Last Wednesday, we had an insightful Lunch and Learn session with American Interiors and MillerKnoll, where we explored the connection between office design and employee productivity. 🍽️✨ We discussed how design can go beyond aesthetics: how it can foster collaboration, enhance productivity, and even improve employee well-being. Looking forward to using these insights to continue helping clients create the best possible environments for their teams! Thanks to American Interiors and MillerKnoll for sharing their valuable insights. Can't wait for the next one!

Office moves go beyond a change of address. They’re a strategic business decision. Recently, we had the opportunity to work alongside Highwoods Properties to facilitate the Taylor White lease at Highwoods Bay Center, helping to ensure they found the right fit for their needs. Our role? Bringing clarity and strategy to the leasing process. We worked closely with both sides to align goals, negotiate terms, and create a solution that worked for everyone involved. Kudos to Matt Sultenfuss, SIOR and Tim Hurless, SIOR for guiding this transaction and making it a seamless process. Always a pleasure working with Highwoods to expand their office portfolio! Looking forward to seeing Taylor White thrive in their new space.

In industrial real estate, the right space can make or break a business. That’s why we at Avocat Group go beyond looking for a location and find a space that supports the big picture.

This new space allows our client to streamline operations, expand capabilities, and keep up with rising demand. Transaction Managers Shirley Smith and Victoria Pereiro dove deep into the tenant’s needs so that every element of the deal aligned with their long-term vision. Here’s to a future full of growth, innovation, and endless possibilities! 🏆

We’re thrilled to share the groundbreaking news for Joffrey's Coffee & Tea Company's new headquarters! 🎉 After celebrating 40 years of creating exceptional coffee and tea, Joffrey’s is now taking the next step in its journey. This new space will help them continue to innovate and grow, while staying committed to serving customers with the same passion that got them here. Initially, we were faced with the task of consolidating three functions – a headquarters office, distribution center and manufacturing/roasting facilities – into a single location, with a preference for exploring ownership opportunities. Utilizing our specialized Potential Paths analysis, Avocat Group presented Joffrey’s with various options, including the purchase of an existing building, acquisition of land for new construction, and leasing options. We at Avocat Group are proud to have been involved in the project that supported the development of Joffrey’s new headquarters. It's been a pleasure working alongside such a dedicated team to bring this vision to life. We can’t wait to see what the next 40+ years bring for Joffrey’s and we look forward to more exciting milestones to come. Here's to the future of Joffrey's! 💜
