Troy Elmore and Brad Freyer with E&F Consulting Group LP opened a Sandler Sales Institute location in 1,540 sf of the 308,000-sf office building at 4635 Southwest Freeway. John Hornbuckle of Cypressbrook Co. in the Woodlands, who represented local the building owner, EP Office Holdings LP, says the lease was sealed at very close to the $16 per sf gross quote.

"The space had been vacant for about two months," Hornbuckle tells GlobeSt.com, "and we ended up doing a turnkey build-out for them." The building's standard rate for tenant improvements is $8 per sf to $10 per sf. The deal pushed occupancy to 82%, with two more deals pending for the 35-year-old building, he says.

Marcos Litofsky of Equis Corp.'s Houston office represented Elmore and Freyer. Sandler Sales Institute has training centers and franchisees nationwide to teach professionals how to develop quality leads, close deals and retain clients. There is one other Sandler franchisee in the Houston area.
