  Bucking the trends in Lower Manhattan: An interview with Kent Swig
  
  Perhaps it's his West Coast background, blond hair and sometimes casual surfer style that makes Kent Swig the exception among city office landlords.Then again, it might be his approach to Lower Manhattan.
  
  Swig, whose company Swig Equities is the fifth largest commercial landlord Downtown, has stuck to his guns maintaining properties as office space while much of the area has been converted to residential, amassing more than 3.4 million square feet since 1998.Swig might also be cast as a contrarian when it comes to the rebuilding effort, seeing Freedom Tower as largely beside the point compared to transportation issues.
  
  No slouch on the residential end either, Swig is co-chairman of Terra Holdings, which owns brokerages Brown Harris Stevens and Halstead, and he was recently invo ...

  Kent Swig has been on something of a New York roll.
  
  Now Swig — a member of the prominent San Francisco real estate family — is hoping to bring some of that New York swagger back to his hometown.This month Swig is opening two new San Francisco offices, one for his investment and development firm, Swig Equities, and one for Helmsley Spear, a once-mighty brokerage Swig bought a year ago and is trying to restore to its former glory.
  
  Both firms will be housed on the sixth floor of 450 Sansome St., which Swig bought in 2005 for $28 million.
  ...
  "I am a San Franciscan at heart — born and raised out there," said Swig.
  ...
  Kent Swig is a board member and shareholder of the Swig Co. and said Swig Equities will be careful to steer clear of Swig Co. targets.
  
  "I don't want to have any conflicts with my family," he said.
  ...
  Swig has doubled its employee count from 35 to 70 since Swig bought the firm.
  
  "The idea is to bring it back to its former glory — only better," said Swig.
  ...
  With the economy sputtering and real estate service firms consolidating at a record clip, it's the perfect time to draft talent, Swig said.
  
  "Brokers don't leave brokerage firms when they are making an enormous amount of money and business is booming.When there is a hiccup in the industry and things slow down brokers say, ,is this the right place or can I do better?' That is when people tend to move," he said.

  President Kent Swig said one thing has both hurt and helped the Downtown's revitalization--the influence of government.City, state and federal agencies were invaluable in the process because they got it started in the first place but recently those entities have caused it to move at too slow a pace, said Swig, during Inside the Real Estate Mind with Desiato.
  ...
  One reason that Swig likes the area is because of future transportation possibilities--he said there is more of a concentration of railroad track in Downtown Manhattan than there is in any other one area in the world.He also pointed to the transportation centers being built, like the Fulton Transit Center and World Trade Center Transportation Hub, as key to the area's revitalization."It's going to revolutionize Downtown," he said.

  Kent Swig Offers Civics LessonThe developer Kent Swig was already half an hour late to a meeting on March 21, but he had just received a court decision that made it worth his while to share a civics lesson with a reporter."Basically the judicial system in this country, the way it was created, is that the governor and legislature create laws, and the judicial system interprets laws," he said into his cell phone while going up in an office-building elevator."This is the judicial system creating laws.There is no law for what this decision says."A day earlier, a housing-court judge had quashed Mr. Swig's attempt to evict 23 households from the Sheffield57, a West 57th Street apartment building that he is converting into condos.The tenants were paying market-rate rents and their leases had expired, so the decision has the potential to be a thorn not only in Mr. Swig's side, but in the flanks of many a converter in the future,if it stands up.
