Atlanta, GA —MOCK, the agency, an advertising, graphic
and digital design company based in Atlanta, purchased two buildings on 14th
Street, in Atlanta’s Westside district. The first building will become MOCK’s
new office, and the other is available for lease.
The
decision to purchase the buildings was two-fold: Mock’s principals aim to
create a unique environment to build their company culture and also believe the
real estate play will have financial rewards.
“We wanted to find a permanent home and build
our home,” said principal Donald Mock. “We also believe we’ll be able to
reduce the money we are spending on office space, if we get the right tenant.”
The two
buildings, at 247 14th Street and 253 14th Street, are both 2,500 square
feet. MOCK has worked with architect Jordan Williams of Plexus R+D, and
both buildings are currently under renovation. Expect contemporary, open,
creative space.

“Architecture and graphic design go well
together,” said Mock. “We are tearing apart something, and re-creating it from
scratch. It mirrors what we do for our clients and has been a really
invigorating, creative process.”
Principal
Rob Broadfoot encourages other business owners to consider owning,
rather than leasing. “Instead of paying rent to someone else, we are building
equity,” he said.
Other
advantages of buying include: Properties in good locations will appreciate over
time; costs are predictable, particularly with a long-term, fixed-rate
mortgage; companies can take depreciation on the improvement portions of their
property; companies can usually deduct interest payments on their tax filings;
owners can rent out extra office space as an added source of income; businesses
are free to make the spaces their own.
