ATLANTA, March 28, 2016 – Robert Metcalf, Gregg Metcalf and Shannon

“It is an honor for our
team to receive this prominent award,” said Mike Sivewright, JLL’s Market Director for the Atlanta region.
“Their hard work and dedication to helping Merecedes-Benz USA secure a
fantastic location in Atlanta was evident throughout the process, and we are
thrilled that we were able to help bring such a great company to the
city.”
The brokers found and
secured a 12-acre site for the new campus headquarters, located in Atlanta’s
Central Perimeter submarket, and worked with the City of Atlanta, the City of
Sandy Springs and multiple Economic Development teams to convince
Merecedes-Benz USA that Atlanta was the right fit.
Simultaneously, JLL negotiated almost 100,000
square feet of temporary office space so Mercedes could begin operations in the
city starting July 2015.
The Alvin B. Cates award
is presented annually to one person or group for a transaction that is
considered to be outstanding, noteworthy and is based on creativity, ingenuity
and skill, rather than on volume.
