Shorenstein Acquires International Plaza II in Dallas

High-Quality Office Investment Captures Opportunity in the Growing Dallas-Fort Worth Market

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Shorenstein Investment Advisers ("Shorenstein") announced today the acquisition of International Plaza II (the "Property"), a 15-story, Class A office building in the Lower Tollway submarket of Dallas by Shorenstein Realty Investors Fourteen. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

The 388,000-square-foot Property recently underwent a significant redevelopment, including the addition of nearly 50,000 square feet of new amenity space designed to meet the needs of modern tenants. On-site amenities include a full-floor food hall, a coffee and wine bar, multiple indoor and outdoor tenant lounges and state-of-the-art fitness and conference centers. A newly constructed "Lake House" event center offers tenants unique indoor and outdoor entertainment opportunities. This differentiated amenity package has resulted in over 360,000 square feet of leasing activity since the first quarter of 2020, bringing the Property to 93% leased.

"We're excited to invest in the asset quality and cash flow profile that International Plaza II presents in a high-conviction market like Dallas," said Colby Wick, Managing Director at Shorenstein. "The Property offers a rare combination of multi-tenant diversification and over 11 years of weighted average lease term – providing a durable cash flow stream in one of the best buildings in the submarket."

International Plaza II is centrally located along the Dallas North Tollway, providing exceptional access throughout the Dallas metroplex and convenient commuting to surrounding residential communities. As Dallas has expanded outward, International Plaza II provides an equitable location that enables companies to tap a larger employee base with access to two-thirds of the metroplex within 30 minutes. 

Over the past several years, the Lower Tollway has been one of the most active leasing markets in Dallas.  The submarket continues to experience strong demand, and in 2023, it recorded the same number of leases over 20,000 square feet as the popular Uptown submarket. Top-tier buildings are commanding a disproportionate share of the leasing demand, and International Plaza II is a prime example of the flight-to-quality trend playing out across Dallas.
