It definitely was a State Farm kinda year in 2013. In our roundup of Atlanta's Top 10 office leases, State Farm's numerous office deals dominate the list, including the top spot for The Terraces in Dunwoody, where it leased 318k SF. All told, the insurance giant leased in excess of 880k SF last year, throughout Central Perimeter (it ultimately purchased Hammond Exchange, but that fat lease still managed to sneak into the list). Perhaps the most stark contrast (other than State Farm) on this year's Top 10 is that many of the deals are new and not simply renewals, including MailChimp, one of three big deals that have made Jamestown Properties' Ponce City Market a home run.
