**Behar Gibbs Expands SoCal Footprint with Long Beach Office Lease**
Behar Gibbs Savage Paulson LLP has secured a new two-floor, 35,754-square-foot office lease at 1 World Trade Center, a 27-story, 574,981-square-foot office tower in Long Beach, California. The firm, which currently operates seven offices—located in Long Beach, Santa Ana, Corona, San Francisco, Sacramento, and Los Gatos—continues to strengthen its regional presence.
“The law firm, and its predecessor, has occupied the top two floors of the World Trade Center for the last 35 years and considers it one of the most prestigious locations in Long Beach,” said Jeff Behar, founding partner of Behar Gibbs and its predecessor law firm.
JLL Managing Director Mike McKeever represented Behar Gibbs in the lease transaction. On the landlord side, Managing Director Jason Fine represented Greenlaw Partners and Walton Street Capital.
“The legal sector continues to be a catalyst for activating urban areas in Southern California and throughout the country,” said McKeever. “Long Beach is a well-located centerpoint for Behar Gibbs to attract talent and facilitate commerce for the LA and Orange County regions.”
