HFF Moving its Dallas Office to Victory Park - Real Points - D Magazine

One Victory Park

Holliday Fenoglio Fowler LP is leaving its longtime North Central Expressway digs and moving to Victory Park. The real estate investment banking firm has leased 32,000 square feet in One Victory Park, a 19-story, 436,000-square-foot tower owned by Hines and UST Victory Park, a German Real Estate Investment Fund managed by Estein and Associates.

HFF will take occupancy on the 12th floor next September. About 105 employees will relocate from the company?s current space in One Lincoln Park.

The deal takes One Victory Park to 94 percent leased. Other tenants in the building, located at 2323 Victory Ave., include Haynes & Boone, Ernst & Young, and Plains Capital Bank.

Lance Fair, vice president of Victory Park, said HFF?s commitment ?further validates the strength of the Victory Park District and the attractiveness of the Uptown area to a growing number of office tenants.?

Jon McNeil and Matt Craft of Jones Lang LaSalle represented HFF in its search. Bill Brokaw and Mark Dickenson of Cushman & Wakefield represented the property owners in lease negotiations.

?HFF was looking for a space that would allow them to consolidate their employees onto one floor and would provide first-rate access and amenities for both their employees and clients,? Brokaw said in a statement.
