ADDISON — Cross Ocean Partners and Lincoln Property Company have acquired The Colonnade, a three-tower office campus along the Dallas North Tollway, with plans for approximately $100 million in improvements. The sale was reported November 3, marking a significant change in ownership for a property that had entered receivership. Source: Capdex, citing Newmark's sale announcement
The campus is reported at approximately 1.08 million square feet, with buildings at 15301, 15303 and 15305 North Dallas Parkway. Newmark handled the sale through the receivership process on behalf of Trigild and CWCapital, according to the report. The property sits between Belt Line and Arapaho roads in the Lower Tollway submarket. Source: Capdex
The proposed investment is the central commercial real estate issue. Ownership transfers can resolve an immediate financing problem, but a competitive leasing proposition depends on what follows: building systems, tenant improvements, amenities, operating execution and the time required to lease space. A large improvement budget makes the business plan more substantial than a simple change of landlord.
The Registry separately reported the acquisition and planned $100 million repositioning on November 3, although it used a somewhat smaller building-area figure. This article therefore treats the campus's size as approximate rather than suggesting that published measurements are identical. Source: The Registry
For neighboring owners and tenant representatives, the practical question is how the renovation program translates into available suites, asking rents and leasing incentives. The transaction alone does not demonstrate a broad office-market recovery, and the reviewed reports do not supply enough information to calculate the acquisition's investment return. It does identify a consequential recapitalization and a new source of potential competition in Addison.
