ATLANTA, Dec. 22, 2014
– JLL announced it has been awarded exclusive leasing assignments for
three well-known office properties totaling about 3.2 million square feet in
metro Atlanta.
The properties include the iconic six-tower, 2.4
million-square-foot Peachtree Center in downtown Atlanta; the
four-building, 558,617-square-foot Satellite Place in Duluth; and the
two-building, 266,054-square-foot Deerfield Corporate Centre in
Alpharetta.
JLL received the assignments from Banyan Street Capital, which
has had a long-standing ownership interest in Peachtree Center, and, in a
partnership with Oaktree Capital Management, recently closed on the
acquisitions of Satellite Place and Deerfield Corporate Centre.

Crucial to the leasing teams of the properties will be the
new hire of Michael Werner joining JLL from Parkway Realty Services,
where he was responsible for the leasing of Peachtree Center, as well as other
high-profile Atlanta office properties. Werner is a Vice President in JLL’s
Agency Leasing group.
Senior Vice President Kay Younglove, Werner and
new hire David Horne, who has joined JLL as a Leasing Associate, will
oversee the leasing of Peachtree Center, for which Banyan Street Capital
recently secured approximately $35 million in financing to use for capital
improvements and leasing costs at the property.
Younglove also has experience leasing Peachtree Center,
having leased the property in the late 1980s for architect and developer John
Portman. Horne joins JLL from Parkway Realty Services.
Senior Vice President Glenn Aspinwall, a long-time
Gwinnett County resident, and Werner will lease Satellite Place, while
Younglove and Horne will handle the leasing of Deerfield Corporate Centre.
“David and I are pleased to be joining a team recognized as
the strongest agency in the city, and to be able to continue to serve such a
great client as Banyan Street,” Werner said.
