Cushman & Wakefield | Commerce Negotiates Long-Term Lease for High-Growth Company, Venafi

SALT LAKE CITY, UT--(Marketwire - Feb 26, 2013) - Cushman & Wakefield | Commerce (www.comre.com) has negotiated a seven-year lease on a new corporate headquarters in downtown Salt Lake City for the rapidly growing data security firm Venafi. The 37,000 sf space occupies an entire floor of the City Centre Building at 175 East 400 South.

Cushman & Wakefield | Commerce represented both the tenant and the landlord. Mike Richmond, Senior Director and Dana Baird, Senior Director represented the landlord, Wasatch Commercial Management. Dana Baird and Peter Hanlon represented the tenant in this transaction.

"Venafi was previously in an 18,000 sf suburban office and quickly running out of space," Baird said. "This new lease provides them with more than double the space in a vibrant, downtown site that is directly adjacent to a TRAX line, which made it even more attractive. Downtown is once again home to a market-leading high-tech company."

Part of what made this an ideal location for the tenant was the large floor plate, which enables everyone to be on the same floor. Baird said this was a big selling point because it will allow them to include spacious "collaboration areas" as part of the build-out.
