This Week's Dallas-Fort Worth Deal Sheet
Bradford Cos. plans to invest $9.6M renovating a partially vacant office building it acquired in Far North Dallas.
Bent Tree Green, a 140K SF, three-story property at 17300 North Dallas Parkway, was 60% leased at the time of sale. The purchase effectively closes out the firm’s third opportunity fund, according to a news release.
“Our reputation for closing deals made us stand out in the best-and-final round,” Bradford President and CEO Kevin Santaularia said in a statement. “Bent Tree Green offered the type of opportunity we continually seek in terms of acquisition basis and value-add creation through modernization, management and leasing.”
Richmond Collinsworth, senior vice president and managing partner at Bradford, represented the buyer of record, Bradford BTG Partners. JLL marketed the asset on behalf of its longtime owner, Silver Star Properties of Houston.

CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT
The city of Arlington approved Trademark Property Co.’s request to rezone Lincoln Square, a 45-acre shopping center at the southwest corner of Collins Street and Interstate 30. The decision paves the way for Trademark to redevelop the center into Anthem, a mixed-use development that includes office, retail, hotel, entertainment and residential. The firm anticipates that 229K SF of the existing center will be demolished, 243K SF of legacy space will remain and 65K SF will undergo renovations. Demolition is slated to begin in the second quarter of 2025.
