According to Stiles Realty director of leasing, Madelayne Garcia, who represented the landlord, Emerson will expand by 9,500 square feet, where it already has 18,000 square feet at Stiles’ Lake Shore Plaza II office building.

Emerson said it will invest $400,000 to renovate the newly leased space and create about 20 new jobs. The renovation will be designed by Stiles Architectural Group and managed by Stiles Tenant Improvement Services.
