BEDFORD, TX-Fortune 500 company, Aegon USA Inc., willrelocate the long-term care division of Transamerica Life InsuranceCo. after 20 years in the same space. The 10-year stair-steppedlease starts out with 59,285 sf and room to expand.

For one year, brokers and building owners have been chasing thedivision's headquarters deal, but the win has gone to Bank One'sformer 203,000-sf check processing and data center at 1900 L DonDodson Dr. “It was probably, if not the, highest credit circulatingin Dallas/Fort Worth in the past year,” John Amend, president ofthe Amend Group, tells GlobeSt.com. “The credit on this deal was sogolden I had people dying to make it.”

Amend, known for driving hard bargains, searched as far south asArlington, east to CentrePort Business Park and as far west as EastFort Worth. In the end, the Transamerica division of roughly 300employees will shift just two miles southeast in its exit of 2705Brown Trail. The new headquarters office will fill the top floor ofthe three-story Parkwood Plaza, a class B office building on 18.1acres that's been empty for several years.
