The Bank One Center at 1301 S. Bowen Rd. in Arlington has held a100% occupancy for three consecutive years. Kurt Cherry in theDallas office for Houston-based PM Realty Group tells GlobeSt.comthat talks began with the building owner looking for a rent hikeand offering some tenant improvements to go with it. "At the end ofthe day, we agreed to leave the rate basically the same. We did geta slight uptick," he says of a straight-up renewal with the officespace remaining as is. Aaron Emerson with Scribcor Texas ofAmarillo handled talks for the agency.

The 112,114-sf building will get its first large opening inOctober when RSI Insurance Co. heads into 10,000 sf at CopelandTower in Arlington after being unable to get expansion space inBank One Center, Cherry says. Right now, there's just 919 sfsitting empty. Best Fares USA/Discount Travel Network, an Internetdiscounter, got first dibs on the soon-to-be-vacated 6,100 sf, partof the pact two months ago when it re-upped a 14,824-sfheadquarters lease.
