I would highly recommend Apex Commerce Center to anyone looking for a flex space. If you need 2500 sf or more, for your Office, Showroom, Studio, Warehouse, or R&D Lab, I recommend you call Yog and take a look at one of these spaces. We looked for about a year and half for a building we could call our own, then, we found Apex Commerce Center. I worked in the construction industry for over ten years, and find this products quality to be above and beyond what is available on the market today. We found Apex to be a great choice for First Impressions new home; and working with Yog was great,

It was truly a pleasure to have Yog Melwani as my agent while I searched for a commercial space in Orlando that would fit for our Tutoring Center. He had some really good insights on issues with office spaces that I had never considered, which brought a lot of value to me. His positive attitude and patience with me was something I really appreciated as well. Yog was always willing to answer any and all questions as fast as he could. It took months to find the place we liked, but he never lost patience or gave up and instead continued to be on the lookout for what we wanted. I felt like he went

Yog Melwani represented us in our search for a retail parcel in Orlando and the surrounding area. His open communication, research and ready knowledge of what was available, was a time saver and of great value to us. Yog found us a retail parcel at a signalized intersection, in a strategic, high end demographic market. I would recommend Yog s services to anyone, because he has his clients best interest at heart.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Yog Melwani as an acquaintance for several years. Recently he represented me in purchasing additional commercial space for our companys expansion.

In all the years that I have been an entrepreneur and working with people and factories from around the world, it is so rare to come into contact with someone who is so dedicated to being dependable, punctual and professional. To be sure, Yog will continue
