DALLAS—Leasing activity is buzzing at The Drever, even though the architectural landmark still under construction. In the end, it will be redeveloped into a luxury high-rise combining retail, office, hotel, residential, spa and restaurants located in the core of downtown.

Plans for The Drever focus on reimagining an office building that has been vacant for several years and holds a lot of Dallas' most storied history. It will be transformed into a community-driven gathering place for living, working, shopping, visiting and relaxing. Inviting art installations are planned throughout the building to enhance the city's adjacent culturally rich arts district.

A soon-to-be approximately 40,000 square feet of retail space at the 1.5-million-square-foot tower is in the process of identifying tenants. CBRE Inc. has been appointed by owner and developer Drever CapitalManagement as the exclusive retail space leasing agent. The CBRE leasing team of Jack Gosnell, senior vice president, retail consultant and leasing broker, and Amy MacLaren, vice president, retail consultant and leasing broker, are leading the marketing group. And, Lincoln Property Company has been awarded the management and leasing of the 324 multifamily units on floors 22 to 48 of the mixed-use 52-story conversion project which is expected to be complete in spring 2018.
