Elifin Realty is relocating from its Mid City space, signing a five-year lease for a downtown office more than double the size.
Growing business—and employee ranks—necessitated the move to a 3,500-square-foot-space at 640 Main Street. Elifin now has 10 employees and is looking to add two more within the next month, says Elifin CEO Matthew Laborde. The firm is leaving its original 1,600-square-foot office on Government, where the company launched two-and-a-half years ago with two employees.
“Mid City has been very good to us, and we’ll continue to do a ton of business there,” says Laborde, “but it makes sense locate a commercial real estate firm in an area with the highest concentration of commercial real estate, which is downtown.”
There won’t be another firm within a 3.5-mile radius of Elifin’s new location, Laborde says, adding they have already leased out the Mid City office to another company, which he declines to name.
The firm is moving downtown May 30.
