSHA, Novaled, Saint-Gobain, Samsung, SeaShell Technology, Sumitomo, Tata Steel, Toray, and TPK Film Solutions.

From the report:

Firms offering silver nanomaterial TCs will have to move beyond their current focus on touch panels, since larger displays do not use touch extensively and touch control may eventually be supplanted by gestural control. One possibility is that silver nanomaterial firms will discover TC markets in the solar panel segment or perhaps OLED lighting. Ultimately, however, silver nanomaterial-based TC firms will have to find new business in the mainstream LCD sector, or they will never generate substantial revenues. There are already small signs that this can happen. For example, Cambrios has worked with Sumitomo to incorporate Cambrios' ink into LCDs. The LCD market is huge, however, so even a tiny penetration of it by silver nanomaterials can lead to substantial revenues. NanoMarkets thinks that more than half of the revenues for suppliers of silver nanomaterial TCs will come from LCDs by 2019.

Silver nanomaterials face strong competition from many other TC materials but can claim certain advantages. Because nanomaterials form a random network, they don't have the risk of visible Moiré patterns that can be a concern with the increasingly popular metal meshes. Silver nanomaterial TC manufacturers are already using this as a selling point to distinguish their materials from meshes.

Meanwhile, commercial silver nanomaterials TCs have reduced haze to the point where they look better than ITO. Silver nanomaterials can also be patterned by passivating areas in the ink eliminating a need an index matching layer, which is required when ITO is used. In fact, patterning is becoming a market distinguishing feature for silver nanomaterial TC products and each company has its own approach. 3M, for example, provides pre-patterned films and claims that this enables it to be cost-competitive with ITO because it saves the customer the time and expense of etching and patterning. But some TC suppliers firms believe that having customers pattern the films themselves is an advantage because it provides flexibility to create novel sensor and displays designs.

The Huffington Post Praises Knightmare on Wall Street: Perez's Book Takes the Reader on a Wild Ride

Edgar Perez, former McKinsey and IBM consultant, is a global speaker and author of The Speed Traders, Knightmare on Wall Street, and the forthcoming The 11th-Hour Deal, Behind Washington's Closed Doors During the 16-day Government Shutdown of October 2013.

New York, NY, USA (February 14, 2014) -- Knightmare on Wall Street, The Rise and Fall of Knight Capital and the Biggest Risk for Financial Markets, was recently reviewed by The Huffington Post which praised its "great historical analysis and insights into what exactly went wrong" with Knight Capital. "Edgar Perez's book takes the reader on a wild ride. A forensic analysis showed how an old forgotten line of code, like an ex-girlfriend, showed up and turned itself on, which began instantly trading a cascade of orders. By 10:00 am that morning, the Knight Capital IT team was able to stop the program, but it continued finishing trades for the next fifteen minutes. Then they began to assess the damage.

James Grundvig, author of the review and CEO/Founder of CloudNician LLC, concludes: "From a platform launch with a morning cup of coffee, to the brink of bankruptcy in less than an hour, Knightmare is a book that is both a page-turner and modern historical drama with outsized egos, supersized packages, and bailouts from rivals who turn into sharks in a chum feeding frenzy." The full review can be accessed here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/james-grundvig/book-review-the-meltdown-_b_4719207.html.

Knightmare on Wall Street (http://www.knightmareonwallstreet.com), the fascinating story of Knight Capital, was also the most favorably reviewed Kindle edition book on Amazon in 2013, with an average rating of 5 out of five stars. Knight Capital, founded by Kenneth Pasternak and Walter Raquet in 1995, had seen its fortunes change as U.S. regulators made a series of changes in the structure of financial markets and computers were progressively expanding their share of trading. The Flash Crash, the infamous 1,000 point drop of the DJIA on May 6, 2010 (the largest one-day point decline in history), illustrated how market structure problems could almost instantaneously cascade from one market participant to the rest.

