The Atlanta-based soft drink giant's plan for Dallas is to sella 236,000-sf facility at 6011 Lemmon Ave., a 12-acre property withoffice buildings, bottling plant and distribution center, andvacate 25,000 sf in the Galleria North Tower II at 13727 Noel Rd. ANov. 1 move-in is penciled for Centura Tower at 14185 DallasParkway.

Coca-Cola is getting shell space in a four-year-old buildingthat's been on a "slow, long road to recovery" as the office marketfinally makes headway, says Scott Porter, asset manager forTranscontinental Realty Inc. of Dallas. The 412,526-sf, 15-storybuilding was 65% leased until Coca-Cola signed the final documentto bump the bottom line to 95% and push this year's totaldeal-making to 150,000 sf. In another new deal for Centura, the NewYork City-headquartered Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. will move from3811 Turtle Creek in Uptown into a 3,500-sf office, signing a10-year lease just like Coca-Cola. That move will take place in 30to 60 days, Porter says.

Porter tells GlobeSt.com that Coca-Cola's final contract cameclose to the $23 per sf plus electric quoted rent, but brought morethan the usual $20 per sf finish-out allowance. "We gave them ahigher finish-out and concessions," he says of an agreement thatputs the corporation's name on the parking garage and a monumentsign in front. The building's lead tenant until now, Publicis with103,000 sf, holds exclusive naming rights on the building.
