This new initiative is designed to attract a new and growing category of clients to Whitestone properties and increase 18-hour\/7-day-a-week traffic.

\u201cMost clients find a lease to be a complicated, laborious and difficult-to-understand legal document. We\u2019ve gone to extreme lengths to simplify it and reduce the legalese to make our Easy Lease form easy to understand, thereby increasing the confidence of making a decision to lease with Whitestone,\u201d said Jim Mastandrea, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Whitestone. \u201cAs a fellow entrepreneur, you wear many hats and you\u2019re making a multitude of decisions every day to grow your business. We aim to make the leasing process easier, knowing the importance of quickly moving on to focus on growing your business.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whitestone\u2019s \u201cEasy Lease\u201d initiative is designed for entrepreneurs and growing businesses who need 2,000-square-feet or less of flex-space options ranging from move-in ready single workspaces to suites of flexible workspaces. The expedited \u201cEasy Lease\u201d initiative uses a technology platform to provide clients with a simplified mobile-friendly lease form and a streamlined approval process that reduces the lease approval cycle to hours versus days to meet the flexibility and fast turnaround needs of entrepreneurial clients.<\/p>\n

This new initiative is designed to create a great onboarding experience for new clients and to increase occupancy and revenue for Whitestone. \u201cEasy Lease\u201d is just one of several new initiatives that Whitestone is launching to provide win-win value for its shareholders through the increased occupancy, revenue and extended traffic in its properties.<\/p>\n
