GVA Announces Acosta Renews 88,870 SF at 130 Lizotte Drive in Marlborough

January 26, 2009

Marlborough, MA - John F. 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, CCIM, of GVA Advantis in Atlanta, represented Acosta Sales and Marketing Company, a leading agency servicing the consumer packaged goods industry, in its recent renewal of 88,870 SF at 130 Lizotte Drive in Marlborough. The landlord, T.A. Associates Realty, was represented by John Lashar of Richards Barry Joyce & Partners.

After an extensive search in the Boroughs, Acosta decided to remain in the building that was built in 1999 for Morris Alper Inc., 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. "We offer our clients a global platform of seamless services which is strengthened by the creativity and independence of our brokers and firms," Knight stated.
