RICHARDSON, TX-Ericsson has signed two leases for roughly 260,000 square feet at the former Nortel campus in the Telecom Corridor, bringing its total occupancy to 460,000 square feet at the project.

Located at 2201-2221 Lakeside Blvd., the campus is comprised of roughly 800,000 square feet in a 16-story office building and a research and development facility. Dallas-based Pillar Commercial acquired the 17.5-acre campus for $43.l million earlier this month.

The two Ericsson deals include a renewal of the company’s current 200,000 square feet in the campus’ low-rise research and development building, as well as an additional 60,000 square feet, bringing its total in that complex to 260,000 square feet. In addition, Ericsson signed a new lease to occupy 200,000 square feet in the campus’s main tower. Currently, Ericsson houses approximately 1,100 employees at this location, and the additional space will give the telecommunications giant the capacity for 1,400 more people.
