Robert Halff Finds Room to Expand in Tight Market

AUSTIN-Robert Halff International isn’t taking any chances with the strapped Austin office market, moving from one Equity Office Properties Trust building into another and signing a five-year lease to seal the deal.

Halff, a specialty temporary staffing agency, is occupying 9,708 sf in the 21-story, 400,000-sf San Jacinto Center. Halff had been officing in 2,755 sf right across the street at One Congress Plaza, a 30-story, 517,849-sf structure.

Mark Miller, Equity’s leasing director, says Halff had plans to expand its Austin operations, but had been unable to secure extra space at One Congress Plaza. “And there was no room for their growth.
