at University Place in Downtown East Lansing
EAST LANSING – March 12, 2012 – CBRE|Martin (CBRE) is pleased to announce that Force by Design, Inc. has expanded their leased space to 7,898 square feet within University Place in downtown East Lansing. Located at the corner of Albert and M.A.C. Avenues, University Place is a mixed-use building that combines six levels of premium office and retail space.

Based in California, Force by Design opened its Midwest operations in 2011 with one person and a 900-square-foot office in East Lansing. Just over a year later, Force By Design has expanded their sales force, gained a marketing department, and begun on-site employee training.
“Our business has grown 800% in the past three years, and our Midwest branch had most definitely outgrown their small office space,” said Micaiah Filkins, co-founder of Force by Design. “The building owners and management made expanding within University place an attractive option, and one that leaves us with room to continue our planned growth.”
Professional property management and leasing services at University Place are provided by CBRE. Senior Vice President and Office Advisor Eric F. Rosekrans, CCIM, CPM represented the landlord, University Office Place Associates, LLC, in the transaction.
