More Community Feedback:

  • “When I tell people from campus that I work in the Centergy building, it's not uncommon to see envy arise in their faces. It is with no hyperbole that I can say my experience with COLLAB in this building has spoiled me, not the stacks of bricks and mortar so much as the people, the services and the attention to detail.”

    — Don Schoner – Georgia Institute of Technology, The Institute for People and Technology

  • “I like the community that we've been able to build with our companies, other tenants, and the building staff. The location is also a huge part of my experience, with the gym, [parking deck], and [restaurants] nearby. [Not to mention,] the courtyard, which extends my workspace outside.”

    — Rashida Mickens, ATDC/GATV

  • “There’s always something going on at our building, and we don’t underestimate the value added by the attention to detail given, and the energy it takes to not only meet the needs of the tenants, but to go above and beyond to meet our expectations for quality care. I constantly sing the praises of the management group to our Vice Presidents onsite, as well as our CEO.”

    — Mindy Goodbread – Office Administrator, Georgia Electric Membership Corp.

  • “Collaborative Real Estate does an outstanding job responding to our needs quickly and ensuring our building is maintained to the highest of standards that our researchers require. Collaborative is always polite and professional, it’s a great pleasure to call them friends and colleagues.

    — Daniel Kim – Senior Facility Manager, Georgia Institute of Technology

  • “Every tenant should receive the excellent support that I have personally experienced with the Collaborative Real Estate team.

  • “Amanda Weaver and the Collaborative Real Estate building management team were incredibly supportive of our department’s efforts to celebrate and promote Occupational Therapy (OT) Month throughout April 2022. They went above and beyond to ensure that this OT Month was particularly special by creating flyers to highlight the profession and to spotlight our faculty, providing refreshments to our students, and even hosting an OT Trivia event that was open to the entire Bridgeside Point community! We are so appreciative of the support that Amanda and her team provided to make this an OT Month to remember and for the exceptional services that they provide year-round. We are grateful to be a part of the Bridgeside Point community and truly value the partnership that we have with Amanda and her team!”
