Relocating
from Buckhead to the Central Perimeter, USI will occupy the seventh floor
of Concourse Building I and is slated to move in later this
year.
The
owner was represented by Jeff Keppen and Nicole Goldsmith of
CBRE. Pete Shelton and Andrew Waguespack of Colliers
International represented the tenant.
“The
continued growth and success of USI necessitated a search for a dynamic

Insurance Services.

“The
Collective at Concourse is the ideal base for our Atlanta
team. We can fit all of our departments on a single
floor, which will strengthen USI’s ability to conduct
business with our clients locally, regionally, nationally and across the
globe.
"Our
final move-in date remains fluid given current events, but we look forward to
opening a new chapter of growth and prosperity in the Central
Perimeter.”
In
recent years, the Central Perimeter has experienced tremendous growth, emerging
as a strong contender for companies looking to establish roots in a
high-powered, well-connected region.
As
a transit node with convenient access to Atlanta’s CBD and a wealth
of retail, entertainment and dining options,
the urban-suburban district has attracted several national and
international businesses, which view the area as an ideal alternative to intown
corporate hubs such as Buckhead and Midtown.
