While it's well-known that the law firm has engaged Daniel to explore a new building, John's working to keep Alston in place when its current lease expires in 2013. Hines did three new leases last year and has a couple in the works, but John was an Eagle Scout and plans to be prepared. He's holding floors for a potential consolidation of Alston, which currently has 235k SF in One Atlantic Center, with nearly as much in neighboring Atlantic Center Plaza.
