The Crescent—a 1.3 million-square-foot postmodern office, hotel, and retail complex in Uptown Dallas—has renewed four leases and completed several new ones as the city continues to navigate the future of office.
For The Crescent, that future lies both in retaining its current high-profile tenants and attracting new ones, including those behind the 81,860 square feet of total leases announced today.

Its three connected office towers and office space in the atrium building are all surrounded by outdoor gathering spaces and the five-star luxury Hotel Crescent Court and Spa.
