The new office of Related Cos. at Maple Terrace, Dallas.
Related Cos., a prominent New York City real estate developer, is expanding its footprint in Texas with a new office in Dallas. This significant investment includes plans for office space in the Maple Terrace building, which features modern amenities. The company aims to triple its operations in Dallas and is also recruiting for various finance roles. This move highlights the growing interest in Texas’s real estate market, particularly in the Dallas area, which is recognized for its promising investment potential.
Dallas – Related Cos., a renowned New York City-based real estate developer, is set to expand its operations in Texas with a new office in Dallas, representing a significant investment in the region. The company has unveiled plans for a new Dallas location at the eighth floor of Maple Terrace, situated at 3001 Maple Ave. The project, which is estimated to cost $1 million, aims to outfit the office space for the company’s growing operations.
The Maple Terrace building, which was completed in 2023 by Hines, boasts several modern amenities designed to cater to professionals. These include an amenity deck, outdoor lounge, exclusive bar and lounge, valet parking, and a golf course simulator, making it an appealing hub for business activities.
Related Cos. anticipates that this new office will more than triple the size of its current footprint in Dallas, where it operates from an office at 2515 McKinney Ave. This expansion is propelled by its Related Fund Management division, which focuses on investment vehicles that acquire, renovate, and manage approximately 10,000 apartment units across the country. The division is now actively recruiting for multiple finance-related positions in the Dallas office.
In line with its expansion strategy, Related Fund Management plans to acquire an additional 5,000 apartment units over the next three years, targeting high-growth markets in both primary and secondary locations throughout the Sun Belt region. This move aligns with the overall trend of increasing interest from real estate firms in Texas, bolstered by a favorable commercial real estate environment that has attracted investors from coastal areas.
In March, Related Cos. announced the establishment of a new division, Related Digital, which focuses exclusively on data centers. This division plans to raise $8 billion to support projects associated with artificial intelligence technology, launching with a significant project pipeline valued at $45 billion. The firm appointed Brent Behrman, formerly the chief sales officer of CyrusOne, as the Chief Investment Officer of Related Digital, indicating its commitment to leadership in the tech-based real estate market.
Texas is increasingly becoming a pivotal real estate market for major firms, with the Dallas area particularly catching the eye of investors. The Urban Land Institute’s latest report ranks Dallas as the most promising market for property investment and demand for 2025. Additionally, the state has shown a strong performance regarding housing affordability. A report indicated that 47.5% of homes for sale in Texas were listed for $350,000 or below, while the state’s median listing price stands at $360,000, approximately $40,000 lower than the national median.
Despite these advantageous pricing metrics, many residents in Texas earn less than $75,000 annually, positioning them to afford only a minimal selection of available properties. Furthermore, Texas is experiencing a rapid population growth rate that outpaces residential development. A housing shortfall of approximately 306,000 homes has been estimated, highlighting the critical need for new housing in the state.
While Texas leads the nation in new building permits, ongoing residential construction is struggling to keep pace with the burgeoning population. This mismatch in supply and demand continues to create challenges in the housing market, requiring ongoing attention from both public and private sectors.
The expansion of Related Cos. in Dallas reflects not only the company’s robust growth strategy but also the broader trends shaping the real estate landscape in Texas. As firms like Related Cos. commit additional resources to the region, it underscores the state’s significance as a center for investment and economic development.
