DALLAS-Denver-based Qwest Communications and Sphera Optical Networks Inc., headquartered in New York City, have signed 10-year leases at the one-million-sf Dallas ComCenter @ One Main Place.

Dallas ComCenter, a CBD telecom hotel, will now house 14 fiber-optic telecommunications tenants plus four more providers that deliver high-tech access to the 32-year-old building that has been converted into a Downtown high-tech hub. The contracts are a boon to Dallas ComCenter, Tom Ligon, the structure’s Grubb & Ellis Co. leasing director, tells GlobeSt.com. “More telecommunications companies are looking for maximum connectivity. That’s why we’re bringing these leases to the forefront,” he explains. “It’s important to others to know they’re in the building.”

The long-range plan for the 85%-leased ComCenter is to ultimately have 25% of its tenant base hail from the telecommunications industry. Ligon says the center has the greatest amount of available space for telecommunications companies in the Downtown CBD. Dallas is ranked sixth nationwide for telecom centers and 11th worldwide.
