“Real estate is simple – it’s all about helping someone make a great business decision.”– Scotland A. Wright

This simple statement is the essence of what we do at Scotland Wright Associates.

Years of experience allow us to help our clients make the best possible real estate

decision for their business. And since real estate can communicate the essence of

a brand or add significant value to a product, these decisions are among the most

critical made by any enterprise. Scotland Wright Associates specializes in helping

industrial and office tenants make this critical decision with clarity and confidence.

Our Firm

For many of our competitors, the real estate business is about bricks and mortar, competition and commission, net and gross, and leases and sales.

At Scotland Wright Associates, we understand that real estate is actually about relationships. We strive to get to know our clients, and help them make a decision that will benefit their business. It is our firm belief that as long as we put the needs of our clients, friends and associates first, success will find us.

So far, it has. Scotland Wright Associates was established in 2002, but its real estate roots are much deeper. Founder Scotland A. Wright first became enamored with real estate as a child.

“I remember being excited by the energy and environment of full buildings and thriving communities,” says Wright, describing his early memories as a native Atlantan. It is only fitting that his firm is now helping to fill up those buildings. Today, Scotland Wright Associates executives have more than 40 combined years in representing tenants seeking office and industrial space. The company has an established reputation for excellence within the industry.

A core principle of the firm is delivering high-level counsel and service to every transaction. Scotland Wright brings more than 25 years of industry experience to bear on each engagement. The company’s offering of real estate counsel, service and focus on doing what’s right for its clients has yielded tangible results: up to 70 percent of the firm’s business is repeat business. We also bring decades of experience and a fierce commitment to excellence to the bargaining table on each transaction.

Our ServicesWe help clients lease, buy or sell office and industrial space.

In Atlanta’s various submarkets, situations are fluid. For a client to determine value, various factors must be weighed. Buildings and space must be researched and analyzed. Proposals must be evaluated and considered. Once information is gathered, decisions must often be made carefully but quickly.

Fortunately, our approach to real estate allows us to know the market and our clients, enabling us to quickly find the right deal in the right place at the right price for our clients. The Scotland Wright Associates approach nets our clients an average of 15 to 20 percent savings on the typical lease transaction. A full list of specific services we offer is below.

• Tenant representation (industrial sales and leasing, office leasing) • Financial Analysis • Real Estate Consulting • Employee base research and analysis • Market analysis and research • Relocation Management

OfficeAtlanta’s office sector has eleven distinct submarkets – Downtown, Midtown, Buckhead, North Fulton, Perimeter, Cumberland, Northlake, Northeast Atlanta, Peachtree Corners, South Atlanta and West Atlanta. Office leasing requires in-depth knowledge of these submarkets, which are often fluid in terms of occupancy and rates. Scotland Wright Associates has extensive office leasing experience for some of Atlanta’s most successful businesses, including technology, professional service, telecommunications and consumer products companies. We bring a rugged determination to negotiating winning deals for our clients, and are familiar with the anxious owners and savvy large commercial building managers who are on the other side of the table.

IndustrialMetro Atlanta’s location at the hub of key interstates, rail lines, and the world’s busiest airport has long made it a magnet for industrial and distribution enterprises. Over the past few decades, many of the world’s largest industrial owners and developers have heavily invested in the city’s industrial submarkets, which include Stone Mountain, Fulton Industrial, Gwinnett/I-85, Northwest, Central Atlanta, Chattahoochee, North Central, Snapfinger, Northeast, Stone Mountain and South Atlanta/Airport. With our extensive market knowledge of all of Atlanta’s industrial submarkets, Scotland Wright Associates has helped clients in distribution, manufacturing, logistics, transportation and all facets of industrial real estate find, lease or develop their own space.
