HERNDON, VA - November 1, 2013 - BridgeStreet Residences, Serviced Apartments and Suites, the leading global hospitality provider, was recently awarded the Global Mindset Award by Brookfield Global Relocation Services (Brookfield GRS), the trusted leader for relocation design and management services throughout the world.

“The Global Mindset Award speaks volumes to BridgeStreet's long-term partnership and dedication to Brookfield GRS, but also breathes life into our company mentality,” said Sean Worker, BridgeStreet chief executive officer. “The mission of all BridgeStreet brand ambassadors is to provide extraordinary service to our clients and guests above all else. This award is a direct result of resiliency and commitment to deliver solutions that are above and beyond.”

When contacted by Brookfield GRS to provide corporate housing in remote mining markets spanning the globe, BridgeStreet accepted the challenge and immediately mobilized a team to tap into supply chains. Not only did the company secure residences in 22 markets, BridgeStreet successfully provided Brookfield GRS with a selection of options for more than 1,000 relocations, maximizing efficiencies and cost-savings through centralizing services. BridgeStreet's best-in-class reporting portal, BridgeStreet Intelligence, offered real-time access to information including market reports, industry trends and results of transactional bids.

“The people behind BridgeStreet are the catalyst for success,” said Lee Curtis, BridgeStreet president. “If we can provide residences in remote locations, imagine what we can do in Chicago or New York. Not only did we deliver on the primary goal, we developed a portfolio of options to suit Brookfield GRS' needs, meeting cost reduction goals.”

“From a global perspective in a recovering economy and cost containment environment, BridgeStreet continues to step up and bring the right talent to support clients and inventory development with innovative approaches,” said Rick Schwartz, Brookfield GRS president. “They understood the importance of the issue, the need for a solution and committed to meeting our monetary and service goals.”
