Law Firm Inks Five-Year Pacts for 76,679 SF

ADDISON, TX-A leading law firm for mortgage servicing has re-upped and expanded its headquarters space, abandoning an 18-month search for an office building to buy. The dealmaking has bed down 76,679 sf in two neighboring locations in five-year leases with two months’ free rent.

Barrett Burke Wilson Castle Daffin & Frappier’s double deal could be the largest office lease signed to date this year in the Quorum-Belt Line submarket, says Cameron Tapley, senior vice president of the tenant advisory group in Dallas for Grubb & Ellis Co. The 400-employee firm has occupied the entire 47,140-sf class B building at 15000 Surveyor Blvd. for the past decade. Two years ago, it leased 10,839 sf across the street in the Forum at 4004 Belt Line Rd. and has now added 18,700 sf of the class B space to keep up with its growth, the broker says.

Tapley says the law firm dropped a long-time search for a building to buy about four months ago. “They had a lot of infrastructure invested in the locations. To replicate that on the technology side was pretty expensive,” he tells GlobeSt.com. “And timing was such that they were so busy they didn’t need to be in the middle of that kind of move.”
