Stephen Cooper, vice president with NAI Robert Lynn, tellsGlobeSt.com that PCI Technology invested about one year into thesearch for more room, with the final cut being down to three whenthe decision was made to stay in a building owned by its long-timelandlord, Eastpoint Business Center Inc. of Alexandria, VA. Thetenant, part of Milwaukee-based Brady Medical Solutions, will moveto 1801 Big Town Blvd. from 8181 and 8420 Eastpoint Dr., which isabout a half-mile to the east.

PCI Technology's old lease expired at the end of January. "But,with the same landlord, they're not having the hassles of ahold-over," Cooper explains. He adds that the existinginfrastructure in the flex industrial building also helped to giveit an advantage over two other possible sites.

Cooper and Tom Lynn, the local firm's president of corporateservices, worked out a long-term lease with one bump during itsterm for the tenant. Tom Smolik of TIG Real Estate Services inDallas represented the building owner, which has a $3.25 per sfquote attached to the Eastpoint IV space.
