Adams Capital, Inc. Reaffirms Commitment to Galleria – Cumberland Area


Business valuation services firm finds financial opportunity in renewing its lease at 600 Galleria Parkway.

Press Release, March 26, 2010

ATLANTA – CresaPartners, the largest tenant representation firm in North America, recently assisted Adams Capital, Inc. in the early renewal of its lease of 3,420 square feet at 600 Galleria Parkway SE, Suite 1850, Atlanta, Georgia 30339. Hansell Roddenbery, Vice President of CresaPartners Atlanta represented Adams Capital in the lease negotiations.

In business, many occasions arise when an unbiased, independently determined business valuation is the key to the formulation and execution of strategy. Adams Capital specializes in valuation, having completed over 2,000 public and private transactions, representing over $50 billion. The company provides business valuation services for a variety of purposes including: financial reporting, fairness opinions, stock option valuation, gift and estate tax planning, Employee Stock Ownership Plans, and corporate recapitalizations.

“We perform financial valuations for other companies and like to practice what we preach,” said David P. Adams, III, President of Adams Capital. “With the help of CresaPartners and the extensive economic analysis that Hansell Roddenbery prepared on alternative office sites, we renegotiated the lease at our current location and lowered our overall occupancy expense.”

“We started investigating other options about 18 months ago, when the provisions of Adams Capital’s existing lease started exceeding the market rate due to rent escalation terms,” said Hansell Roddenbery, Vice President with CresaPartners. “At the time, the existing landlord was not willing to consider a renewal at a lower rate. However, within the last few months, the market has softened and the final terms offered by the landlord made lease renewal a financially sound decision.”

Connie Engel, Childress Klein Properties, represented the owner of the 600 Galleria Parkway building, the State Teacher Retirement System of Ohio. The 430,000 square foot building was completed in 2002 and attained Energy Star status in 2009. It is located in the Atlanta Galleria Office Park near the crossroads of I-285 and I-75.
