Global real estate services firm Newmark has arranged the long-term leasing of 14,463 square feet for Century Payments at Hall Office Park in Frisco, Texas, allowing the growing company to expand its offices by nearly 6,000 square feet.
Clay Vaughn and Jeffrey D. Eiting of Newmark’s Dallas office brokered the transaction amid very tight market conditions that currently prevail in the Frisco and Plano area.
The additional office space for Century Payments at the 2601 Network Boulevard address in Frisco was secured on a single floor. A second tenant was relocated so that Century could expand into space contiguous to its existing office, Vaughn said.
Incentives awarded by the Frisco Economic Development Corporation under programs aimed at local business retention tipped the balance for Century Payments, according to the Newmark brokers.
“The team searched for space in both Plano and Frisco, which are both exceedingly hot markets for office space right now,” said Vaughn. “It made the most sense for the client to stay once the availability and incentives were available. Plus, Century Payments retains the benefits of existing signage at its current location.”
“The Frisco business climate is very accommodating to corporate growth and expansion, as exhibited by Century Payments,” said Jim Gandy, president of the Frisco Economic Development Corporation. “The Frisco EDC is proud to work closely with our corporate residents to ensure a productive relationship.”
The landlord, Hall Financial Group, was represented by Kim Butler in the transaction.
