Denver’s ExecNet Properties, the Corporate Housing
Specialist, Joins with 10 Top Providers to Launch
New North American Brand, "GO!"
GO Offers Coast-to-coast Reach at Substantial Savings Over Hotels
Denver, CO (November 18, 2010) ExecNet Properties of Denver Colorado, has joined
with 10 of North America’s top temporary furnished housing specialists in locations
across the United States and Canada to launch “GO Furnished Housing Providers.” GO
brings a coast-to-coast reach to the North American corporate housing industry and to
corporate travel planners, relocation specialists, human resource professionals, and
longer-term travelers that may need accommodations in multiple cities. ExecNet
Properties and its partners in GO offer best-in-class corporate housing, also known as
temporary furnished housing accommodations, in business hubs and travel destinations
throughout the United States and Canada. Importantly, all 11 partners are owner-operator
companies, ensuring the highest level of service and hospitality experience to guests. As
well, all guests of GO have access to 24-hour customer service.
2. GO’s central reservations system, comprehensive website and stringent quality controls
provide convenient access to 5,000 apartments in exclusive neighborhoods that capture
the essence of such dynamic cities as New York, Washington, San Francisco, Houston,
Atlanta and Phoenix. Savings over standard hotel rates can be substantial. With GO
Furnished Housing Providers, clients will be assured that their employees are
comfortable, cared for, and have everything they need to accomplish a job or make a
smooth transition. GO will expand next year to include exclusive accommodations in
leading European, Asian and Latin American destinations.
“Corporate apartments form a growing but underserved segment in the hospitality
industry,” says Gary Brown, president of Furnished Quarters, the largest provider of
temporary furnished apartments in New York City, with apartments also in suburban
New York, New Jersey as well as in Boston. “Companies appreciate the convenience,
cost savings and productive atmosphere these accommodations provide.”
Bob Wills, president of Murphy’s Corporate Lodging in Houston, another GO member,
asserts. "What has been lacking is the convenience of one-stop shopping and the kind of
quality assurance that hotel brands can offer. By forming and growing our partnership,
we can provide both, as well as a national reach at considerable savings over standard
hotel rates.”
The founding members of GO Furnished Housing Providers, all prominent entrepreneurs
and operators in the field, found that their corporate clients preferred their product over
other brands and often over conventional hotels. However, they needed accommodations
in cities nationwide. To better serve their clients, the GO Furnished Housing Providers
national partnership was formed to provide one-stop shopping and a wider reach. Clients
also demanded a high and consistent standard of service that would meet both the
practical and personal needs of relocating employees, participants in training programs or
special assignments. GO Furnished Housing Providers will help ensure a consistent
standard of amenities and services as well as a sense of place.
“Corporate apartments can vary widely and often lack individuality,” notes Jack Jensky,
partner with Synergy Corporate Housing in San Ramon, California. “Our apartments
meet the highest standards, but they are not standardized -- décor is individualized and
sophisticated. Most important, guests are part of a neighborhood and experience that area
not as a visitor, but as a resident.” GO’s customer care representatives provide in-depth
information about shops, transportation, special events, sports facilities, restaurants and
much more. Most important, customer service representatives are available around the
clock.
Corporate housing is a growing segment of the lodging industry. In their own businesses,
GO’s principals strive to exceed the highest standards of hospitality with innovative new
services, top quality accommodations, a total commitment to providing excellence in
customer service, and an outstanding residential experience. GO Furnished Housing
Providers raises the bar even higher. With a one-stop reservations system, standardization
3. of service and a nationwide reach, GO is poised to serve customers coast to coast and in
Canada, and lead the corporate housing segment of the hospitality industry.
The advantages of corporate housing are significant. Historically, temporary
furnished housing offering reservations of 30+ days provides substantial savings over
standard hotel rates – up to 35 percent and with significantly larger, accommodations.
Traditionally utilized by traveling executives or corporate employees on short-term
assignment, as well as employees or families relocating, temporary furnished housing is
also finding use by non-traditional guests, such couples who may be divorcing,
individuals in treatment at major medical centers and their families, and foreigners on
longer-term vacations in major North American destination cities.
Temporary furnished housing offers home-away-from-home living within distinctive
neighborhood settings. The advantage is a genuine residential experience -- in other
words, a guest can truly experience a city like a local. Corporate housing
accommodations provide a better lifestyle balance as well, with room to spread out, work,
relax, and entertain friends or business associates. Importantly, they also offer security as
they’re typically located in secure buildings, with many requiring identification prior to
entry. This is particularly comforting to women travelers.
In 2009, the corporate housing industry brought $2.4 billion in room revenues with
61,300 furnished apartments available throughout North America, according to the
Corporate Housing Providers Association www.chpaonline.org. Over the past 20 years,
the industry, which has been one of lodging’s growth areas during the past two decades,
has served several sectors, including government, consulting, healthcare, insurance,
engineering, relocation, information technology, financial services and others.
