The local firm recently was acquired by an investment capitalgroup from Fort Worth that has a penchant for underwritingvalue-add companies. "That's what facilitated the move for them,"John Gorman, principal of Holt Lunsford Commercial in Dallas, tellsGlobeSt.com about the new tenant for Turnpike 22 at 4030 La ReunionBlvd.

Gorman says the stair-stepped lease for the single-tenantbuilding was four months in the making. The quoted rate was $3.50per sf. "We did a good economic deal," he says, adding "there's alittle room for growth" due to future bumps.

The Finial Co., a curtain rod maker, will use Turnpike 22 forlight manufacturing and distribution. Gorman says the structure's6,000-sf office is being upgraded while a 1,000-sf office is beingconverted into a break room. Robert Droke, an independent brokerfrom Dallas, represented the inbound tenant, who is moving from8939 Directors Row.
