“We’re honored to be selected as a strategic partner and steward these three marquee properties in a market we’ve operated in for many years and know exceptionally well,” said Gregg Walker, President of DivcoWest Real Estate Asset Management (DREAM). “We look forward to working closely with our partners in the downtown brokerage community as well as with existing and prospective tenants to deliver a quality 24-hour lifestyle environment for Austinites,” Walker added.
