Case Study: Lewis Thomason achieves contiguous office consolidation and expansion with Cresa

Lewis Thomason - Customer Case Study

Lewis Thomason, a regional law firm in Nashville, faced a bifurcated office situation—approximately 17,000 sq. ft. on the 25th floor and 5,000 sq. ft. on the 21st—with a lease term still 3.5 years out. Lewis Thomason engaged Cresa for consulting, transaction management and lease negotiations to find a path to expand, extend and consolidate their premises while minimizing disruption.

Cresa negotiated with the landlord, coordinated a third‑party lease, managed space planning and budgeting, and leveraged alternative options to optimize outcomes. About 28 months after engagement Cresa executed an expansion, extension and consolidation that brought the firm together on the 25th and 26th floors (approximately 28,000 sq. ft.), eliminating the split space and unifying the team.
