PHOENIX—Hines recently completed a 60,000-square-foot long-term lease for Jones, Skelton & Hochuli at its downtown Renaissance Square.
The Phoenix-based firm with 80 attorneys and 125 support staff will be relocating from mid-town Phoenix to the new downtown Phoenix location. The law firm specializes in trial practice, insurance law, personal injury defense, commercial litigation, defense of corporations, self-insured professionals, governmental entities, insurance companies and medical malpractice carriers.
Chris Anderson, managing director and city leader for Hines, tells GlobeSt.com, “The tenant was attracted to the building's amenities, upgrades and the ownership of the building. There have been some nice upgrades in the last 12 months—new signage, a restaurant—it's a great environment. Also, it's where the workforce wants to be. Banner took over their old space so it's a win-win for Phoenix.”
Managing partner at Jones, Skelton & Hochuli William D. Holm says, “Moving to Renaissance Square provides Jones, Skelton & Hochuli with greater access to the courts, and enables us to participate in the energy and vitality in downtown Phoenix.”
Jones, Skelton & Hochuli is leasing floors 24 - 27 with a balcony reception area on the 27th floor.
Other major tenants at Renaissance Square include Bryan Cave, Ernst & Young, Gammage and Burnham, Quarles & Brady and The Greater Phoenix Economic Council. Renaissance Square is a set of twin downtown buildings located on a full-city block at 2 N. Central Ave. and 40 N. Central Ave.
Chuck Nixon with CBRE represented the law firm and Pat Devine of Cushman & Wakefield represented Hines in the transaction.
