CoreNet Global Names Stephen Dunn the Corporate Real Estate Executive of the Year

ATLANTA (FEBRUARY 1, 2018) — CoreNet Global, the most prominent professional association for corporate real estate professionals, named Stephen Dunn, Director of Workplace at CSRA, Inc, as the Corporate Real Estate Executive of the Year. CoreNet Global made the announcement yesterday at the Global Awards & Recognition Dinner held in conjunction with the Global Summit in Seattle.

Dunn, affiliated with CoreNet Global Mid-Atlantic Chapter, was instrumental in the development of the Bossier City (LA) Integrated Technology Center (ITC) in which state and city partnerships leveraged economic development incentives to create more than 800 jobs in the technology workforce. Dunn’s major initiatives also included building a Workplace team, communicating with the lines of business and right-sizing the CSRA portfolio.

His achievements include negotiating a contract for Real Estate and Facilities Management services that resulted in $1.5 million in annual savings; consolidating more than 100 facility service vendors under a single contract; and instituting CSRA quality management systems. Steve’s efforts to right-size CSRA’s portfolio resulted in closure of 15 percent (35) of facilities and savings of $19.7 million, which benefited shareholders and allowed for reinvestment opportunities. Overall, he reduced the Workplace budget by 15 percent in one year and reduced rentable square feet in the portfolio by 15 percent.
