The Katz Companies represents excellence. Since 1915, the real estate firm founded by Lewis Katz in Worcester, has specialized in meeting the needs of businesses and industries within the I-495/Central Massachusetts corridor and now serves Connecticut and the United Kingdom.The strong manufacturing base of metropolitan Worcester was the driving force behind the firm’s founding 90 years ago.Lewis Katz believed then that if a brokerage firm could be established, which would provide customers and clients with an unmatched depth of knowledge and understanding of the commercial and industrial market, a successful, profitable relationship could be forged.His grandson, Myron Lewis Katz, was the primary reason for the family’s business success since the 1950s, with his legendary leadership, wisdom, depth of knowledge and vision. “Myron is clearly the most widely respected real estate executive in Central Massachusetts,” comments his brother, Howard Katz, now The Katz Companies CEO.“Over the years we’ve seen real estate cycles come and go. Today, our clients benefit not only from our years of experience, but also from our creativity and high standards of excellence,” Katz says.Nothing travels faster than the word of a satisfied customer, and from the beginning The Katz Companies has experienced a large volume of repeat business.The firm’s client base ranges from young, rapidly growing companies to regional, national and multi-national corporations. The numbers speak for themselves. The Katz Companies are currently responsible for the listing of more than 60 industrial and office properties, for a total of several million square feet. The firm covers Central Massachusetts, Connecticut and now has a special United Kingdom link, covering space requirements for businesses looking for space throughout Britain. The firm’s long list of customers and clients includes such industry leaders as Quaker Oats, AngusPrime, Devens Commerce Center, DB Riley, Protocol Telecommunications, Woodmeister, WXLO, WPI, UMass Memorial, Parker International Corporation, Weetabix, IDX, Protector Group, Marriott International, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Allied Sciences, and a host of others.Central Massachusetts, Connecticut and the United Kingdom may have been known for manufacturing in the past, but more and more they are evolving into upscale, metropolitan environments. With all their assets and amenities, the regions are becoming a natural choice for a number of businesses seeking a convenient location.And with its specialized site search process, The Katz Companies is the firm of choice for companies looking to establish a presence or expand in Central Massachusetts, Connecticut and Great Britain. The firm’s research department prepares an extensive, detailed proposal for each client, analyzing the pros and cons of a number of properties before making a recommendation on a particular site.With such intense preparation, the company remains committed to its mission of exceeding the expectations of its clients and helping the region to flourish positively.“There is a certain amount of skill involved in making a match between a building and a client,” says Katz. “We see ourselves as the front-line business people linking business, science and industry with the best properties.”Now in its tenth decade, The Katz Companies is expanding for an even brighter future.
And from one generation to the next, excellence, experience and innovation have positioned The Katz Companies to meet the challenges of the future in partnership with the region.
