China firm takes the reins at Los Angeles Marriott Hotel downtown








Los Angeles Marriott Hotel

Shenzhen New World Group Co.,  Ltd. Buys Los Angeles Marriott Hotel  
World Trade Center Association Los  Angeles-Long Beach 
 provided critical  guidance to Shenzhen Group during 
 acquisition process


Los Angeles, CA –  Shenzhen New World Group Co., Ltd., a leading privately-held real estate development company in China has announced that it will close escrow on its purchase of the Los Angeles Marriott Downtown Hotel, which had filed for bankruptcy protection last year.  The purchase will help retain up to 400 existing jobs.
The World Trade Center Association LA-Long Beach (WTCA) provided critical guidance during the acquisition process, including meeting regularly with key executives from the Shenzhen Group, local government leaders and members of the L.A. business community to help facilitate incentives and foster key relationships that made this purchase possible.


Shenzhen New World Investment (USA) Inc., the U.S. arm of Shenzhen New World Group, expects to invest $12 to $13 million in renovations and upgrades, which has the potential to create hundreds of additional jobs over the next two years. Plans are under way to upgrade the hotel to LEED energy-efficiency standards, as well as enhance its service offerings to include 5-star amenities.


“We appreciate the Shenzhen New World Group investment in our community and look forward to new investments in L.A. County in the future,” said Baugham. “Foreign companies based in the L.A. County play such a critical role in the region’s economy, supporting almost one in ten private sector jobs.”

PERI Software Solutions Expands Global Consulting and Technology Services 

"We believe
Los Angeles leads the Pacific Rim in just about every industry and we want to help business grow to meet the regional and international markets," said President & CEO Sarav Periasamy, PERI Software


Los Angeles, CA/ Newark, NJ PERI Software, based in New Jersey 
announced today it has opened new offices in the Wells Fargo Tower
in the business district of downtown Los Angeles to offer its 
advanced global business solutions to a high demand market in
Southern California. 

"After servicing clients in California and on the West Coast,
we realized it was vital to bring
our services closer to a
rapidly growing technology market," explained President
and CEO Sarav Periasamy, PERI Software.  "We have just
opened an office here, because, we believe Los Angeles 
leads the Pacific Rim in just about every industry 
and we want to help business grow to meet the technology needs of 
regional and international markets."
 
A recent SoCal economic forecast finds that technology, tourism and 
international trade will be the leading industries to the economic recovery. 
Research reveals that the business demand for technology products was 
very weak in the first three quarters of 2009, when
businesses were reducing costs drastically in order to survive the recession. 
But, demand picked up noticeably during the fourth quarter and sales of
technology products held up better on the consumer side.
 
“PERI delivers technology-based business solutions to help organizations 
worldwide control costs and cultivate growth by drawing on our deep industry 
expertise,” said Periasamy. “We help companies facing growing pains by 
blending a strategic design, proven technology, and timely delivery of 
creative solutions that brings the best returns on IT investments.” 
 
PERI is a global consulting and technology services company specializing
in industry-specific solutions, strategic outsourcing and integration services.
The company was founded in 1999, and has grown to more than 700 
employees worldwide. In addition to the new Los Angeles office, it 
also has offices in San Jose, offshore facilities in Chennai, India and
the PERI headquarters in Newark, NJ. 
 
“Technology will be one of the strongest industries to lead the recovery,”
said Periasamy. “PERI is confident that we can play a vital role in meeting 
the technology industry business solutions needs, which is why we have 
expanded in Los Angeles.”
 
Sales of technology products held up better on the consumer side 
according to published reports. Purchases of products like computers, 
flat TV, and cell phones increased last year despite the recession and 
will continue to grow in 2010.
 
 “There’s always demand for the well-designed personal gadgets 
like iPods and smart cell phones with media players, but business
is in transition to smart technology products, too, of which we produce 
so business can cut costs and get the job done in less time,” 
said Periasamy. 

“We are constantly hiring software engineers and employees to 
meet growing technology demands.”
