Locally based Cafe Brazil is finishing out its sixth spot in the DFW region, eyeing a late August or early September opening. The Brazilian coffee shop has signed a 10-year deal for 3,330 sf in the 59,438-sf Trinity Plaza in Carrollton.
The retail lease is one of three inked recently in the DFW region as well as the sale of a Rooms to Go site in Mesquite. Cafe Brazil, a 24-hour venue, is the only eatery in the 85%-occupied Trinity Plaza, located at 2510-2540 N. Josey Lane, Alan Altick, vice president of Cencor Realty Services Inc. and plaza property manager, tells GlobeSt.com.Dennis Leibovitz and Michelle Caplan, both of Dallas-based Weitzman Group's commercial retail division, handled the negotiations. Josey/Trinity Mills JV is the owner of the plaza, situated in the high-traffic area off Interstate 35.
Cafe Brazil opened its first location 10 years ago in Dallas' Lakewood area. The restaurant has been described by the dining crowd as "a chunk of Austin, with some San Francisco or Boulder, CO, thrown in for good measure."
The Staubach Co., based in Dallas, has leased a 25,070-sf spot in Mesquite to Bally's Total Fitness. Staubach senior vice presidents Brian Murphy and Adam Schiller and associate Graham Irvine represented Rooms to Go in the disposition at the Emporium III Center, located at the intersection of Town East Boulevard and Town Center Drive. Rich Kahan of Urban Retail Services and Mark Reeder, formerly with Grubb & Ellis Co.'s Dallas office, cut the deal for Bally's.
Murphy says "we were able to devise a plan that benefits both parties and reassures Room to Go's success in the Dallas area." The popular furniture retailer is eyeing west Ft.

Summer construction will bring a 25,000-sf store to North Dallas' Valley View Square as well as Lakeline Mall in Austin.
