In November 2011 Lowe’s Companies, Inc. (Lowe’s) signed a 10 year lease for 65,000 square feet in Albuquerque, New Mexico. REA, in cooperation with Cushman & Wakefield, represented Lowe’s in this transaction. Lowe’s started its search with 32 different cities; when Albuquerque was named on the short list of cities in the running REA not only worked on identifying an appropriate location but also providing pertinent information to Lowe’s and securing economic incentives to aid in their decision to move to Albuquerque. Lowe’s move to Albuquerque will result in over 600 new jobs.
