Raanan Katz, RK Centers "High End, High Quality" Shopping Plazas?

What Raanan Katz, RK Centers consider as a "high quality, higher end business"?

After careful review of some of Raanan Katz and RK Centers (former RK Associates) lease agreements, I noticed that they have one common condition and shopping plaza presentation as "HIGH END, HIGH QUALITY".

Low priced Asian Nail Spas, Dollar, Discount Stores are not unusual to see in RK Centers Plazas.

Probably the meaning of "HIGH END, HIGH QUALITY" is simply related to the rent amount.

Why neighbouring Aventura Mall has not rented the space to Asian Nail Spa next to Louis Vuitton store or Bal Harbour Mall did not invite Dollar Tree Store business to their Mall?

However, Aventura and Bal Harbour Malls offer valet parking services, vs to RK Centers "1 hour parking only" and tow-away services.

Aventura and Bal Harbour Mall websites present new businesses, fashion trends, social scene, videos, business directories, and whatever could potentially attract customers, making shopping experience pleasant.

RK Centers publications dedicated to promote Raanan Katz and his publicity.

Are RK Centers and Raanan Katz desperate to attract tenants into their plazas who will just sign RK Centers lease agreement with "gotcha", automatic lease renewal, and acceleration clauses?

Well, all the marketing approaches I have learned over the years also apply to attracting high-end clients, but there are a few steps that should be met:

1. To attract high-end clients, you need to design high-end services. It is like selling a Mercedes instead of a Hyundai. The commitment, time and energy is a must input into developing high-end services and programs that will deliver higher end results.

2. Marketing messages, materials, and marketing strategies need to communicate the message that higher-end services are offered. Perception is essential when you say "I offer high quality".

3. Then you have gained the right to charge more for your services. After all, you have organized your plaza to produce higher-end results, and done it in a way that makes your tenants feel special. They feel like they are at the Ritz-Carlton, not the Holiday Inn.

RK Centers, Raanan Katz Admitted In Their Pleadings Intentional Use Of Gotcha Clause

Below are the new arguments of Raanan Katz and RK Centers recently filed with Miami Court in regards to RK Centers use of "gotcha clause" in their leases.

"...blogger represents that Raanan Katz, Daniel Katz, RK Centers are engaging in an "improper business tactics" by "the continued use of a 'gotcha clause' in leases with tenants." Blogger contends that "RK Centers practice and clause was specifically decried against by a previous court against RK Centers."

Further, RK Centers and Raanan Katz argued: 

"Blogger ignores however, that the prior court was not an appellate court, and the subject order was case specific. The state court judge did not order that Plaintiffs could not use the clause in other leases if the tenants agreed to the contractual provision."

Does Raanan Katz actually state here that Court orders are not applicable to him?

In fact, Miami Court order speaks for itself "GOTCHA and AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY that this court cannot and WILL not condone"

 Additionally RK Centers, Raanan Katz admitted:

"The so-called "gotcha clause" is a provision in Plaintiffs' (RK Centers, Raanan Katz) standard lease that provides that the lease will automatically renew at the end of the term unless the tenant decides not to renew. Moreover, as Daniel Katz testified in the May 15 hearing, the tenants specifically initial and authorize this provision. Plaintiffs advise their tenants before the expiration of the lease whether it is going to expire or be renewed. The tenants do not have to automatically renew if they decide not to. There is nothing unlawful or fraudulent about such an arms-length, agreed-upon contractual provision."

Obviously, tenants "do not have to automatically renew", this is in Ranan Katz' financial interest to automatically renew the lease for as long as he wishes, especially when the tenant is already out and the new tenant is in.

His business is reflected on his face,

 or his face is a reflection of his business?

It is for you to decide

 

 

Raanan Katz, RK Centers Want Your Money No Matter What...

Raanan Katz filed lawsuit against Taystee Gourment Bakery 2 Inc on 12/12/2008 in Miami Dade Circuit Court case number 08-77162CA30.

Raanan Katz personally claimed monetary damages from Taystee Gourment Bakery 2 Inc.

"The Court finds that the Plaintiff (Raanan Katz) has not proved by a preponderance of the evidence that RAANAN KATZ d/b/a RK Associates or that RAANAN KATZ was a party to the Lease Agreement or the Guarantee Contract. RAANAN KATZ did not sign either document. 


The witness/representative of the Plaintiff, Daniel Katz, did sign the documents but could not provide the Court with any information with who or what entity he was representing when he signed the contracts. Additionaly, Daniel Katz could not testify WHO IN FACT WAS THE OWNER OF THE PREMISES."


This Raanan Katz's case was dismissed by the Court.

Bottom line, when you sign a lease with RK Associates, Raanan Katz can go after YOUR money no matter what.
