TM Floyd & Company, an information technology consulting firm, has signed a lease for 5,373 square feet at Ayrsley, and two additional office tenants have signed five-year renewals for a combined 27,636 square feet at the mixed-use community in Steele Creek.

Headquartered in Columbia, S.C., TM Floyd delivers innovative and cost-effective IT solutions primarily to the health, property and casualty insurance industries. The firm had previously subleased approximately 3,200 square feet at Ayrsley and relocated to its new space at the Ayrsley Arcade building on Aug. 1. From the Ayrsley office, TM Floyd provides development center support for clients nationwide, and the firm plans to expand its local headcount from 20 employees to 35 employees over the next six months.

In addition to the TM Floyd lease, Regus renewed its lease for 14,645 square at the Charleston Row building, and the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity renewed its 13,000-square-foot lease for its national headquarters, also at Charleston Row.

Ayrsley’s office space is now 96 percent occupied, and earlier this year New Forum began marketing Two Silver Crescent, an 80,000-square-foot Class A office building at the intersection of Ayrsley Town Boulevard and Sessions Street.

William Hodges, vice president and broker in charge at New Forum, represented the landlord on the lease transactions. Chandler Knox with Colliers International represented TM Floyd & Company, and Ross Howard with JLL represented Regus.

Based in Charlotte, New Forum is a real estate development, management and operating firm with a portfolio that includes office, retail, hotel, medical, multifamily and senior living.
