| The Class A office space (at the intersection of Highway 114 and Rochelle Drive) and a 3.2-acre tract of land adjacent to the property were part of the deal. The asset has historically been single-tenant, but is undergoing extensive renovations (rumors tag it at more than $4M) including the complete replacement of all mechanical components. Peloton Commercial Real Estate will be the leasing firm and partner T.D. Briggs says Las Colinas is seeing a dramatic increase in leasing activity. With the improvements, the property should be positioned to “out-perform the market.†|
