ATLANTA, GA – Lincoln Property Company Southeast (Lincoln) brokered approximately 100,000 square feet of leases on behalf of Equity Office Properties (EOP) in the North Fulton section of metro Atlanta during the fourth quarter. 

The activity capped a busy and productive year for Lincoln in EOP’s North Fulton portfolio. All told, Lincoln brokered leases totaling nearly 350,000 square feet in the portfolio, which totals 2 million square feet.

Hunter Henritze and Michael Howell, each a vice president of office leasing at Lincoln, represented EOP in the transactions.

EOP’s North Fulton portfolio now has an occupancy rate of 90 percent, a significant increase from where the rate stood — 80 percent — when Lincoln began leasing the properties two years ago.
