Agency Leasing Team Inks 145,000 SF of Leases from November 2019 to Present
February 26, 2020
DaLLAS – Champion Partners and Transwestern Commercial Services (TCS) today announced they have secured three leases totaling 145,000 square feet at The APEX, a 186,245-square-foot, Class A office building at 3033 W. President George Bush in Plano, Texas. Transwestern Senior Vice President Nathan Durham and Managing Director Duane Henley provided office leasing services on behalf of the building owner, Champion Partners.
Paragon Healthcare is the largest of these new tenants, leasing nearly 70,000 square feet in December. Brad Struck and Roy Reis at ESRP represented Paragon. This past week, Australian technology firm Appen Inc. leased more than 50,000 square feet, represented by Clay Vaughn and Preston Lynn at CBRE. Additionally, a major Samsung division leased nearly 25,000 square feet in November, represented by Scott Hobbs and his team at Cushman & Wakefield.
“Leasing momentum really picked up after we completed extensive renovations last summer, including a tenant lounge, outdoor patio, fitness center, conference center and café,” said Steve Modory of Champion Partners. “Nathan and Duane at Transwestern did a great job in getting these three significant leases over the goal line.”
The APEX is a LEED Gold certified building offering a premier location in North Dallas that provides businesses access to a highly skilled and educated labor pool. Approximately 30 miles from the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, Plano has attracted some of the world’s largest corporations. With these leases in place, the APEX still offers between 5,000 square feet and 30,000 square feet of available space to prospective tenants, which can be viewed at www.apex3033.com.
