DURHAM — The Law Offices of James Scott Farrin are filling a high-profile office in downtown Durham.
The personal injury firm announced today that it has agreed to lease about 50,000 square feet at Diamond View II, beyond the outfield of the Durham Bulls Athletic Park in the city's American Tobacco district.
The space is at least 25 percent more than what it leases at Imperial Center, off Interstate 40. The firm is expected to move out of most of its Imperial offices by the end of the year.
It's the latest in a string of companies moving from the outskirts of Durham to the city center. Last month, Burt's Bees, a maker of natural beauty products, moved from Keystone Park in Durham County to another American Tobacco building.
As part of the Farrin deal, the firm gets its name on Diamond View II, facing the hundreds of thousands of fans who visit the ballpark each year.
The 14-year lease fills the last big office vacancy at American Tobacco.