Thomas Joyce, CEO of Knight Capital since 2002 and an unapologetic advocate of electronic trading, had been scornful of those companies that struggled to keep up with ever-changing stock markets. So it was certainly shocking that at 9:30 A.M. on August 1, 2012, right after the markets opened for the day, Knight Capital began issuing an unprecedented number of erroneous orders into the market, due to an error in installing new software. No rogue trader or regulatory change; operational risk was passing the bill to Knight Capital and becoming the biggest risk in the financial markets.

Knight Capital announced later a staggering loss of $440 million. What followed after this shocking announcement were several rounds of desperate conversations with a number of vulture players who had smelled opportunity and were readying themselves to pick up bargain-priced pieces. On August 6, 2012, Joyce confirmed that Knight Capital had struck a deal with Jefferies, TD Ameritrade, Blackstone, GETCO, Stephens, and Stifel Financial, staving off collapse days after the trading mishap.

While Knight Capital was back in the game, its limping recovery quickly prompted hungry competitors to bid for the entire company. On December 19, 2012, the board decided to accept an acquisition proposal from GETCO rather than Virtu Financial. For GETCO, acquiring Knight Capital represented a gigantic fast forward step. For Knight Capital, it was the end of its wild ride as an independent entity.

The Huffington Post's James Grundvig Discusses Money Book Knightmare on Wall Street with Edgar Perez

Edgar Perez, former McKinsey and IBM consultant, is a global speaker and author of The Speed Traders, Knightmare on Wall Street, and the forthcoming The 11th-Hour Deal, Behind Washington's Closed Doors During the 16-day Government Shutdown of October 2013.

New York, NY, USA (February 11, 2014) -- James Grundvig, author of the review and CEO/Founder of CloudNician LLC, recently discussed Knightmare on Wall Street, The Rise and Fall of Knight Capital and the Biggest Risk for Financial Markets, with author Edgar Perez for The Huffington Post. "Perhaps the SEC read his book, because many of its findings can be found in Knightmare on Wall Street. In fact, Perez had addressed the SEC's Market Abuse Unit in Washington soon after his first book, The Speed Traders, was published."

Grundvig describes Perez as "a personable, humble, and talented author. His English is breezy, succinct, uses an economy of words to get to the point, and is a pleasure to read. He knows how to hit the right beats to take this true story and give it the drama it deserves, because many lives were ruined because few precautions were taken." He reveals a number of parties have expressed interest in acquiring the rights to this story. "With the success of Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps and The Wolf of Wall Street, no doubt there is an appetite for stories that depict the dramatic intersections of money and egos," said Perez.

Knightmare on Wall Street (http://www.knightmareonwallstreet.com), the fascinating story of Knight Capital, was also the most favorably reviewed Kindle edition book on Amazon in 2013, with an average rating of 5 out of five stars.

The Huffington Post's Book Review: Knightmare on Wall Street is "so Rich in Detail, so Riveting"

Edgar Perez, former McKinsey and IBM consultant, is a global speaker and author of The Speed Traders, Knightmare on Wall Street, and the forthcoming The 11th-Hour Deal, Behind Washington's Closed Doors During the 16-day Government Shutdown of October 2013.

New York, NY, USA (February 10, 2014) -- Knightmare on Wall Street, The Rise and Fall of Knight Capital and the Biggest Risk for Financial Markets, was favorably reviewed by The Huffington Post. "Author Edgar Perez's book is so rich in detail, so riveting, opening with a brief history of the firm and then following with the dramatic August 1, 2012, morning trading meltdown that it boggled this author's mind." James Grundvig, author of the review and CEO/Founder of CloudNician LLC, continued: "With no access to Knight's management, he compiled all the facts to the trading Titanic, with its many parallel story lines, avenues of deep research, and subplots -- which savior turned suitor turned predator -- and self-published Knightmare on its one-year anniversary in 2013." The full review can be accessed here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/james-grundvig/book-review-the-meltdown-_b_4719207.html.

