In February 2002, Vincent Mele & Associates assisted The Cornerstone Group in their expansion of 8,900 sq. ft. in the 2121 Ponce De Leon building. A building, which included a favorable lease rate and a parking complement substantially above building standard. This building far exceeded the company's objectives, thanks to Vincent Mele & Associates.

In 2002, The Cornerstone Group desired to expand and renew the space to its current configuration of 19,122 sq. ft. The challenge for Vincent Mele & Associates was to maintain the client's budget while accommodating the disproportionate share of parking required. The Cornerstone Group was able to meet its goals after extensive negotiations and discussions with representatives of the existing building.
