Since then, our student growth has led to expanding our campus to a current site of over 41,847 square feet. It is important to recognize that our relationship with your organization has been an instrumental element for this development. Through the years, we have developed a strong and direct communication that facilitates the operation for both entities.

"Fitness Inspiration Inc's relationship with Dalfen America Corporation began when we became a tenant at Trinity Ridge Business Center in July 2012. As a result of our client growth, a quick two years later we found ourselves in need of a much bigger and better facility space. We were so pleased with the experience we had as a client of Dalfen's over the first two years, we knew that 'shopping around' for this new space was not going to be necessary, Dalfen's Trinity Ridge Business Center was it! Shelly, Elaine, Thomas, Sandy and everyone else at Dalfen do a world-class job of fostering professional relationships and managing the property we call our home. This is why it was easy for me to sign the dotted line on another lease agreement at Trinity Ridge Business Center for a space that was double in size, double in amenities, and more than double in lease term agreement length. Team Dalfen Rocks!"

They repositioned the asset over a period of 3 years, substantially increasing the occupancy and value of the asset through hands-on management. Also, Dalfen secured high credit tenancy and term on the rent roll and successfully sold the asset for a substantial profit in 2014, returning large profit to their investors. "

"As Vice President of Associated Piping Services, Inc. I have known Shelly Drakes, Sandy Elkins and Elaine Cabrera for more than ten years. They are extremely professional, courteous, and motivated. With their superb customer service, they are dedicated to serving all of their tenants needs. I have performed work at many other properties in Orlando and have found that Terracotta Business Plaza is one of the cleanest best kept properties I have visited. It does not have a lot of tenant turnover and, in fact, most of their tenants have been there for many, many years. They make good decisions when it comes to the maintenance of the property. Shelly, Sandy and Elaine make decisions that improve the value of the property while keeping their tenants happy. It has been a pleasure doing business with them and I look forward to many more years of working with them."
