Press Release, July 27, 2009

ATLANTA – CresaPartners, an international corporate real estate advisory firm, represented Pope, McGlamry, Kilpatrick, Morrison & Norwood, LLP in renewal of 6,347 square feet of office space at 3455 Peachtree Road NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30326. Billy Hobbs, Managing Principal, and Jason Jones, Principal, of CresaPartners assisted the civil litigation law firm in the decision to retain its current offices at The Pinnacle in Buckhead.

Pope, McGlamry, Kilpatrick, Morrison & Norwood, LLP, is a regional and nationwide civil trial law firm that specializes in and handles significant business fraud and commercial tort cases, often involving extensive damages. The firm also assists with contract disputes, business to business litigation, and cases of catastrophic injury and wrongful death involving issues related to automotive and general products liability. Pope, McGlamry, Kilpatrick, Morrison & Norwood, LLP, is known for its effective, aggressive, expedient and novel methods to resolve complex litigation matters, including cases involving consumer litigation, deceptive trade practices, insurance coverage litigation and premises liability.

“We have always appreciated the amenities offered by this prestigious Buckhead location, but we seriously considered relocating the firm because the price tag was getting a bit steep,” said N. Kirkland Pope, Managing Partner of Pope, McGlamry, Kilpatrick, Morrison & Norwood, LLP.

“CresaPartners’ assistance in restructuring the existing lease resulted in significant cost savings,” said Jay Hirsch, Managing Partner of Pope, McGlamry, Kilpatrick, Morrison & Norwood, LLP. “Billy Hobbs advised us last year to execute a one year extension. This was sound guidance and set the stage for us to take advantage of the soft market conditions in Buckhead this year.”

“Given the current real estate climate, especially in Buckhead, we surveyed many alternatives and then negotiated an early renewal and extension at The Pinnacle that far exceeded our client’s expectations,” said Billy Hobbs, Managing Principal with CresaPartners. “A lot of credit goes to Teresa Johnson, Cousins Properties Incorporated, for advising her owners to restructure a transaction that resulted in a “win-win” situation.”

Teresa Johnson with Cousins Properties Incorporated, represented The Pinnacle building owner, TIAA-CREF. The 424,000 square foot, 22 storied Pinnacle building is located in the heart of Atlanta’s most respected business districts, and is one of the most prestigious addresses in the city. Built in 1998 across from Phipps Plaza, the location features floor-to-ceiling windows providing panoramic views, and the dramatic crown formed by the sail above the sky garden provides a distinctive identity.
