DALLAS, July 22, 2026 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has secured acquisition financing for Cornerstone Plaza, a fully leased retail center located in Southlake, Texas.
JLL successfully arranged financing from Hillcrest Bank, a division of NBH Bank, on behalf of the borrower, Brownlee Waggoner Holdings. Brownlee Waggoner Holdings is a Texas based Real Estate Investment platform focused primarily on retail acquisitions throughout Texas, led by industry veterans - Bo Brownlee, Easley Waggoner, Jr. and John Brownlee.
Cornerstone Plaza is strategically positioned at 2707-2727 East Southlake Blvd., less than half a mile from Highway 114, which sees 150,000 vehicles per day. This prime location along a dominant retail corridor provides excellent accessibility and visibility, drawing customers from Southlake's affluent surrounding communities. The center benefits from its proximity to Southlake Town Square, which generates eight million visits annually, and sits just four miles from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.
The retail center was originally built in 2002 and comprises 51,664 square feet of net rentable area across two buildings situated on 5.9 acres with 273 parking spaces. The property is 100% leased to eight tenants and features a 9.7-year weighted average lease term. Cook Children's Medical Center, a large nonprofit pediatric health system operating 60-plus primary, specialty and urgent care locations throughout Texas, serves as the credit-backed anchor tenant under a net lease. Additional tenants include Activate Games, Cristina's Mexican Restaurant, Smoothie King and several service-oriented businesses.
