Brady Sullivan Props. leases 27,351 s/f to Alumni Ventures Group at Jefferson Mill

Manchester, NH Brady Sullivan Properties has secured a new neighbor at its office headquarters at 670 N. Commercial St. Alumni Ventures Group (AVG) executed a long-term lease for 27,351 s/f on the top floor of the historic Jefferson Mill, with plans to consolidate three New Hampshire offices into this one location. James Tobin, Brady Sullivan’s director of commercial leasing, facilitated the transaction on the landlord’s behalf. JLL’s Boston team represented AVG.

AVG president and COO Colin Van Ostern diligently pursued the best property options in the competitive Manchester Millyard. The soon-to-be headquarters space at the Jefferson Mill boasts a top floor presence, windows overlooking the Merrimack River and Amoskeag Falls, 22-foot ceilings, and a deep history of commerce and innovation. The space presents a perfect balance of private office area and exceptional collaboration space for their operation. AVG plans to take occupancy in Q4 of 2021.

“We’re excited to renew our investment in Manchester, New Hampshire as the long-term headquarters of our growing company, and to build on this community’s strong tradition of innovation,” said AVG founder and CEO Mike Collins.

Brady Sullivan’s deal with AVG caps off a second quarter which included over 88,000 s/f in new leases. The market has been incredibly active in the post-pandemic world, as commercial tenants focus on rightsizing, optimizing, and safely returning to the workplace.

Brady Sullivan Properties continues to demonstrate an ability to accommodate virtually any commercial requirement, from first-class office space to creative loft/mill suites, industrial/warehouse, retail and beyond.
