August move-ins are planned by WCI Consulting Corp., which is coming out of a home office to 15660 Dallas Parkway, and Navigation Financial Group, set to relocate within three weeks to 15770 Dallas Parkway from subleased space at 6688 N. Central Expressway. The Grubb & Ellis Co. team of Kathy Permenter and Burson Holman has proposals out on another 100,000 sf in the bid to line up tenants before Cingular's lease expires on 69,000 sf in June 2006.

"We've got really good activity. We have a pre-set agreement to take space back early, as needed," Permenter tells GlobeSt.com. The list of perks for a two-floor tenant, roughly 26,000 sf, includes a building sign fronting the Dallas North Tollway.

Simon Figg with Arledge Partners Real Estate Group in Dallas negotiated a five-year lease on behalf of WCI Consulting for a 2,069-sf office on the third floor of the 13-story Beal Bank Center II, a 171,382-sf structure with a 95.07% occupancy and Cingular in the early stages of its phased move-out. Bob Buell in the Dallas office for Washington, DC-based CarrAmerica Realty Corp. brokered a seven-year lease for Navigation Financial, which will take over 7,842 sf on the sixth floor of Beal Bank Center I, a 153,657-sf, 91%-leased building. The complex also includes the 83%-leased, 20,349-sf Beal Bank Center III at 15441 Knoll Trail Dr. The complex's quoted full-service rate is $16 per sf to $17 per sf.
