The brokerage house's executive team didn't return telephonecalls by press time to comment on the move to 4851 LBJ Fwy. from3030 LBJ Fwy. Jeff Eckert, senior vice president for Jones LangLaSalle in Dallas, tells GlobeSt.com that the inbound tenant signeda six-year, stair-stepped lease with one renewal option for the10th floor of the 12-story building, strategically positioned atthe crossroads of Interstate 635 and the Dallas North Tollway.

The 187,644-sf building's location was the dealmaker, accordingto Eckert. He and other market sources say NAI Robert Lynn startedlooking in midsummer for an office location in the Galleria area,putting freeway visibility for a sign at the top of its requirementlist. In signing the deal at 4851 LBJ Fwy., NAI Robert Lynn's teamwill get about 2,000 sf of extra elbow room and an "eyebrow" signat the sixth-floor level.

"We gave them a good class A option with great visibility on oneof the busiest intersections in the city," Eckert says. Likewise,the building, which only goes by its address, will gain inprominence. "They're a great company, a great local brand name andgreat for the identity of the building," he adds. After the fieldwas narrowed to 4851 LBJ Fwy., he says negotiations went fullcircle within 45 days.
