Hickory Centre Running Full Speed Ahead with Leases, Construction

DALLAS-One Hickory Centre, the first of six buildings in the 850-acre Mercer Crossing project, is fully leased, with the recent signing of Aperian to a full floor of office space. The move-in is set for February.

Aperian, an Austin-based based Internet broadband and Web site hosting provider, has signed a five-year lease for 25,000 sf in the 102,000-sf One Hickory Centre. An identical sister building, Two Hickory Centre, is now 60% leased, Wayne B. Swearingen, a principal in Vector Project Services LLC, told GlobeSt.com.

The announcement comes as plans are afoot to break ground in the spring on another 102,000-sf building, Four Hickory Centre. Meanwhile, Swearingen, the project’s leasing agent, has just started courting prospective tenants for Three Hickory Centre, a 221,000-sf office building that had broken ground last month and will deliver in the fall.
