Crescent Real Estate just grabbed another key piece of Uptown Dallas, buying the 19-story office tower at 2100 McKinney Avenue and further loading up on high-end office space along one of the city’s hottest corporate corridors. The roughly 360,000-square-foot property has become a familiar address for major tenants and adds more heft to Crescent’s already sizable local portfolio.
Deal reporting and who was involved
According to CoStar, the 19-story tower at 2100 McKinney sold to a new ownership group tied to Crescent Real Estate LLC. CoStar lists the building at about 360,859 square feet and identifies John Goff as chairman of Crescent, while also noting firms such as Eastdil Secured and MetLife among the parties connected to the transaction.
About 2100 McKinney
The building’s own listing describes 2100 McKinney as a Class A office tower developed in 1999 and renovated in 2021, with roughly 351,859 rentable square feet and on-site amenities that include a fitness center and ground-floor dining, according to the 2100 McKinney property website. The site highlights a tenant roster anchored by established professional and financial firms and notes recent rent growth in the Uptown submarket.
CBRE's connection to the tower
CBRE relocated its global headquarters to Dallas in 2020 and initially based its operations at 2100 McKinney before moving into the Park District at 2121 N. Pearl in 2024, according to reporting by The Dallas Morning News. That recent corporate history has helped keep the building on the radar for firms looking to plant a flag in Uptown.
Crescent’s Uptown strategy
Industry coverage has framed the purchase as part of a broader Crescent push to build serious scale in Uptown. CoStar reported one broker calling the deal a way to achieve “critical mass” in the submarket. The move follows Crescent’s October acquisition of the Texas Capital Center at 2000 McKinney, as reported by The Real Deal, underscoring a clear pattern of local buying.
Market context and what’s next
Uptown remains one of Dallas’s tighter Class A office submarkets, and the tower’s occupancy and proximity to Klyde Warren Park make it an attractive target for an owner focused on leasing and amenities, according to the 2100 McKinney property website. County deed records and public filings are expected to confirm formal ownership and any financing details in the coming days, and brokers will be watching to see whether Crescent puts additional capital into modernizing common areas and tenant services.
