Fort Worth’s Triune Centre has landed its anchor tenant. Vantage Bank Texas signed a 15,000 square foot lease at the 30,000 square foot building—the first office development of its kind in the United States to feature a fully automated valet parking tower system.
Cornerstone Projects Group, a development, architecture, and construction company, and Trident Structures, a total-solutions engineering, procurement, and construction company, are partners in development. Construction will begin in the second quarter of 2021, and the building is set to deliver in summer 2022.
Although Fort Worth has seen a slowdown in office development since 2018, trends have indicated that it is beginning to change. There are currently four office projects totaling over 365,500 square feet under construction in the metroplex west of DFW Airport, including Crescent’s new 160,000-square-foot development that was announced at the beginning of March.
“Over the past few years, Fort Worth has experienced a significant shift in the market with employers looking to provide their talented and educated workforce a dynamic work environment that offers unique amenities and innovative technology features,” said Cullen Donohue, a senior associate in the Fort Worth office of Stream Realty Partners. “Triune Centre will emerge as a natural leader in the market, and we anticipate that it will quickly attract many prominent tenants throughout Fort Worth.”
Donohue, Seth Koschak, Chris Doggett, and Vic Meyer, all with Stream, represented the landlord, and Theron Bryant with Transwestern represented Vantage Bank Texas in the transaction.
