2025 DFW Market Update & 2024 Year In Review

CLIENT SPOTLIGHT

CLIENT: Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP TYPE: New Location SIZE: 53,051 SF BUILDING: The Quad (2699 Howell St.) SUBMARKET: Uptown C&W TEAM: David Guion, Robbie Baty & Alexandra Boury TRANSACTION DETAILS: Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP is a leading global law firm that decided to open a new location in Dallas, given the market’s exceptional growth and significant legal sector presence. When Willkie engaged C&W to identify a location for their Dallas office, they emphasized the importance of being in a Class A building with strong visibility. Since this is a new location and Willkie is actively recruiting attorneys to join their team, their square footage needs fluctuated significantly, requiring the C&W team to remain agile as their requirements evolved. C&W protected Willkie’s ability to grow by negotiating for expansion rights and rights of first refusal. Ultimately, Willkie selected Uptown’s newest building, The Quad, due to its superior amenities, building signage options, and potential for growth.
