ATLANTA, October 19, 2018 – Cushman & Wakefield has secured a more than 400,000 square feet of leases in the last nine months at Pennant Park, located in Atlanta’s Cumberland submarket. Andy Sumlin, Caroline Nolen and Porter Henritze of Cushman & Wakefield represent the property on behalf of the landlord, Rubenstein Partners, including its affiliates.
“The incredible amount of leasing activity we’re now seeing is further validation that the substantial investment we have made into this property has transformed Pennant Park into a preferred office destination in the Northwest submarket,” notes Taylor Smith with Rubenstein Partners. “This is a well-located and accessible property that’s delivering new, high-quality amenities to this rapidly transforming area and we anticipate this accelerated volume of leasing to continue in the coming months as we finalize the full transformation at Pennant Park.”
Thyssenkrupp Elevator Americas recently signed a 67,000-square-foot lease at 3100 Interstate North Parkway to house the company’s shared services division headquarters. Chad Koenig and Trey Dove of Cushman & Wakefield represented Thyssenkrupp in lease negotiations. Additionally, Fusion, a leading provider of integrated cloud solutions to small, medium and large businesses, signed a 46,020-square-foot lease in the park at 210 Interstate North. Tim Farley, Kirk Diamond, April Parrish and Erin Smith of Cushman & Wakefield represented Fusion. ARCO Design Build also recently completed a 25,000-square-foot expansion/extension of their lease at the park.
“When Rubenstein acquired Pennant Park in early 2016, they knew that by leveraging its proximity to Suntrust Park and The Battery, as well as investing in significant upgrades to create collaborative common area space and upgraded amenities, they would be able to attract top-tier tenants to the office park,” Sumlin said. “Within the last nine months, a significant amount of new leases have been signed at Pennant Park, which is a real testament to the location and improvements Rubenstein has made.”
Rubenstein invested nearly $15 million in upgrades, which will be complete in early 2019, including new lobbies, corridors, restrooms and an outdoor spaces that can be activated for tenant events at the property. Rubenstein purchased the latest building, 300 Pennant Park (formerly The Weather Channel building), late last year, and is renovating the lobby and upper floors, which are currently under construction. Upon completion, 95,000 square feet will be available at the building. An additional 90,000 square feet remains available at 3100 Pennant Park as well. The 10-building office park totals 1 million square feet.
