Client Corner: CHILDS Advisory Partners Opens Buckhead Office
JGRE continues to execute strong Tenant Representation transactions on behalf of its clients. Dan Granot, as the lead broker, represented CHILDS Advisory Partners in their new Class A office space in Phipps Tower located at 3438 Peachtree Road, Atlanta, GA. The relationship between Dan Granot and Jim Childs, Managing Director of CHILDS Advisory Partners, goes back to 1975 in Atlanta, Georgia where they met on the tennis courts. Both outstanding tennis players, Dan and Jim are alumni of the University of Georgia’s Men’s Tennis Team under the legendary coach Dan McGill. The fun and competitive thirty-year friendship may have begun with tennis, however, their friendship did not stop there—it paved a smooth path for both parties to finalize this transaction as well as numerous others through the years. |

Here’s how the rest of the U.S. stacks up with the Atlanta Class A office market: - Top 10 Most Expensive Cities & Atlanta Top 10 Submarkets Click here to view the source. What is CORFAC International and how does it benefit our clients? Like a finely tuned and competitive athlete intent on bringing his or her A game to their chosen sport each time they step onto the field, court, or swimming pool, etc., all of us at Joel & Granot Real Estate work incredibly hard to know our business in great detail, and bring our knowledge to the work we do with our clients every day. Since 2003 when we joined Corporate Facility Advisors (CORFAC International) as the designated office market affiliate in Atlanta (our colleagues King Industrial Realty/CORFAC International take care of industrial business locally), our clients have benefitted immensely from our affiliation with CORFAC. Foremost, because CORFAC International gives us the ability to represent our clients in real estate transactions outside of Georgia by working with highly competent and trusted associates to lease or acquire commercial real estate. |
