Atlanta, GA (June 10, 2013) - Joel & Granot Real Estate, LLC/CORFAC International (JGRE), a leading full-service commercial real estate provider serving the Metro Atlanta market, today announced the completion of a 19,037-square-foot office lease on behalf of Lucas Associates, LLC d/b/a/ the Lucas Group at One Atlanta Plaza, 950 East Paces Ferry Road, Atlanta, Georgia.

Lucas Group (www.lucasgroup.com) will occupy the 23rd floor of the 611,976-square-foot office building, which is owned by CSHV One Atlanta, LLC. Lucas Group signed a ten-year lease for space on the 23rd floor of the building and will move to the premises in early summer. 

JGRE Principals Alan Joel, CCIM and Dan Granot, SIOR represented Lucas Group in lease negotiations.

The Lucas Group is a leading executive recruitment firm in North America that serves mid-tier to Fortune 500 clients and will relocate this summer to a higher profile building -- Atlanta Plaza. JGRE was able to leverage a unique deal for the Lucas Group. With several years left on their current lease, JGRE aided the Lucas Group in terminating the contract and allowed the firm to walk away from its existing location with minimal penalty fees. The new space is the ideal location that will allow the company to meet their expectations of growth in the years to come.

Lucas Group associates work with recruitment experts across the country to deliver demonstrated hiring results. The company facilitates major U.S. industries to find and place talented professionals that will help them meet their business objectives and goals.

Joel & Granot Real Estate/CORFAC International has assisted the Lucas Group with real estate requirements outside of Atlanta by utilizing the CORFAC network of affiliated firms on several occasions, most recently in Chicago. The Lucas group has over 15 locations throughout the U.S. and is looking at several markets for expansion.

“The quality of the building, ideal location and on-site and area amenities are conducive to creating the corporate culture desired by Lucas Group” said Bob Prather, CFO of Lucas Associates. “We evaluated numerous space options in the area and determined that One Atlanta Plaza provided the best occupancy solution to accommodate the needs of this growing company.”

“Atlanta Plaza is a premier office property that has a unique location within the Buckhead area of Atlanta.  It is a world-class office environment in every respect.  From the tasteful simplicity of its 34-story exterior to the elegance of its grand entrance lobby, Atlanta Plaza is one of the best locations for a business in Atlanta,” said Alan Joel.
