In a move emblematic of downtown Syracuse’s ongoing “flight to quality” trend, Jacobs Civil Consultants has signed a lease for a new office in the Atrium Building. This marks a significant transition for the firm, which had previously operated from ShareCuse, a popular coworking space at 224 Harrison Street.

The decision to lease a dedicated, brand-new office reflects Jacobs Civil Consultants’ growth and commitment to providing an elevated work environment for its employees. The Atrium Building offers state-of-the-art amenities, and a prime location in Clinton Square.

A Strategic Transition

Jacobs Civil Consultants had thrived in the flexible, collaborative atmosphere of ShareCuse. However, as the company grew, so did its need for a permanent space tailored to its operational requirements. The Atrium Building offered a perfect solution: a newly renovated suite designed to inspire productivity and collaboration with a large kitchen taking about 25% of the office space.

The ‘Flight to Quality’ Trend

Jacobs Civil Consultants’ move underscores a broader trend in downtown office leasing: the “flight to quality.” As companies reassess their office needs in the wake of the pandemic, many are gravitating toward high-quality, modernized spaces that prioritize employee experience. The Atrium Building, with its blend of historical charm and contemporary upgrades, embodies this trend.
