DallasNews Biz Beat Blog: Two office towers in Dallas are getting the CBS name

A North Central Expressway office tower is getting a new identity.

And it will be one of two separate high-rises along U.S. Highway 75 in Dallas named after the CBS broadcasting network.

Building owner Gaedeke Group and CBS Radio have closed a deal to rename the Fitzhugh Central Tower at 4131 North Central as the CBS Radio Tower.

The building houses three floors of radio studios and offices for CBS. The broadcaster just expanded its operations in the building by 11,000 square feet and signed a longterm lease.

CBS also will now have a first floor studio and reception area in the tower. Dallas-based Magill Associates is designing the remodeling of the building to accommodate the expanded CBS space.

Last week, CBS’s local television stations – CBS 11 and TXA 21 – announced they were moving their Dallas newsrooms and offices to the Coit Tower at 12001 North Central, north of Forest Lane.

That high-rise will be renamed the CBS Tower. The studios and offices were previously located in a company-owned property at 10111 North Central.
