Amplify Credit Union Announces Purchase of 3600 Parmer Building












(Vocus) May 14, 2010

Amplify Credit Union today announced that it has completed the purchase of a 58,000 square foot office building at 3600 Parmer Lane in northwest Austin. The building will serve as the future operational headquarters for Amplify, which currently has five locations in Austin and plans to open a sixth site at 607 Congress this summer.

“Adjustments in the commercial real estate market make this an excellent time to expand,” says Paul Trylko, CEO and President of Amplify. “We’ve been looking to consolidate our operations for some time, and when the opportunity arose to purchase this building at such an advantageous price, it fit perfectly with our strategic plan and business needs. The combination of favorable market pricing and a stable roster of existing long-term building tenants at 3600 Parmer allowed us to purchase the building without a net increase in our operating costs.”

Doug Rauls of The Kucera Companies represented Amplify in their purchase of the building. “The building at 3600 W Parmer was the right fit for Amplify in terms of location, size, condition and price.” Rauls adds, “Forward-looking buyers like Amplify that are considering expansion in Austin have a unique opportunity right now to purchase property at attractive prices.”

Amplify will begin migration of several of its departments to the new location in late April. In addition to the purchase of the building on Parmer Lane, Amplify is opening a sixth location at 607 Congress. The grand opening of the downtown location is tentatively scheduled for late summer in 2010.

AMPLIFY Federal Credit Union, with more than $ 530 million in assets and nearly 40,000 members, is open to anyone in Travis, Williamson, Hays, Caldwell and Bastrop counties. Its innovative programs include café-style seating and mobile Account Management Professionals(AMPs) trained to assist members with any of their banking; free-to-the-public wi-fi in all branch lobbies; and empowering its employees to make decisions which will give members simple, convenient and outstanding banking experiences.

Amplifier Ventures Adds Peter Horan as Venture Advisor

Amplifier Ventures Adds Peter Horan as Venture Advisor












McLean, Virginia (PRWEB) January 18, 2011

Amplifier Ventures, an early-stage venture capital fund, and Amplifier Network, a provider of educational content for entrepreneurs, today announced the addition of Peter Horan as a Venture Advisor. Mr. Horan, a nationally-known Chairman and CEO of leading social media, advertising and communications companies, will join Amplifier’s other Venture Advisors, Loren Burnett, Michael Dering and Rich Moore. Mr. Horan expands Amplifier’s existing expertise in new media, as reflected in its seeding of Bright Hub, a rapidly growing expert content site, and Cardstar, the leading mobile loyalty company in mobile.

Amplifier’s Venture Advisors work with Jonathan Aberman, Amplifier’s Managing Director, in all aspects of Amplifier’s activities. Most recently, Mr. Horan had been successfully working as an advisor to Bright Hub. By joining the Amplifier team as a Venture Advisor, he is expanding his relationship with Amplifier to include its other existing portfolio companies, as well as its current group of participants in the Amplifier Business Accelerator Program.

Mr. Horan has had a career of success as the CEO and Chairman of market leading companies, and has generated more than $ 700 million in value for stockholders as a leader of businesses over the last seven years. He is currently Chairman of Goodmail Systems and Halogen Network. Since 2003 he has been CEO of IAC Media and Advertising, AllBusiness.com, About.com and DevX.com. He previously was part of the executive team of International Data Group.

“Adding Peter to our team will let us expand our relationships further into the Valley,” said Jonathan Aberman, Managing Director of Amplifier Ventures. “Having visibility into the trends of company formation, financing and exits in the Valley will help our companies in the Mid-Atlantic. We have always sought to bridge the gap between the two regions, and having Peter as part of our team will allow us to bring broad expertise and perspectives to our companies and entrepreneurs.”

“I’ve been working with Amplifier for a number of years,” said Horan. “They are very well positioned in Washington, DC and have the right approach to starting companies and working with experienced founders. They occupy a unique position in that market. There is a very interesting opportunity here for us to bring a bit of Silicon Valley to companies and entrepreneurs in the Mid-Atlantic, but also there will be opportunities for us to bring a very experienced team of advisors who “get it” to selective opportunities in the Valley and NY. This is going to be great.”
