Growing Strategic Media Solutions Firm Takes More Space, Extends Lease at 3 Bala Plaza East

Commercial real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield represented Harmelin Media in a recent lease expansion and extension at 3 Bala Plaza East, in Bala Cynwyd. The strategic media solutions firm now occupies more than 23,000 square feet at the property and has committed to this location through 2023.

Harmelin Media already owns three office buildings in Bala Cynwyd, but the firm’s tremendous growth spurred it to lease additional space at 3 Bala Plaza East to support its continued growth in that location. Cushman & Wakefield’s Peter Strickler, managing director based in Conshohocken, Pa., represented Harmelin Media. Tishman Speyer owns the property and was represented by the firm’s managing director Janet Giuliani.

“Working closely with Harmelin Media enabled us to gain a comprehensive understanding of the needs of this successful and growing media firm,” Strickler said. “In turn, this allowed us to identify and match them with the right location and building owner. Harmelin wanted to expand in a space where it can continue to leverage internal collaboration and use of technology, which they see as key to their continued growth.”

Harmelin Media is one of the largest full-service, independent media service companies in the country, offering media planning, buying and other activities on behalf of clients, and utilizing insights and creative communication strategies to design solutions for them.

This location is close to the Harmelin Media office complex located at 525 Righters Ferry Road, enhancing collaborative efforts on behalf of the firm’s clients. 3 Bala Plaza East also offers easy access to Philadelphia and I-76, with proximity to numerous media vendors the company services in Bala Cynwyd and the greater Philadelphia region.

“Harmelin’s business has grown dramatically over the past 18 months and we yet again found ourselves in need of additional space to manage our increased staffing requirements,” said Mary Meder, president of Harmelin Media. “We are excited to expand our presence within 3 Bala Plaza East.”
