Law firm Sidley Austin is packing up its legal briefs and headed to a new luxury high-rise in Uptown Dallas, seeking to expand its footprint and heighten its office opulence. The Chicago-based legal giant will depart its current abode at McKinney & Olive and set up shop across more than four floors at the swanky 23Springs tower on Cedar Springs Road, a move that cements the building's status as a beacon for high-end corporate tenants.
Sidley Austin currently sprawls over 80,000 square feet in its soon-to-be-former location but will boast a mightier presence with over 118,000 square feet at its new address, a jump in real estate muscle as reported by The Dallas Express. The legal firm's relocation strategy comes amid a robust market for premier office spaces that can offer their workforce not just the standard four walls and a coffee machine, but an array of upscale amenities and proximity to the surrounding urban milieu which includes a customer lounge equipped with a golf simulator and a fitness studio, not to mention dining options right within the tower's belly.
23Springs stands tall as a 26-floor architectural feat encompassing a vast 625,000 square feet of leasable luxury, a shining example of Uptown Dallas's growing allure for businesses seeking space in the vibrant heart of the city. Along with Sidley Austin, the building has reeled in Bank OKZ and Deloitte. Owned by Highwoods Properties and Granite Properties, the construction of 23Springs breathes new life into Dallas' corporate spaces with its promise of walkability, accessibility, and a deep bench of lifestyle features.
Granite's senior managing director, Paul Bennett, expressed enthusiasm over Sidley Austin's decision to transplant its Dallas operations to 23Springs, suggesting a steady demand for top-tier office environs, "We’re excited Sidley has selected 23Springs to relocate and expand their office," he said, and the building's leasing momentum seems unbroken reflecting a continuous appetite for workplaces that offer more than just a desk and proximity to shops and restaurants, this according to a statement obtained by The Dallas Morning News.
According to the property's official website, 23Springs represents a new brand of office experience, imbued with design elements and amenities tailored for a modern workforce, emphasizing openness, light, and connection. Originally founded in the 19th century, Sidley Austin has ballooned to house thousands of attorneys across its offices worldwide, with the Dallas branch first opening its doors in 1996, standing today as a testimony to the firm's enduring legacy and evolving ambitions.
