UPDATED — Cohlmia Marketing is moving from one historic building to another.
The marketing-communication firm has been in the Yellow Cab building in Old Town for a decade.
It’s moving to the Travel Air Building at 535 W. Douglas in Delano.
“It’s a wonderful opportunity to have some Douglas street exposure,” says president Carol Skaff.
That’s partly why she’s moving.
“We’re kind of off the beaten path here,” she says of her location on Mosley Street between First and Second streets.
That’s the same building where Egg Cetera is.
“It really is a wonderful location,” Skaff says. “We have really enjoyed Old Town.”
When the office opened there, there was no Old Town Square.
“The energy has been building,” Skaff says. “It’s been really fun to be part of that.
“At this time, the energy of Delano is really starting to, I guess, percolate,” she says. “They’ve just been doing so many interesting developments, and it has an interesting creative vibe, and that was attractive to us.”
Her new office will be more than 2,300 square feet, which is larger than her current 1,750 square feet.
“So that was another thing,” Skaff says. “We’re a little bit running out of space here.”
She has four employees.
Skaff expects her new space to be ready in the middle of the year.
Chad Stafford, president of Occidental Management, which owns the Travel Air Building, handled the deal.
Spangenberg Phillips Tice Architecture is the architect for the project, and Sauerwein Construction is the contractor.
In Delano, Skaff says her agency can still be part of downtown.
“We love downtown and knew we needed to be in the city’s core.”