Knightmare on Wall Street (http://www.knightmareonwallstreet.com), the fascinating story of Knight Capital, was also the most favorably reviewed Kindle edition book on Amazon in 2013, with an average rating of 5 out of five stars. Knight Capital, founded by Kenneth Pasternak and Walter Raquet in 1995, had seen its fortunes change as U.S. regulators made a series of changes in the structure of financial markets and computers were progressively expanding their share of trading. The Flash Crash, the infamous 1,000 point drop of the DJIA on May 6, 2010 (the largest one-day point decline in history), illustrated how market structure problems could almost instantaneously cascade from one market participant to the rest.

Thomas Joyce, CEO of Knight Capital since 2002 and an unapologetic advocate of electronic trading, had been scornful of those companies that struggled to keep up with ever-changing stock markets. So it was certainly shocking that at 9:30 A.M. on August 1, 2012, right after the markets opened for the day, Knight Capital began issuing an unprecedented number of erroneous orders into the market, due to an error in installing new software. No rogue trader or regulatory change; operational risk was passing the bill to Knight Capital and becoming the biggest risk in the financial markets.

Knight Capital announced later a staggering loss of $440 million. What followed after this shocking announcement were several rounds of desperate conversations with a number of vulture players who had smelled opportunity and were readying themselves to pick up bargain-priced pieces. On August 6, 2012, Joyce confirmed that Knight Capital had struck a deal with Jefferies, TD Ameritrade, Blackstone, GETCO, Stephens, and Stifel Financial, staving off collapse days after the trading mishap.

While Knight Capital was back in the game, its limping recovery quickly prompted hungry competitors to bid for the entire company. On December 19, 2012, the board decided to accept an acquisition proposal from GETCO rather than Virtu Financial. For GETCO, acquiring Knight Capital represented a gigantic fast forward step. For Knight Capital, it was the end of its wild ride as an independent entity.

Fully Leased South Florida Logistics Center Building 1 Caps Banner Year for Flagler Global Logistics

A Solidified Leadership Team, the South Florida Logistics Center's Grand Opening and USDA Approval of FGL's Innovative New Cold Chain Technology Mark 2013 Milestones.

CORAL GABLES, FL (February 10, 2014) - Flagler Global Logistics ("FGL"), a worldwide logistics company providing a full suite of integrated supply chain management services and real estate solutions, has fully leased Building 1 at its new South Florida Logistics Center located adjacent to Miami International Airport, along with more than 600,000 square feet of industrial space at its Flagler Station business park. The brisk leasing activity caps off a landmark year in which the company also welcomed new executive team members, underwent a name rebranding, and introduced a revolutionary cold chain treatment process that was approved by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Solidified Leadership Team
In 2013, Flagler Global Logistics appointed respected supply chain industry leader and former Winn-Dixie executive Chris Scott as President and CEO. Scott is leading the dramatic growth of the company's business in both the United States and Latin America.

The company also added commercial real estate veteran Daniel Marcus as Executive Vice President of Development. Marcus is spearheading the company's industrial development efforts across its 2,300-acre land portfolio, which can accommodate more than 23 million square feet of industrial development.

Construction Update: New Logistics Center Opens, Receives USDA Certification
Over the past year, Flagler Global Logistics delivered or started construction on more than 1 million square feet of Class-A industrial space at the company's new intermodal facility-the South Florida Logistics Center-and its flagship Flagler Station business park. In addition, FGL has four other strategic industrial park projects located throughout Florida that are in the pre-development phase.

South Florida Logistics Center officially opened for business with the October inauguration of Building 1-a 170,000-square-foot industrial warehouse facility featuring 60,000 square feet of refrigerated space. The Center's expansion plans, which call for the development of up to two million square feet of industrial space at the 200-acre site, will compound in 2014-the company has already started construction on two new buildings totaling 380,000 square feet. A little more than a month after opening, the Center received USDA approval for an exclusive, eco-friendly treatment method for produce which helps in preserving the "cold-chain" for fruits, vegetables, extending the product's shelf life.

