DALLAS-Two Dallas-based companies have garnered leading awards from the Texas Association of Realtors and the Associated Builders and Contractors association.

The Morse Co.'s Scott A. Morse and Scott M. Jessen walked away with TAR's prestigious William C. Jennings Lone Star honor for 2001's outstanding commercial transaction for a North Texas corporate campus development for San Jose-based Flextronics International. The award is weighted on a transaction's contribution to the community, creativity and application of sound commercial principles and practices.

“This transaction caught our attention,” Sam Roberson, TAR senior vice president, said in a press release, “because it involved a build-to-suit, triple-net lease with a purchase option for one of the world's largest electronic equipment manufacturers.”
