A law firm inked a two-story office lease near downtown Dallas recently.

McGuireWoods signed a lease at the Link at Uptown, 2601 Olive Street, from Kaizen Development Partners.

The Dallas office of the international law firm will take 33,300 square feet of the 21st and 22nd floors of the Class AA office tower that sits at the edge of Victory Park. The financial terms of the lease were not disclosed.

JLL’s Blake Shipley and Dallas-based Thirty-Four Commercial’s Sarah Kennington and Bryce Jackson represented the landlord, Allen-based Kaizen.

The law firm is moving less than half a mile away, from its current location at 2000 McKinney Avenue.

This deal now makes the Link at Uptown 96 percent leased.

McGuireWoods is a 188-year-old full-service law firm founded in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Uptown is one of the most active office submarkets in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro, having quickly developed its inventory over the past 20 years and continuing to trend big on office development overall.

Victory Park is also a well-positioned office market and is set to house Goldman Sachs’ $500 million office complex.

The Link at Uptown has two ground-floor restaurants, overnight executive suites and an amenity floor with an outdoor terrace that offers views of the city. It has easy access to the Dallas North Tollway.

“This new lease reinforces the demand in Dallas for the highest-quality spaces as tenants continue to reassess their office footprint,” said JLL’s Shipley.
