With more than 100 years of combined
industry experience, the founders of Transcend Equity incorporated
the company in 2001 in response to an intractable set of
barriers to sustainability unique to the tenant occupied
real estate market. In solving these problems, we have pioneered
a unique method of dramatically enhancing
the value of commercial office buildings via energy related
building improvements with no owner capital and without
increasing property operating expenses.
The first of its kind in commercial office real estate industry, we have defined
uniqueness since day one. Our history is rich in both knowledge and experience.
We trace our origin to 1997, when Steve Gossett Jr. pioneered the Managed Utility
Services concept for developing energy savings projects in the commercial real
estate market at CSI Control Systems International. There, he developed over
$25 million in commercial real estate projects using this concept. In 2001, he
teamed up with some of the best talents in the industry to pioneer Transcend
Equity Development Corporation. These highly knowledgeable experts created the
Managed Energy Service Agreement (MESA) which
transformed the traditional way of doing business in the commercial real estate
industry.
