Hines and Cousins Properties, the Atlanta-based REIT, announced that Spaces, Regus' flexible workspace concept, has signed a 34,000 square-foot, 11-year lease at 8000 Avalon, a 224,000 square foot Class A office development in Atlanta, GA.
"We are pleased to announce that Spaces has chosen 8000 Avalon as its next location in Atlanta," said John Heagy, Senior Managing Director of Hines. "Spaces is an innovative concept focused on the social side of the flexible workspace industry which ties in well with what we've created in the Avalon community."
8000 Avalon is the only high-rise office building in Avalon, a leading mixed-use development in North Atlanta. Hines and Cousins entered into a joint venture to develop the $73 million project, which is currently under construction. With the addition of Spaces, 8000 Avalon is now 40% leased.
"Cousins and Hines are thrilled to have Spaces as a new customer at 8000 Avalon," said Larry Gellerstedt, president and chief executive officer of Cousins. "Spaces adds a unique element to 8000 Avalon and the entire mixed-use district by offering meeting rooms and coworking spaces to the next generation of business owners and entrepreneurs. We look forward to having Spaces open for business this fall."
Spaces was represented in the lease negotiations by David Demarest, Brannan Moss and Jennifer Ziegler of JLL.
