‘Real Estate Weekly’: Dantin Bruce building new B.R. headquarters

A new office building under development on Bluebonnet Boulevard, just west of the Jefferson Highway intersection, will become the new headquarters of the general contractor on the project, Dantin Bruce Construction. The 6,000-square-foot building is located in the Bluebonnet Palms Office Park and is expected to be complete by the end of February. It will be owned by Dantin Bruce, which will occupy half of the building and lease the remaining space to an oral surgeon, says Chris Pike, investment and development specialist with Mike Falgoust & Associates. Dantin Bruce currently leases space for its headquarters at 7915 Wrenwood Blvd., and the firm will relocate to the new office building soon after its completion, Pike says. Bluebonnet Palms had new life breathed into it earlier this year when a 4,000-square-foot office building was erected on the site, which had languished for years. Walsh & Bailey law firm now occupies that building. The office park was initially proposed in 2006 by Victor Dagash but was only partially completed before being foreclosed on by its lender, S. Bettis Properties. Bettis is now working with Pike and a team that includes Dantin Bruce and Ritter Maher Architects to complete the office park.
