Veritas Advisory Group Inc. has put its name on the doorplate at Thanksgiving Tower, a 1.4- million-sf, 50-story building at 1601 Elm St. Arthur W. Green II, managing director with the Dallas office of New York City-based Julien J. Studley Inc., represented the firm. Jon Altschuler, vice president of Stream Realty Partners in Dallas, negotiated on behalf of the building owner, MSDW Thanksgiving Tower Partners LLP.
Green tells GlobeSt.com that Veritas' principals looked at other CBD office product, but considered Thanksgiving Tower the first choice since that is where they had their offices before striking out on their own. And, he adds, "the landlord was accommodating with favorable and flexible lease terms." He's not going into detail, but did say all parties were happy with the outcome. Equally as important, it's positive absorption for the CBD, he points out. Veritas specializes in dispute resolution, litigation support and expert witness testimony.
The Awalt Building, a renovated historic property, at 208 N. Market St. has won the nod from Edwards & George, a Houston law firm that went from executive suite space at 8080 Central Expressway to a 3,669-sf office to get the room it needs to add attorneys for a Dallas expansion.
The partners in charge of Dallas looked at a dozen buildings, says Bo Estes of Grubb & Ellis Co. The search lasted a couple months, with the early 1900s building claiming the lease with its West End address and interior makeover. B.G. Avery & Sons Ltd., the building owner, used in-house representative, Reed Berry, to bargain its side of the contract.
