The Dallas-Fort Worth market ranked fourth nationally in terms of office investment volume, reaching roughly $1.1 billion year-to-date as of September, according to the latest CommercialEdge office report. However, assets in the metro traded for $128 per square foot on average, well below the $171 national figure.

In September, Shorenstein acquired International Plaza 15, a 388,000-square-foot office tower in Dallas. Taconic Capital sold the 15-story asset in a JLL-brokered deal.

More recently, the tallest building in Fort Worth, Texas, changed hands. Pinnacle Bank Texas sold the 1.1 million-square-foot, 40-story Burnett Plaza several months after having purchased it at a foreclosure auction for $12.3 million.
