Over the past 20 years Wehrenberg Theatres has developed a working partnership with VERVE based on mutual trust. In addition to the professional architecture services they have provided for our theater construction projects, they are now supporting us in our efforts to market and lease vacancies in one of our retail centers. It has been our recent experience in using VERVE for as-built verification, preliminary code and zoning analysis, preliminary space planning, bit documents and lease exhibits preparation that they provide an invaluable service in successfully marketing our available retail space.

VERVE develops documentation and brings professionalism to the lease negotiations that are critical in setting our locations apart from the other available properties in the market. Their quick grasp and understanding of a potential tenant’s business model and space needs, allows them to prepare quick and accurate space plans assisting in visualizing the future tenant build out.
