Global telecommunications giant AT&T signed an 186,000-square-foot office lease at The Tower at Lakeside in Richardson, part of the 807,354-square-foot Lakeside Campus.

Newmark’s Nathan Durham represented building-owner Provident in the lease deal. AT&T was represented by Troy McDonald of CBRE and Lawrence Gardner of OMS Strategic Advisors, LLC.  Newmark says the transaction marks the largest new lease signed in the Richardson submarket since 2018 and one of the top leases signed in Dallas year-to-date.

AT&T will occupy seven floors of the 16-story, 412,000-square-foot Class A office tower at 2221 Lakeside Boulevard under a long-term lease agreement. The new space will consolidate multiple regional sites. 

Newmark facilitated the sale of the Lakeside Campus to Provident in October 2024. According to Newmark Research, the flight to quality trend continues to shape the Dallas-Fort Worth office market, with Class A space accounting for 71.5% of total square footage leased in the first quarter of 2025.
