The Client

R.W. Baird, Alpharetta, GA8,500 sq. ft. Class A office

• By renewing their lease 1 year early, NATA was able to save client $140,000 in rental obligations

• After assessing client’s needs, NATA also downsized their office space by 20% to ensure future savings

• NATA secured a new lease at a 30% savings over previous lease and a generous tenant improvement allowance

Recent Case Studies

Having occupied the same commercial space for many years, our office needed updating. We also wondered whether our lease terms best served our company. But , we were in the middle of a contract. Ted Schwartz of NATA reviewed our lease agreement and successfully negotiated a contract that offered us both substantial savings and allowed us to modernize our space. As a result, we are enjoying a fresh look and are confident that our lease agreement is consistent with current market trends.

Thanks Ted! -Jack Cohen Director
