August Real Estate is building up its East Dallas portfolio with the recent purchase of Lakewood Tower on Gaston Avenue. Previously, the family-run real estate firm redeveloped Deep Ellum’s landmark Cotton Gin Building and 333 1st Avenue near Fair Park.
Already 90 percent leased, the Lakewood office building is nine stories and 120,000 square feet. It is home to companies such as Wells Fargo, Briggs Freeman, and Baylor Scott & White.
“As Dallas natives with a local investment strategy, we’re committed to the improvement and longevity of Lakewood and East Dallas more broadly,” said Evan August, August Real Estate Co. co-founder. “Lakewood Tower is an excellent opportunity to expand our portfolio while contributing to the area’s growth through thoughtful building improvements over time.”
The firm plans to expand amenity offerings and elevate the finishes at the building.
August Real Estate Co. purchased Lakewood Tower from a partnership controlled by Caddo Holdings. A Caddo affiliate will retain ownership of the adjacent four-story building, which is the newest location for the Caddo Office Reimagined brand, a flexible workspace concept focusing on private office suites.
Goodwin Advisors’ Evan Stone represented Caddo Holdings in the sale. Veritex Bank will provide the acquisition financing for August Real Estate Co. sourced by Adam Mengacci with Hamilton Realty Finance.
