Jones Lang LaSalle in Dallas has secured the contract after Centex shopped the market for a new team. Harwood International of Dallas previously held the contract for 3100 McKinnon, a premier office building that reportedly was up for sale and then pulled from the market. A Harwood contact says the leasing contract was set up to be a "short-term situation." Harwood still handles the building's property management, but that too could change down the road since the firm's focus is on its owned properties, the Harwood contact says.
Malcolm Ross, regional leasing director for Jones Lang LaSalle in Dallas, tells GlobeSt.com that the strategy is to play off the synergy between Citymark and the firm's Chateau Plaza, a 99.6%-occupied building also in Dallas' Uptown neighborhood. Ross, in a press release, expressed confidence in his team's ability "to successfully lease the building," particularly in a market that he says is one of the city's healthiest. Nick Rossini, a Jones Lang LaSalle vice president, is in charge of the leasing drive. Office space is advertised at $18.50 per sf plus electric.
Ross says Centex is planning some upgrades to the class A, 11-story building. A timeframe has not been set for the improvements to the common areas. Centex, though, will be handling the work in-house.
