FARMERS BRANCH, TX-Eyemart Express Ltd. has signed a long-term lease for 67,128 square feet of office and industrial space, nearly doubling its current footprint.

The retail provider of value eyewear and optical services will relocate its corporate headquarters to the 96,491-square-foot flex industrial facility located at 13800 Senlac Dr. It will also use the space for warehousing, distribution and lab operations, according to Robert Allen, marketing and leasing director for First Industrial Realty Trust Inc.'s Dallas region.

Chicago-based First Industrial owns the Senlac facility, as well as the building in which Eyemart Express currently occupies 34,000 square feet. The company will move from its existing location at 2110 Hutton Dr. during the fourth quarter, Allen says.
