Ed Fritsch, President and CEO of Highwoods, stated, "In less than a year, our Atlanta team has done an excellent job towards re-leasing 2800 Century Center. It is now 65% leased and the continued strong interest underscores the attractiveness of our Century Center office park where we own 1.7 million square feet. We remain comfortable with our forecast of 2800 Century Center being at least 92% leased by year-end."
