DALLAS – April 11, 2023 – Granite Properties, a commercial real estate investment, development, and management company, today announced the opening of Granite Place II at Southlake Town Square in Southlake, TX, a highly desired suburb of Dallas-Fort Worth. The Class-A, 5-story, 143,500 square feet office building is steps from upscale shops, restaurants and entertainment at Southlake Town Square, an open-air shopping district. The building is the second phase of Granite’s Southlake Town Square development and adjacent to Granite Place I, which is 98 percent leased.

Granite Place II signed two leases, pre-opening, and is 18 percent leased. As previously announced, equity investment company, N5B Capital, is Granite’s equity partner for the building. The firm is also leasing 12,000 square feet for their headquarters and will bring 20+ employees to the building over time. N5B Capital was represented by Josh White and Ryan Buchanan of CBRE. Granite has also leased 13,000 square feet on the ground floor to another customer.

“The vision for Southlake has always included new, high-quality office buildings, such as Granite Place II at Southlake Town Square,” said Southlake Mayor John Huffman. “Attracting top talent and businesses like N5B Capital to Southlake underlines our long-standing commitment to recruiting and retaining businesses that help our City thrive and fuel our economic growth,” he added.
