DALLAS, TX - Officials with PM Realty Group (PMRG), a national, full-service commercial real estate firm, today announced that the firm has been awarded the leasing assignment for KPMG Centre in Dallas by Younan Properties.
Located at 717 N. Harwood St. in Dallas’ Central Business District, KPMG Centre encompasses 828,314 square feet. This 34-story, Class A office building is centrally located near Ross Avenue and is connected to a 24 Hour Fitness Super Sport. Within one block of a DART rail station, the building is also in close proximity to many downtown amenities such as Victory Park and the Arts District.
“KPMG Centre is an iconic, Class A building located in the Arts District / Ross Avenue sector of Dallas’ Central Business District,” said Nathan R. Durham, PMRG’s senior vice president of leasing. “The building offers commanding views of The Nasher Sculpture Garden, Dallas Museum of Art, Uptown Dallas, the future Woodall Rodgers Park and the Arts District. Tenants will enjoy the vibrant building locale and numerous walking distance amenities including direct access to a health club and floor-to-ceiling views for their employees and clients.”
KPMG Centre is 85 percent leased. Primary tenants include KPMG, law firms, healthcare, financial and insurance brokerage companies. Built in 1980, the building underwent a renovation in 2006, including several enhancements to the lobby and common areas, and the addition of spec suites.
The property is owned and operated by Younan Properties. Acquiring more than 12 million square feet of well-located Class A office space valued at more than $2 billion in less than five years, the company has become the largest office building owner in Dallas, and one of the largest owners and managers in Texas.
“We currently lease 17 buildings totaling 1,173,966 rentable square feet in Houston and we are very excited to be expanding our relationship with Zaya Younan, chairman and CEO, John Cook, vice president of Asset Management for Younan in Texas and his professional team of real estate experts in Dallas,” said Wade Bowlin, PMRG’s executive vice president. “Dallas’ Central Business District is poised for a strong future with the improved accessibility and the DART expansion, and we plan to be the leader in increasing the absorption rate.” PMRG’s Nathan Durham, senior vice president of leasing; Travis Ewert, leasing manager; and Lauren Bentley, leasing assistant, are responsible for the leasing and marketing of the property. |
