KBS Signs Over 14,000 Square Feet in Leases with Lion Street at 515 Congress in Austin

  • September 27, 2018
AUSTIN, Texas (Sept. 27, 2018) – KBS, based in Newport Beach, California, announced today the signing of 14,068 square feet in leases at 515 Congress in Austin, Texas. Lion Street, a leading financial services company, renewed nearly 11,000 square feet and leased an additional 3,000 square feet. The office property is part of the KBS Real Estate Investment Trust III portfolio.

The building is a 26-story Class A office tower with over
263,000 square feet of rentable space. The property offers unobstructed views
of the State Capitol, Congress Avenue and Lady Bird Lake, and access to 12,000
square feet of street-level retail. Tenants benefit from onsite amenities
including a private fitness and training center with showers and lockers,
coffee bar, restaurants and more.

Located in downtown Austin, 515 Congress is a short walk to
waterfront views at the Colorado River. The property’s central location offers
easy access to many historic landmarks, including Austin’s Historic Center and
Public Library, the Texas State Capitol Building and Texas Governor’s Mansion.
Tenants at the property are also in close proximity to multiple dining options
such as Eddie V’s Prime Seafood and The Capital Grille.

“Longstanding tenants like Lion Street continue to enjoy the
dynamic and historic area,” said Giovanni Cordoves, senior vice president for
KBS and asset manager for the property. “The floor-to-ceiling windows and views
of the downtown skyline make 515 Congress a highly desirable place to office in
downtown Austin.”

Stream Realty represented KBS in the transaction.
