Thomas O. Pearson and Lizzy Pappachen, both of Cushman & Wakefield of Texas Inc.'s Dallas office, represented the tenant in the deal for 4646 Bronze Way. Craig Jones and James Svidren, both of the Robert Lynn Co. in Dallas, handled talks for the building owner, Morstan Bronze LP, a locally based group.

Pearson tells GlobeSt.com that Arlington Manufacturing has bought a bankrupt company and needs more space to accommodate three sites being vacated along Arkansas Lane in Arlington. "Any time a new company goes to South Dallas, it's news," he says of the economically depressed part of town that has been jockeying for its fair share of the Dallas good times for quite awhile.

The Bronze Way structure, which totals about 88,000 sf, is a 1970s product situated in an area with a strong labor pool and an Enterprise Zone. The new tenant also was taken with the large electrical capacity, a left-over from prior tenants that included a web printing operation and Siemens Corp. Pearson said South Dallas was one of 12 locations shown to Arlington Manufacturing before the final decision was made.
