Architecture firm Lord, Aeck & Sargent (LAS) has inked a long-term lease for the top two floors of the 100 Colony Square tower in Midtown.
LAS’ Atlanta office, currently located in the 400 Colony Square tower for more than 22 years, comprises 19,226 square feet. The firm announced in April a merger with urban design and planning firm Urban Collage, whose downtown Atlanta office comprises 3,600 square feet. The new lease, which is for 30,000 square feet on the 23rd and 24th floors of the mixed-use complex’s taller 100 tower, represents an increase in total combined space of nearly a third. The move to the new space is expected to take place in the second quarter of 2014.
“We’re looking forward to our move with great anticipation,” said Joe Greco, LAS president. “First, it allows our Atlanta-based urban design and planning practice area folks to co-locate with our architects and interior designers, allowing for greater synergies with our multifamily housing and mixed-use, higher education, science and technology, and historic preservation practice areas. And second, the move will give us additional space to accommodate our plans for future growth in an extremely collaborative environment.”
