The largest deal in the trio puts AlixPartners LLC into 25,846 sf at 2100 McKinney, a downtown high-rise that reportedly is nearing a closing date with a New York City buyer for its first Dallas acquisition. AlixPartners will occupy class A space once held by Ernst & Young US LLP.
The high-rise is 90.7% occupied and is quoting $28 per sf as its annual average asking rate, according to a Grubb & Ellis press release. Trammell Crow Co. manages the asset for building owners, the Crow Holdings and Westbrook.
The Grubb & Ellis team of associates Steven Schneider and Jeff Price negotiated the pact for AlixPartners. The Ernst & Young space was brokered by a Trammell Crow team consisting of Phil Puckett, Anthony Fritsche and Matt Nickels.
In nearby Addison, Modular Computing Systems stayed put in 7,482 sf at Intec Center at 3440 Sojourn Dr. after a six-month search and narrowing the field of sites to three. Not only did the "space work for them," Kevin S. McGovern, managing director of Insignia/ESG, tells GlobeSt.com, but it came with "a deal they couldn't refuse." Tenant improvement dollars and reconfiguration of the office area sweetened the deal for a long-term signing, he confides. McGovern and the John Dryden Co., the building owner, negotiated for four months before sitting down to sign.
In Las Colinas, the Towers at Williams Square secured a 6,440-sf tenant. Trans Union LLC is taking a 12th-floor office in the 5215 N. O'Connor Blvd. building. Melissa Medina-Katz of the Dallas office for Cushman & Wakefield of Texas Inc. represented the tenant while Mark Dickenson, senior vice president of Cousins Properties, negotiated on behalf of building owner, New York City-based TIAA Realty Inc.
