In the Uptown Dallas and Victory Park areas, a bevy of firms inked leases earlier this year at offices built during the pandemic or still in the development phase. The Link at Uptown, which opened last year, secured a move-in from PMG planned for August, and Houlihan Lokey will occupy space here early next year. A few blocks north, Bank OZK inked a 15-year lease for four floors at a tower anticipated to open in 2025.
