"It's exciting to go from under 70% to over 90% in a year," saysVirginia Mulkey, a leasing director for Fort Worth-based CrescentReal Estate Equities Co. She tells GlobeSt.com that Wachovia,planning its own finish-out, immediately got the keys to its thirdexpansion in the past year while Concentra will pick up its extraroom within 90 days in the twin towers at 5080 Spectrum Dr.

Wachovia's Texas headquarters takes up floors two through five,with the latest expansion carving out 8,021 sf on the sixth levelof the east tower. The Charlotte, NC-based bank started out in61,000 sf in late December 2004, added 9,277 sf in October 2005 and25,493 sf in January. Then, Wachovia's Texas executives came backfor more. "They determined the need and we found a space for them,"she says, citing the repeat moves were blended into the original10-year pact. Webber Beall, executive vice president for LincolnHarris CSG in Dallas, and Larry Toon, senior vice president withlocally based Staubach Co. represent Wachovia. Crescent's seniorvice president Michael Lewis assisted with the negotiations.

In the west tower, Concentra added 15,973 sf of the sixth storyto its 94,760-sf bank that takes in all of floors four, five, 11and 12. The healthcare giant renewed its second 10-year lease inDecember 2005, according to Mulkey.
