(Jan. 13) – A global law firm will relocate its growing Dallas office to two floors in Chase Tower in the city’s central business district. The relocation comes shortly after the building’s ownership group decided to begin a major upgrade to the 55-story office tower.
The law firm, Alston & Bird LLP, has signed a lease totaling 36,081 square feet for the entire 23rd floor and part of the 22nd floor of Chase Tower at 2200 Ross Ave. in the Dallas Arts District.
Alston & Bird has a strong base of national and regional clients in Dallas, which led to the law firm needing additional space to expand its regional office, said Darren Hauck, partner-in-charge of Alston’s Dallas office.
With the new lease, Alston & Bird plans to leave 2828 Harwood St. in the Harwood District to join other law firms near the Dallas Arts District. The redevelopment along Ross Avenue has attracted office tenants looking for walkable options for employees.
Last year, Fortis Property Group acquired Chase Tower for upwards of $300 million and decided to deploy a multimillion-dollar renovation to upgrade the building and help attract tenants.
Alston & Bird plans to move more than 100 employees to Chase Tower in November 2018.
