KBS Signs Over 40,000 Square Feet in Leasing with JP Morgan Chase at Preston Commons

  • February 26, 2019
DALLAS (Feb. 26, 2019) – KBS, based in Newport Beach, California, announced today the signing of 41,906 square feet in renewal leases with JP Morgan Chase Bank at Preston Commons in Dallas. The property is owned by KBS Real Estate Investment Trust III.

 “We are extremely
pleased to renew Chase Bank. They’ve been a tenant in this project going back
decades and their continued occupancy speaks volumes about the attractiveness
and locational attributes of Preston Commons,” said Rodney Richerson, regional
vice president for KBS. “KBS is in the final design phase of a $15 million
renovation of the project that will include complete lobby renovations, fitness
center, large conference facilities and significant outdoor amenity space. We
believe these changes will help keep Preston Center as one of the top office
addresses in the sub-market.”

Preston Commons, a three-building, Class A office park is comprised
of a bank building and two towers, totaling 427,799 square feet of rentable
space. The property is a recipient of the 2015 Office Building of the Year
award in the Renovated Building category from the Building Owners and Managers
Association. In addition to carrying an investment-grade tenant list, two of
the buildings are also LEED-EB certified for their environmental
sustainability. Onsite amenities at the property include an outdoor patio,
fitness center and an upscale bar and grill.

Located between Dallas North Tollway and Highway 75, Preston
Commons is at the heart of the Preston Center submarket. The property is in
close proximity to both DFW and Dallas Love Field airports, providing tenants
easy accessibility. The Preston Center submarket is considered a leader for
occupancy and rental rates in Dallas. The property’s location is also near some
of Dallas’ most prestigious residential neighborhoods, offering a variety of
high-end shopping and dining experiences at locally-owned boutiques and luxury
shops nearby.

Dallas-Fort Worth continues to remain a stable office
market. According to Cushman & Wakefield’s Dallas/Fort Worth office Q4 2018
report, major submarkets in the region saw occupancy growth. Cushman &
Wakefield predicts deal activity will remain strong.

“Preston Commons is a key property in the KBS REIT III
portfolio due to its prime location in the Preston Center submarket,” said
Brett Merz, senior vice president for KBS and asset manager for the property.
“The property offers tenants easy accessibility to one of the most sought-after
business hubs in the Dallas area.”

Russell Cosby and Torrey Littlejohn of JLL represented JP
Morgan Chase Bank in the transaction.

This release may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended including statements relating to KBS REIT III’s ability to invest in and manage a diverse portfolio, and the performance of Preston Commons and of the Dallas real estate market. These statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause KBS REIT III’s and/or Preston Commons’ actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
