Apr 10, 2010
Wilmington, N.C. – April 10, 2010 – Cape Fear Commercial is pleased to announce that it has successfully renewed both Woodbury & Co. and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney in their office space in Wilmington, NC.
“Both Tenants had time remaining on their respective leases, but we were able to create a win-win for both Tenant and Landlord by ‘blending and extending.’ Tenants are clearly taking advantage of the economic friendly conditions and Landlords are willing to ‘blend and extend’ thereby creating a win-win for both parties,” stated Brian Eckel, partner of Cape Fear Commercial.
Founded in 1932 by Louie E. Woodbury Jr., Woodbury & Co. provides the highest quality insurance and risk management products and services to their clients. Today, the organization has grown to over sixty outstanding professionals and is one of the largest independent agencies in North and South Carolina.