"With unparalleled access to air, rail, sea and road transportation, superior third-party logistics support, and scalable real estate solutions, the South Florida Logistics Center is uniquely positioned to become the undisputed trade gateway for the Americas and beyond," said Scott. "The USDA's approval of our innovative cold chain treatment is a game-changer in the perishables sector. It provides Latin American exporters a viable alternative to not only bring their produce to supermarket shelves in the United States more efficiently, but maintain a higher quality product with a longer shelf life."

At Flagler Station, South Florida's largest business park which boasts its own turnpike interchange and is home to industry leaders such as Ryder, Crowley and FedEx, FGL completed construction on the 171,668-square-foot Building 30 and 171,994-square-foot Building 31. The company also broke ground on Buildings 32 and 34, which combined will add an additional 500,000 square feet plus of prime industrial space.

Industrial Leasing Activity on the Rise
Vice President of Business Development Chris Sutton, SIOR, has led the commercial leasing charge at both the South Florida Logistics Center and Flagler Station, closing nearly 750,000 square feet of industrial lease transactions between the two properties in 2013.

"We've experienced strong leasing activity as demand continues to rise, in large part due to our unrivaled portfolio of industrial land with entitlements to build in excess of 20 million square feet of warehouse space throughout Florida," said Sutton. "Our properties are particularly in high demand thanks to their prime locations with access to Florida's busiest air and seaports; high-quality, efficient building designs with features including 30' plus clear ceiling heights; and flexible size ranges that allow us to accommodate tenants of all sizes. We have enough industrial land to accommodate any size build-to-suit requirement, which not many other companies in this marketplace can do."

At South Florida Logistics Center (SFLC), Flagler Global Logistics, which provides third-party logistics services including its innovative USDA approved cold chain treatment, opened its new 114,187 square foot distribution center. The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company leased 28,682 square feet of space for operations. Flying Food Group also leased 28,676 square feet of space for operations. Both companies were represented by David Albert, SIOR, Devin White, and Andrew Lehrer of CBRE.

At Flagler Station, South Florida's largest business park, Starboard Cruise Services' leased 218,673 square feet of space at Building 34, which represented the largest industrial lease transaction of the year in the Medley submarket. The tenant was represented by Charles V. Barton, John Marshall and Matthew Cheezem of Cresa.

Other noteworthy industrial lease transactions at Flagler Station in 2013 include:

- Nipro Medical Corporation leased 86,076 square feet of space at Building 31. The tenant was represented by Ed Lyden of State Street Realty.

- Senator International leased 70,411 square feet of space at Building 30. Gabriel Garcia-Menocal, SIOR and Lucia Custer of NAI Miami represented the tenant.

- TricorBraun leased 63,820 square feet at Building 30. The tenant was represented by Charles V. Barton of Cresa.

- Total Cargo Services leased 56,135 square feet at Building 31. The tenant was represented by Gabriel Garcia-Menocal, SIOR and Lucia Custer of NAI Miami.

- Traffic Tech leased 37,437 square feet at Building 30. The tenant was represented by Michael Torna of Corporate Solutions.

- International Cruise Duty Free leased 29,783 square feet at Building 31. The tenant was represented by Mark Aleman of DiGiacomo Group.

Rebranding to Reflect Global Reach
As the company's logistics services capabilities and product offerings expand worldwide in step with customer demand, the company rebranded from South Florida Logistics Services to Flagler Global Logistics.

"The rebranding perfectly captures the growing global scale of our end-to-end logistics capacity while linking back to our rich Florida and real estate development heritage established under the recognized Flagler brand," explained Scott. "Flagler Global Logistics will effect a dramatic shift to redirect the flow of goods from the southeast to the northeast and further solidify South Florida's position as a strategic gateway for domestic and foreign commercial trade."
