Transwestern’s Minneapolis office announced JAMF Software as a tenant at Washington Square, a three-building complex owned by Shorenstein. JAMF will occupy two full floors totaling more than 52,000 square feet at 100 Washington. Transwestern’s leasing team of Reed Christianson and Erin Wendorf represented the building owner in the transaction.
“JAMF Software is exactly the type of tenant − young, innovative, high-tech − we were hoping to attract with the $12 million renovation currently underway,” said Wendorf, vice president with Transwestern. “With elements like a collaborative employee lounge, outdoor club and workspace, bocce court and zen garden, the renovation is proof that with the right investment, older office buildings can be repurposed into creative, inspiring office environments that are able to meet the fast-changing demands of today’s workforce.”
“Due to the rapid growth of our business, JAMF Software is quickly outgrowing its Minneapolis headquarters,” said Steve Hanson, vice president of operations, JAMF Software. “Our selection of a new office space was deliberate and careful. We knew we wanted a unique site in a highly desirable location; one that could support our culture and ongoing commitment to being one of the best places to work in the Twin Cities. 100 Washington Square offers enormous potential for us to achieve these objectives, as well as the flexibility to design a state-of-the-art headquarters that will help us attract and retain the very best talent.”
JAMF Software was represented in the transaction by John Lorence and John Nigon with CBRE’s Global Corporate Services Group.
“With their extraordinary growth, JAMF Software desired a location that offered an immediate solution to their space needs,” said Lorence. “The planned capital improvements at 100 Washington will provide a world-class headquarters that will attract and retain the best talent.”
