(June 5) – Norton Rose Fulbright recently announced it has signed a new lease for its Dallas office at Chase Tower in the Arts District. The firm will move from its current space to a build-out of 117,000 square feet of high-rise space at the top of the tower.
CBRE represented the firm in the transaction, which is expected to be one of the biggest lease agreements of the year, according to a statement issued by Norton Rose Fulbright. The firm has called Chase Tower home since 1988, one year after it was completed.
“The central location and ease of access makes this signature building the best choice for our clients, lawyers and personnel,” Richard Krumholz, the firm’s partner-in-charge of the Dallas office, said in the statement. “Most importantly, the new lease provides the efficiency and growth opportunities required to serve our clients for many years to come.”
The new office space is expected to be roughly 20,000 square feet smaller than the firm’s current digs on the 25th through 29th floors. Heath Johnson, managing director of building owner Hines REIT, said in the statement the lease will coincide with major renovations to the building lobby, sky lobby and build-out of a high-end workout facility.
