John Hennessey, SIOR, president/partner, along with the Metrowest team of James Bartholomew, Lowell Peabody, and Connor Barnes of GVA Thompson Hennessey & Partners, and Bill Knight of GVA Advantis in Atlanta, represented Acosta Sales and Marketing Co., in its renewal of 88,870 s/f at 130 Lizotte Dr. The landlord, T.A. Associates Realty, was represented by John Lashar of RBJ. Acosta decided to remain in the building that was built for Morris Alper who subsequently merged with the company. The landlord was able to present an aggressive offer to Acosta, who needed to reconfigure its space, and ultimately retain the food sales and marketing firm as a tenant. "In these economic times, GVA firms now more than ever are working closely together in order to meet and surpass client expectations. This partnership between GVA Thompson Hennessey & Partners and GVA Advantis on behalf of Acosta's needs demonstrates that," stated Hennessey.
