JLL to lead leasing at The Link at Uptown

DALLAS, Aug. 12, 2025 – On the heels of Cousins Properties’ (Cousins) acquisition of The Link at Uptown last month, JLL today announced it has been engaged to handle leasing at The Link at Uptown, a 292,000-square-foot lifestyle office property in the heart of the popular Uptown submarket. Currently 93.6% leased, The Link at Uptown’s premier location serves as the connection point between Uptown, Victory Park and Downtown Dallas. JLL Senior Managing Directors Blake Shipley and Trevor Franke, as well as Executive Vice President Gini Rounsaville, will handle office leasing onsite on behalf of Cousins.

The Link at Uptown features an impressive offering of market-leading amenities. Located on the 14th floor is an expansive amenity level, featuring a best-in-class fitness center, customer lounge, conference center, large outdoor terrace with unparalleled views of the city, and luxury overnight executive suites available exclusively to customers. Boasting a walk score of 92, The Link at Uptown is just three blocks to Klyde Warren Park and has access to more than 55 restaurants in a five-block radius, including favorites such as The Henry, East Hampton and Saint Ann, among others.

“Our team is proud to have been involved with the Link since its inception and thrilled to continue into its next chapter with Cousins,” said Shipley. “The Link’s namesake is magnified as it sits between Uptown’s core and emerging financial districts.”

Situated at the corner of Olive Street and Harry Hines Boulevard, The Link at Uptown is in the center of Dallas’ most active neighborhoods. The office property is directly adjacent to the growing Harwood District and just minutes from Victory Park, The Crescent and Hotel Crescent Court, each offering its own list of dining and entertainment options. Customers at The Link also benefit from proximity to the Katy Trail and nearby DART rail. Notably, the building also has convenient access to Dallas North Tollway, I-35 and Highway 75, providing premier connectivity to the rest of the metroplex.

“We are thrilled to add The Link to our growing lifestyle office portfolio in Dallas,” said Richard Hickson, Executive Vice President of Operations at Cousins. “We are also excited to partner with JLL in leasing the project. JLL has assembled a fantastic team with an impressive command of the market and a proven track record of success at The Link.”

Top-tier office space like The Link at Uptown and other recently delivered trophy assets are driving leasing activity in Dallas, according to JLL’s Q2 Dallas Office Market Dynamics report. With the explosive growth of Dallas’ financial and legal sectors and consecutive quarters of new office space deliveries, Uptown is projected to remain among Dallas’ most in-demand submarkets for the foreseeable future.
