You Deserve a Break Today!
Phoenix, AZ (Vocus) April 7, 2009
BridgeStreet Worldwide, a leading international provider of extended stay apartments for business travelers, announced its opening of a new Phoenix office as part of the company's broader expansion plans in the Southwest. The new office will create 5-10 additional jobs in the next six to nine months and BridgeStreet will host over 500 business travelers in the Phoenix metro area over the course of 2009.
"Phoenix is an immensely populated area, and bursting with government, military and private sector organizations in need of extended stay accommodations," says Bob Barnett, senior vice president of BridgeStreet's US operations. "We are pleased to expand our presence into the Southwest, starting with Phoenix, and confident that BridgeStreet's commitment to client services and innovative programs will drive tremendous growth for our operations."
To kick off its Southwest expansion, BridgeStreet has brought in Phoenix-area veteran Andy Blalock as regional director. "Andy's previous experience in opening Phoenix offices for other corporate housing companies has allowed us to ramp up quickly. He brings a wealth of knowledge regarding the local business community in addition to well established relationships with apartment communities throughout the area," adds Barnett.
The growing number of defense and technology firms in Phoenix represents an enormous opportunity for BridgeStreet, which was recently awarded a GSA contract. "BridgeStreet's GSA certification will open the door for us to work with a variety of federal agencies who have a need for temporary housing, as well was other related government and private entities."
