DALLAS-The property is the 145,610-sf McKinney Place. The buyer is CB Richard Ellis Strategic Partners II and the seller, Trizec Properties. It's the fund's second Uptown office acquisition in 30 days.

HOUSTON-Bankruptcy court approves Intell as the buyer, but rejects a bid by Houston taxing bodies to collect their money at closing. Instead, they must notify creditors they're taking their place at the front of the line when checks are cut.

HOUSTON-Hines is partnering with Monthisa to build a 215,000-sf, seven-story office building near Madrid's downtown. Work gets under way in early 2003, with a late 2004 unveiling marked on the calendar.

HOUSTON-GlobeSt.com has been told Century Development has "upped the ante" and is well positioned to win the 1.2-million-sf Enron Center South. What started out as a five-firm face-off is down to two in a bidding war predicted to last through week's end.
