MARTA Is 'Secret Weapon' For Central Perimeter
Thats a quote from AirWatchs COO David Dabbiere, who explains why Central Perimeter was such a lure for the mobile device security company, which leased more than 100k SF at 1155 Perimeter Center West last year and moved from a much smaller facility near Georgia Tech. AirWatch employs 800 in Perimeter, and David (far right, along with Clearwave Corps CEO Gerard White, AutoTrader.coms David Spotts, and Technology Association of Georgias CEO Tino Mantella) told the audience during last weeks Perimeter Business Alliance luncheon at the Ravinia Club that MARTA is especially desirable for retaining a young workforce.
David Spotts (in center with Sandy Springs Mayor Eva Galambos and Brookhaven city councilwoman Rebecca Chase Williams) notes that Perimeter attracts employees who want to live, work, and play in an area. And he says MARTA is popular with its 1,600-employee workforce (where it leases 450k SF at Summit Boulevard), with more than 200 people commuting on the system each day.
