Mike Tipps of the Austin office of Colliers Oxford Commercial has represented the building owner, BAE Systems. Mike Durgin of Danville, CA-based CM Realty, negotiated the renewal for Providian. The Austin call center, positioned at 6500 Tracor Lane, is on property owned by BAE Systems, a defense business based in England.
