It is relocating the Atlanta team from its current office
in Central Perimeter.
The company is expected to hire an additional 25-30 new
employees after the move is finalized later this fall, with Lenox Park’s lush
greenspace, diverse amenity base and closer proximity to the urban core
expected to provide an immediate recruiting advantage for young professional
talent.
“Our extensive interior and exterior renovations and
capital improvements at Lenox Park have created a first-class office
environment that reflects Tidwell Group’s passion for its team and return to
office,” said Tina Renee McCall, Managing Director at Bridge Investment
Group.

“We’re thrilled to welcome one of America’s
fastest-growing accounting firms to the campus, which continues to serve as a
dynamic talent hub for companies of all sizes.
"Emerging small-to-mid-sized users are driving a lot of the activity
right now in both the local and national office market as more businesses place
a premium on highly-amenitized buildings that equally value collaboration,
wellness and flexibility.”

and offering immediate access to I-85, Georgia 400 and Peachtree Road, Lenox
Park is a 1.1 million-square-foot, Class-A office campus offering a wide variety of
options for tenants.
Office spaces ranging from 3,000 to 380,000 square feet
are available, including spec suites, traditional office space and flexible
office space through Abridge,
a new flexible-term office program that connects businesses with move-in ready
office space while preserving individual brand and workspace.

Acquired by Bridge in 2018, Lenox Park has undergone a $16.8 million
transformative repositioning, with added amenities, a full renovation of the
courtyard, construction of a food and beverage building and a bridge connecting
the 1277 building to the rest of the park.
The central courtyard features outdoor meeting spaces,
walking trails, game areas, a dog park and entertainment activation space.
Lenox Square Mall and Phipps Plaza are just a few minutes from the property,
along with numerous hotels and restaurants.
As the return to office continues to slowly increase
across the country, new numbers reveal that much of the existing narratives on
the future of office may be based more on speculation than actual data.
“The flight to quality is being fueled by companies that
understand the value of having their people together but also realize those
workers now have choices in a real war for talent,” said Jeff Shaw, CEO
of Bridge Commercial Real Estate.
“Office landlords and property managers must create a
compelling environment and a better product that responds to the fast-changing
preferences of today’s office workers.
"Firms like Tidwell Group represent the first wave
of that movement, and I think we’ll see more of that activity ramp up as we
head into the fall and the months beyond.”
