A spokesperson for Timmons Group did not answer a question about how many employees currently work in Roanoke, but did say that over the next three years, the firm hopes to have a dozen employees in the Star City.

Real estate company JLL represented the Timmons Group in leasing the office, according to the spokesperson.
