Personnel changes and transaction activity are reshaping several corners of the Texas commercial real estate landscape. Avison Young is adding leadership depth in Dallas, Oxford Partners has recruited a senior leasing executive, and multiple investment, leasing, and development updates highlight investor and occupier demand across the state.
Noel J. Hutcheson will join Avison Young as Principal and Market Leader for the firm’s Dallas office. Hutcheson brings nearly three decades of commercial real estate experience, having completed more than 14 million square feet of transactions. His background includes negotiations on behalf of eight Fortune 100 companies and a career that spans 19 years with Colliers International and eight years with Cushman & Wakefield before his move to Avison Young.
Oxford Partners has expanded its team with the addition of Stephen Golding as Senior Vice President. Golding’s experience includes oversight of large-scale property portfolios, the execution of leasing strategies, and the management of value-add initiatives across multiple markets. He has also been involved in syndication, underwriting, and capital deployment, reflecting a mix of operational and capital markets responsibilities.
On the investment sales front, Marcus & Millichap announced the sale of Rigsby Avenue Shopping Center, a 64,200-square-foot multi-tenant retail property in San Antonio, Texas. Phillip Levy, an investment specialist in Marcus & Millichap’s Dallas office, held the exclusive listing to market the center on behalf of the seller. Levy also procured the buyer. Both the seller and buyer were described as private investors, and specific pricing or terms were not disclosed.
In the industrial sector, Divine Technologies Aerospace Corp. has signed a full-building lease within Mid-City Business Park. The complex, located at 4666 W. U.S. Hwy. 90, was developed by Welcome Group in 2023 as a four-building, 352,890-square-foot project. Divine Technologies Aerospace Corp. will occupy 83,482 square feet, and with this lease in place, the development is now fully leased.
Additional industrial development is underway as Stream Realty Partners moves forward with Hilltop 71, a 207,000-square-foot project planned for 6800 E. Ben White Blvd. The project is designed as a seven-building complex with individual buildings ranging from 16,000 to 65,000 square feet to accommodate smaller tenants. Groundbreaking is expected within approximately 60 days, and no project cost, timeline beyond the start date, or tenant roster has been released.
Together, these personnel moves, transactions, and development updates illustrate ongoing activity across brokerage, investment, and industrial leasing in Texas, with attention to both institutional-quality leadership hires and multi-tenant assets serving a range of users.
