Uptown Dallas’ Chateau Plaza gets new name as multi-million-dollar makeover revealed

An 18-story Uptown Dallas tower has dropped its moniker of more than 30 years as owners begin a multi-million-dollar capital improvement project.

Chateau Plaza will now be called 2515 McKinney to highlight the property’s opportune address in the increasingly popular submarket known for its diverse mix of residential, retail and office spaces. The property is owned by institutional investors advised by J.P. Morgan Global Alternatives.

J.P. Morgan Global Alternatives worked with Stream Realty Partners to reimagine the building’s identity as a complete renovation starts on the lobby, tenant lounge, public corridors and boardroom. A fitness center and outdoor patio also will be added to enhance the tenant experience and attract companies seeking employee-centric office spaces in buildings with modern amenities. Dallas-based Entos Design has been retained to oversee the design and construction, which is expected to wrap up in the fall.

Stream, a national commercial real estate firm offering an integrated platform of services, is headquartered in Dallas and provides leasing and property management services at 2515 McKinney. Managing Director Rhett Miller and Associate Patrick Cruz serve as leasing agents. Blair Miller is the Property Manager.

Chateau Plaza was built in 1985 and last renovated in 2011. The building, with 178,970 square feet, sits on the corner of McKinney Avenue and Fairmont Street, near a host of fast-casual restaurants and popular retail shops that tenants will appreciate. Interstate 35 East, U.S. 75 (Central Expressway), and Woodall Rogers Freeway (Texas Spur 366) are all easily accessible for commuters.

2515 McKinney is home to the privately held, state-chartered financial institution Nexbank; national healthcare strategy and transaction advisory firm VMG Health; and national business advisory company Riveron. The building offers suites from around 1,500 square feet to full floors–including the 13th floor available in November 2023 and the 10th floor available in June 2024–at more than 18,000 square feet. 

Dallas investment fund plans to renovate newly purchased Irving office building

An Irving office building leased by Stream Realty Partners since 2010 has been sold to a Dallas-based real estate private equity fund.

Reserve Capital Partners, in partnership with Trinity Investors, purchased Crestview Tower at 105 Decker Court from Austin-based CapRidge Partners. The new owner has hired Dallas architectural firm Entos Design to completely reimagine the building’s entry, lobby, fitness center, tenant lounge, and outdoor patio. Reserve Capital’s construction team will oversee the multi-million-dollar renovation featuring design elements such as wood-slatted accent walls and ceilings, modern pendant lighting, and stylized directional wall graphics. Furniture, artwork, carpets, and wallpapers will boast warm, earth-tone colors. The project is expected to take approximately four months once plans are finalized. Financing for the project was provided by Southside Bank Senior Vice President for Commercial Real Estate Jonathan Ferrell.

Reserve Capital will retain Stream, a national commercial real estate firm offering an integrated platform of services, to lease the 12-story building in the booming Las Colinas submarket. Executive Vice President and Partner Tim Terrell and Managing Director Rhett Miller of Stream Dallas serve as the leasing agents.

Crestview Tower was designed to house the headquarters of firms seeking inspiring workspaces. Building amenities include a conference center, on-site property management, 24-hour security, keycard access, fiber internet, and day porters.

Tenants appreciate being within walking distance from 50,000 square feet of retail shops and local and chain restaurants. High-end residential units and hotels also are nearby. The property sits right off State Highway 114 and offers commuters easy access to SH 183 and 161 as well as interstates 35E and 635. Three major transportation hubs–Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, Dallas Love Field Airport, and Addison Airport–are 10 minutes, 15 minutes, and 23 minutes away, respectively.

Crestview Tower is currently 78% leased. The office building has several speculative suites available with high-end finishes and access to full amenities. Rentable office spaces range from 943 square feet to 8,447 square feet.

Revantage, a Blackstone portfolio company, to lease space at Stream Realty Partners’ The QUAD in Uptown Dallas

Revantage, a Blackstone Real Estate portfolio company, will soon call Stream Realty Partners’ The QUAD home as it expands its employee base in Dallas.

Revantage, which provides corporate services to Blackstone’s real estate portfolio, expects to occupy approximately 32,000 square feet on the third floor of the 12-story, Class AA office tower at 2699 Howell St. The space will accommodate the company’s current Dallas employee base with additional capacity to hire local talent in support of its strategic growth plan. Revantage will maintain its current headquarters and presence in Chicago’s Willis Tower and maintains other office locations around the world including in Europe and Asia.

Stream Senior Vice President Ryan Evanich and Vice President Marissa Parkin represented Stream, the owner of The QUAD, in the transaction. Jon McNeil, Torrey Littlejohn, and Christy Rhea of JLL represented the tenant.

Revantage anticipates moving employees in during the first half of 2024.

The QUAD will set a new standard in Dallas with an integrated “smart” building end-user interface.

Tenants such as Revantage will appreciate the tower’s full-service fitness studio, top-floor outdoor terrace with expansive views, a club lounge and conference center, an acre of outdoor space, a bike valet, and dedicated underground parking. The building is also steps away from popular Uptown restaurants, hotels, entertainment venues, and multifamily complexes.
