"We very well could have Canal Plaza filled by the end of theyear," Ben Sumner, principal with Stream Realty Partners LP inIrving, tells GlobeSt.com. The campaign on the street that'sattracted high interest is "the lights are always on"--a marketingmotto picked up from the buildings' built-in layers ofhospital-grade redundancy thanks to its former owner, FidelityInvestors LP, which reportedly was doing 10 million trades per weekfrom the location.

A Fidelity affiliate a week ago joined the rest of the group atits Westlake campus although its presence certainly didn't hindertours by corporations looking to negotiate their way into one ofthe top corporate addresses in the region, the Las Colinas UrbanCenter. Actually, an empty building of class A space on thewaterfront is just what Dallas-based Bandera Ventures Ltd. had inmind when they bought it in January. From the onset, Canal Plaza at400 E. Las Colinas Blvd. was labeled as a single-user property andWaterway Tower at 433 E. Las reserved for multi-tenant. Bothbuildings are on the market for $19.99 per sf.

"It may take a little time to fill these blocks," Sumner says,"but these blocks will become more valuable over time." Eachbuilding has one gutted floor to show off the $7 million to $10million of high-tech infrastructure designed to always keep thelights burning.
