JLL represented Behar Gibbs Savage Paulson LLP in a new two-floor, 35,754-square-foot office lease at 1 WTC, a 27-story, 574,981-square-foot office building in Long Beach. The law firm currently has seven offices including Long Beach, Santa Ana, Corona, San Francisco, Sacramento and Los Gatos.

JLL managing director Mike McKeever represented Behar Gibbs in the new lease. Managing director Jason Fine represented the landlord, Greenlaw Partners/Walton Street Capital.

“The legal sector continues to be a catalyst for activating urban areas in Southern California and throughout the country,” said McKeever. “Long Beach is a well-located located centerpoint for Behar Gibbs to attract talent and facilitate commerce for the LA and Orange County regions.”
