Piedmont REIT Names CBRE Leasing Agent at Glenridge Highlands II
Nov 26, 2007
SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. (Nov. 26, 2007) – Piedmont Office Realty Trust Inc. has retained CB Richard Ellis as leasing agent for Glenridge Highlands II. The distinctive tower is the headquarters of AT&T’s wireless unit, formerly known as Cingular.
The property is fully leased, but an exit option for December 2008 could make available up to 320,000 square feet, along with an opportunity to rebrand the building, which faces Georgia 400.
“We have an outstanding lead tenant at this building, and we would love to continue that relationship,” said George Wells, senior vice president, Piedmont. “At the same time, it’s appropriate that we be prepared for inquiries about the property, and CBRE will help us in that regard.”
Tom Miller and Justen Cimino will lead the CBRE team at Glenridge Highlands II. “This is a beautiful, iconic building with excellent freeway access in a popular north Atlanta submarket,” Miller said. “If we have a sizeable vacancy, it should present a very attractive option for one or more tenants.”
The Class-A, 414,000-square-foot building is located at 5565 Glenridge Connector; other tenants include investment banker Smith Barney; accounting firm Habif, Arogeti & Wynne; and the Ashford Club.
Piedmont, specializing in Class-A office properties, currently owns 82 buildings totaling more than 21 million square feet in 23 states and Washington, D.C. Properties include the corporate headquarters of such other organizations as U.S. Bancorp, NASA and Nestlé USA. Across the portfolio, Piedmont properties are 94 percent leased.
