Renewable energy producer JTEC Energy Inc. is expanding its headquarters at Lee + White in Atlanta’s West End.

The move adds 9,800 square feet to its existing 18,775 square feet of space in Building 1050, adding lab space and allowing on-site assembly, “significantly increasing progress toward commercialization of the revolutionary JTEC cleantech energy device,” according to a news release.

JTEC is a green renewable energy company that creates energy by transforming heat directly into electricity. Lonnie Johnson launched the company in 2020.

The start-up moved its headquarters to Lee + White in mid-2023.

“Over the past year we have seen the Lee + White complex flourish with new restaurants, businesses and entertainment. We are excited to be growing along with the community,” CEO Mike McQuary said in a news release. “As we had hoped, this location is a great tool in helping us attract the best and brightest talent to come work with us at JTEC Energy.”

Porter Henritze and Melanie Garlock and Cushman andamp; Wakefield completed the lease expansion for JTEC on behalf of owners Ackerman andamp; Co. and MDH Partners. Cori Nuttall and Willie Candler of Lee andamp; Associates represented JTEC.

Along with breweries, restaurants and retailers, Lee + White is also home to nanotechnology company Carbice, motorcycle manufacturer Triumph Motorcycles, a neighborhood health center for Grady Health System, and KIPP Metro Atlanta School.
