Case Study: Neal & Harwell achieves a modern consolidated 31,000 sq. ft. office and favorable lease outcomes with Cresa

Neal & Harwell - Customer Case Study

Neal & Harwell, a Nashville law firm occupying 31,000 sq. ft. and original tenants at One Nashville Place, engaged Cresa for Transaction Management and Consulting to define a next‑generation office and client‑facing experience. After expanding incrementally over 30 years and never having been represented by a broker, the firm needed help reaching partner consensus on if and where to relocate.

Cresa built partner alignment, evaluated the existing building and competing projects, and secured a co‑anchor solution at 1201 Demonbreun timed to deliver six months after the firm’s current lease expiration. Cresa negotiated a lease extension with the new landlord covering all holdover costs, arranged a beneficial short‑term sublease for an additional 5,000 sq. ft. on an adjacent floor, and delivered a consolidated, future‑ready space while minimizing financial exposure.
