Crown Castle has leased 25,000 s/f on the top floor and subleased 25,000 s/f just one floor below, from EQT. The company has officially moved in and is pleased to call The Fountainhead home.

South- pointe, a thriving community of office, retail, housing and entertainment has witnessed this movement and looks for- ward to more companies to follow in trend. Director of brokerage, Kel- ley Hoover Heckathorne was also able to place EQT in 30,000 s/f at 400 Woodcliff Dr. just down the road in Southpointe. This space was formerly Rice Energy’s office that is now coincidentally be- ing subleased to EQT. Overall, Heckathorne of Burns Scalo Brokerage ob- serves that “Southpointe is seeing a lot of activity for large users. This absorption of space is a positive for the real estate market.” n Burns Scalo Brokerage announces high
