Greenberg Traurig LLP plans to depart its sky-high downtown Dallas office for new digs down the street in Uptown.
The New York-based law firm has signed a lease for 49,402 square feet in the McKinney & Olive high-rise. That will keep the building virtually completely leased once another major law firm departs in the coming years. Greenberg Traurig currently offices in the 55-story Dallas Arts Tower on Ross Avenue, formerly known as Chase Tower and the fourth-tallest building in the city. As of 2018, GT was leasing around 43,000 square feet in the downtown building.
The lease at McKinney & Olive is a win for building owners Granite Properties Inc. and Highwoods Properties Inc., which acquired the 20-story tower in 2022. And it adds to the stream of companies leaving downtown for shiny, new buildings just up the street in Uptown — a financial hub that’s evolving to become a more dynamic destination for companies from all sorts of industries.
