(HOUSTON) — Hines, the international real estate firm, today announced the closing on the sale of Chase Tower in Dallas to Fortis Property Group. Hines was advised by HFF on the transaction.
The 55-story, Class A office tower is located at 2200 Ross Avenue in Dallas' Arts District/Midtown area. The 1,253,615-square-foot tower was designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and was completed in 1987. The tower’s unique architecture stands out on the Dallas skyline with its signature, curved glass top and a seven-story keyhole near the top.
“We are thrilled to add this signature building to our Dallas portfolio,” said Fortis Property Group CEO, Jonathan Landau. “Hines did a terrific job updating this trophy asset and we have plans to further upgrade Chase Tower in a manner that will position it on par with the newer Class A Uptown office properties.”
Hines Senior Managing Director Rob Witte commented, “Hines has enjoyed its involvement with this iconic property in the Dallas CBD, and we look forward to committing more capital to the Dallas/Fort Worth area. We continue to search for other investment opportunities in the area, including Victory Center, our 455,000-square-foot office tower which is ready to break ground.”
