Anderson leases 30,342 square feet at Apex at Legacy

DALLAS, Mar. 13, 2025 – JLL has announced that Anderson Merchandisers (Anderson), the Texas-based retail merchandising company, has leased a full floor at Apex at Legacy (Apex), a hospitality-driven, Class-AA office tower spanning 210,000 square feet. Anderson will relocate its corporate headquarters from its existing space at Granite Park to Apex at Legacy, taking over 30,000 square feet on the building’s top floor. JLL Senior Managing Director Conor McCarthy and Senior Vice President Jayme Schutt represented Anderson in lease negotiations, while Managing Director John Brownlee, Executive Vice President Gini Rounsaville and Vice President Michael Williams represented the landlord, Monarch Alternative Capital and Tourmaline Capital Partners.

“As a company, we believe we are better together,” said Jeff King, President of Anderson Merchandisers. “Our business centers around our people and in-store relationships and our office culture reflects that. For instance, our Chief People Officer, Keisha Green, has been an instrumental piece in the decision-making processes behind our new space. We are thankful for our time at Granite Park and are looking forward to building out a collaborative, dynamic office environment at Apex that makes people feel excited to come into work each day.”

Anderson’s new headquarters at Apex at Legacy will be known as the Anderson Field Support Center, a functional, efficient office space that will allow the company to better service its clients and employees throughout the nation. The retail merchandising firm will bring more than 100 associates to its new space with plans to hire more in the near future. The company has enlisted insight from its own team members during the buildout process, showcasing its dedication to designing an inclusive and beneficial office location. Anderson will move into its new space at Apex at Legacy in Q4 2025.

“We are thrilled to welcome Anderson to Apex at Legacy this year,” said Jeff Fronek, Managing Principal and President at Tourmaline Capital Partners. “Anderson’s emphasis on a positive company culture aligns perfectly with the cohesive, collaborative environment we’ve established at Apex, and we are excited to have its amazing team on board.”

Situated at the corner of Dallas North Tollway and Headquarters Drive, Apex at Legacy is immediately walkable to Legacy West. Additionally, Apex is powered by Onsite, a comprehensive workplace experience solution, offering employees best-in-class amenities, hospitality-trained staff dedicated to the tenant experience and full-service convenience enabled through proprietary technology. The office tower’s multitude of amenity spaces include a social hub with lounge spaces and a fireplace, game room, an integrated outdoor terrace with a shade structure and a built-in kitchen. Additionally, the dedicated shuttle service onsite allows tenants to easily access over 70 shops, restaurants and services located within nearby Legacy West and Shops at Legacy developments.

Future plans for Apex at Legacy include a mixed-use development featuring a second Class-AA office tower and Kimpton Hotel.

“Apex at Legacy is the epitome of a well-amenitized office destination,” said JLL’s Rounsaville. “Its hospitality-driven management system, convenient location, plethora of onsite amenities and accessibility to one of DFW’s most popular retail centers make it a true oasis, prioritizing both productivity and flexibility.”

According to JLL’s Q4 2024 Dallas Office Market Dynamics report, a decrease in the construction pipeline will further demand for existing well-amenitized properties throughout the metroplex. With a sustained increase in leasing activity, the market also experienced a substantial uptick in larger deal volume, due in large part to continued nation-leading population and job growth throughout Dallas-Fort Worth.
