Lincoln Financial Group has made it official: RiverEdge Summit it is! 

As we first reported here, Lincoln announced today that it intends to expand its Group Protection business at the 100k SF Sandy Springs office building. Lincoln officials say the new office will allow the company to expand by hundreds of new jobs, amounting to one of the metro area's largest economic development victories so far this year. Company officials did not pin an exact number, but say, "Lincoln expects to hire a significant number of new staff across all of its Group Protection business functions to support its growth." The division has 200 employees in Atlanta, but that "number is expected to grow substantially over the next three to five years," officials say in a press release. The company did not reveal how much space it plans to take, but sources previously told us it was in talks for 100k SF.
