DALLAS, TX, US, April 13, 2021 /EINPresswire.com / -- Crescent Real Estate LLC (Crescent) announces recent attraction, retention, and expansion of customers with six new lease deals and five renewals and expansions in The Crescent®.

Crescent, which has leased The Crescent since 1994 and understands the property's advantages, had been actively recruiting new customers and renewing existing customers while Crescent was negotiating the acquisition of the unique 1.3 million-square-foot luxury office mixed-use development. Recognizing that Dallas has been coming out of COVID-19 lock-downs and North Texas has been emerging as a hotbed of interest for corporate relocations, Crescent aggressively negotiated lease deals.
'As an investment, development, and property management company, Crescent has seen a lot of interest in the Dallas market,' said Tony Click, Vice President Leasing for Crescent.

Click acknowledged the unprecedented relocation activity in Dallas and stated that Texas has become a hot spot for companies looking to relocate their operations.
'Dallas, as a part of the Texas Triangle with Austin as one real estate expert calls it, is one of the hottest markets in the U.S. The Crescent sits at the apex of the Texas Triangle as one of the best assets in Texas,' Click said. 'We hear from, and we are talking with several companies looking to relocate to the Dallas Fort Worth metro area.'
A new CBRE survey of commercial real estate investors ranks Austin first and Dallas second among U.S. metro areas for investment prospects in 2021. Commercial real estate investors who sat on the sidelines during 2020 appear poised to re-enter the market. Dallas and Austin are prime locations as the U.S. emerges from COVID-19 restrictions that slowed the economy. Fewer job losses projected steady economic growth, and relatively low-cost markets with developed suburbs are viewed as necessary measures of investment markets post-pandemic, according to the CBRE Americas Investor Intentions Survey published March 18.
Click feels Dallas and The Crescent match metrics referenced in the CBRE survey with essential professional services not experiencing much impact from COVID-19 as other industries. 'A high percentage of The Crescent customers are from financial, legal, and professional services, providing The Crescent with the highest quality collection of customers in the state,' Click said.
'It is very gratifying to retain satisfied customers through lease renewals. We are pleased to offer a premier asset surrounded by desired amenities in a preferred location,' said Click.
