The Statler Dallas in downtown Dallas has space to rent, and there's now an agency ready to rent it: According to a release, Centurion American Development Group, who owns the building, has selected Bradford Commercial Real Estate Services to market office space within the historic property.

Spaces for rent include:

• two first-floor suites, one measuring 4,038 sf and the other 1,906 sf, which are contiguous and can be combined. One space features private entrances from the street and lobby.
• two restaurant vacancies, one measuring 4,200 sf and the other 1,800 sf

The larger restaurant space was previously occupied by LVI Steakhouse, which opened in mid-2023 and closed not long thereafter.

According to a statement from Bradford senior VP Erik Blais, this is the first time a third-party agency has been retained to market the office space. Up until now, it has only been handled by Centurion. Thus, the majority of the tenants — Scout, Overeasy, Bourbon & Banter — have all been Centurion businesses, as well.

Now the doors have been flung open to businesses who might be a good fit at the 19-story Statler, a mix of hotel suites and residences at 1914 Commerce St. They don't mention the rental rates, how tacky of you to ask, where are your manners.

"We are targeting tenants with a profound appreciation for historical and American mid-century architecture, who desire cool, functional, and memorable spaces in the heart of Dallas," says Julianna Brooks, Bradford VP of business development and strategy who is credited with scoring the leasing assignment.

One benefit to the first-floor office suites is that they have entrances you can access from the street. It's rare to find a small office space in downtown which is not buried inside a high-rise.

The Statler was designed by William B. Tabler, who introduced new construction techniques and materials during the nation's post World War II development. Completed in 1956 at a cost of $16 million, it was the last hotel to be built by Statler Hotels Co., delivering shortly after the chain's acquisition by Hilton Hotels Corp.

Centurion American Development Group acquired The Statler in September 2013, undertaking a $175-million restoration. It now features 159 guest rooms and 219 rental residences, two swimming pools, four restaurants, a music venue, 14,500-sf ballroom, and an array of Hilton concierge services.
