HOUSTON-After more than 12 months of negotiation, Telecheck Services Inc. has signed a long-term renewal lease for 120,458 at Galleria Plaza I. The financial services company has been the lead tenant in the class A office building for more than 20 years.

With the renewal, the 217,000-square-foot office property at 5251 Westheimer Rd. is 97% occupied, according to David Baker of Transwestern. He represented the landlord, Chase Merritt Four Corners LLC, along with Kelli Crutchfield, also with Transwestern’s local office. Telecheck was represented by Scott Panzer and Steven Rotter of Jones Lang La Salle’s New York office and David Bale and Ronnie Deyo of Jones Lang La Salle’s Houston office.

“This location works for Telecheck,” Baker says. “They’ve been here long enough that it’s convenient for their employees and their clients.”
