Equastone bets $382 million that commercial real estate in Dallas is undervalued


Contributed by DTRE on August 1, 2007
San Diego based Equastone is purchasing 43 acres of commerical Dallas real estate including 12 luxurious office buildings. This is a sure sign that they believe commercial real estate in the Dallas area is set to increase in the upcoming years.

At present, the DFW area has almost an 18% office vacancy rate, but growth in oil and finance could lead to a surge in the local economy. The 12 buildings are located in the North Dallas Suburbs of Plano and Richardson. So for any of you out there looking for a solid Dallas real estate investment, you might want to snatch up some land near these areas. If Equastone is right, and companies flock to the suburban north, restaurants and the like will be looking for prime land to rent.

Jon C. says: This is an excellent sign for anyone following the commercial real estate market in Dallas. While the housing market slump is hurting the west coast, Texas seems to preforming quite well. I have been closely following the Houston Real estate news and trends and think it is in even better position than Dallas.



Anti-Texas says: Jon - While I agree that the real estate market in Texas is surviving the downturn quite well, I have to stick with the motto "Don't Invest In Texas" when it comes to flipping homes in Dallas or Houston. The property taxes are just too high to make it worth the hassle.
