The suites are complete with glass door entries and kitchens and are ready for immediate occupancy.

This property provides tenants the best value of any office building in the Central Business District. The building is located in the heart of downtown between Pacific Avenue and Elm Street directly across from Thanksgiving Square, which was designed by Phillip Johnson. Thanksgiving Tower has a unique combination of landmark presence and classic design on an exceptionally well-located site.

According to John Cook, Vice President of Asset Management for Younan Properties in Texas, GVA Cawley brings a specific expertise to this landmark downtown property. "We have been impressed with the experience that GVA Cawley has demonstrated in the CBD and they are off to a strong start already."

The Club provides an exquisite dining and entertaining environment with spectacular views of the Dallas skyline. Tenants enjoy structured parking directly below the building and access to the downtown tunnel system providing easy access to additional retail services. The flagship store of Neiman Marcus is just around the corner along with restaurants and hotels such as The Joule, The Magnolia and The Adolphus that are all within a short walking distance.

Mike Pierre, Director at GVA Cawley has been appointed the main contact for this leasing assignment.
