CresaPartners completes its tenth year of service to Atlanta’s business community.

Press Release, February 19, 2009

ATLANTA – CresaPartners, headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, is the largest pure tenant representation firm in North America and the nation’s fastest-growing commercial real estate firm focusing on corporate services, tenant representation and project management. CresaPartners Atlanta, one of the largest affiliates, is celebrating ten years of service to Atlanta’s office and industrial space users.

CresaPartners is an international corporate real estate advisory firm that exclusively represents tenants and specializes in the delivery of fully integrated real estate services. The company was originally formed in 1998, when leading regional tenant representation firms joined forces to strengthen their capabilities and provide a greater scope of services. After ten years of operation, CresaPartners now has more than 50 offices and 700 employees, bringing a highly strategic focus to the real estate counsel it provides corporate clients.

The Atlanta office is owned by five principals, each with more than 20 years of real estate experience; Billy Hobbs, Kevin Creel, Richard T. (Bubba) Chrismer, and Co-Founders, Jim Byrd and Tom Tindall. With a staff of 25, the professionals at CresaPartners are passionate about understanding the needs of their clients to deliver exceptional service for the long term. By choosing to represent the interests of tenants alone, CresaPartners avoids conflicts of interest of firms representing landlords as well as tenants. The company’s real estate Advisors take pride in collaborating with clients to provide service-oriented rather than transaction-oriented counsel.

“We were one of the first cities to join CresaPartners in 1998 and Atlanta now ranks in the top ten among more than 50 CresaPartners offices, with regards to overall impression of our Advisors and project management experience, according to the latest peer-to-peer review,” said Tom Tindall, Co-Founder and Principal of CresaPartners Atlanta. “As a profitable, privately-held company with no debt, we are poised for continued growth in both numbers of clients served and total transaction volume.” Tom Tindall is the Managing Broker for the Atlanta office and is also one of eleven members of the CresaPartners’ National Board of Directors.

“We are guided by the concept of “Do the Right Thing”, both internally and externally,” said Jim Byrd, Co-Founder and Principal of CresaPartners Atlanta. “While this value has been the cornerstone of our business success for the past ten years, it is more important than ever in the current economic environment. Without any conflicts of interest with landlords, our Advisors can provide real value to tenants by pushing hard to get the best deals.”

CresaPartners’ mission is to provide customized solutions exclusively for office and industrial space users by offering fully integrated services that align their real estate with their business plans, delivering maximum cost savings, and exceeding expectations. CresaPartners is guided by the industry’s only Tenant’s Bill of Rights, a clear expression of what tenants can and should demand of their real estate advisors.
