An ambitious redevelopment project near Dallas’ medical district has landed another major tenant, cementing its success.
UT Southwestern Medical Center is leasing 180,000 square feet of space in the Pegasus Park campus on Stemmons Freeway near Love Field.
The lease is one of the largest signed in the Dallas area in the last year and is a big win for Pegasus Park, which is renovating an 18-story tower and surrounding buildings into a state-of-the–art home for biotech firms and nonprofit organizations.

These 20 C-suite executives have steered their companies forward through much disruption, providing inspiration for the possibilities of advancing sustainability, social responsibility and circular business models sometimes all at once. Often working from home themselves, they empathized with employees and other stakeholders, some refusing to issue layoffs. They sparked uncomfortable conversations about diversity and discrimination, some pledging many millions of dollars to address lingering inequities internally and in society at large. Many celebrated with their CSOs on meeting ambitious corporate targets for 2020, while setting audacious new goals for 2025, 2030 and 2050.
