A partnership formed by Dallas developer Cawley Partners purchased the 17-acre campus, which includes 4 acres for additional development.
"The Rent-A-Center corporate office is an attractive acquisition, not only because of its prime location, but the site has the potential for future expansion," CEO Bill Cawley said in a statement. "That, in addition to the Class A existing building secured by the income stream of a Fortune 1000 tenant, makes this a great addition to the Cawley portfolio."

There was a “Wall Street” sequel, but I wouldn’t even watch it on cable, as the 1987 original had enough laugh-out-loud lines to almost be a self-parody. As for a vulgar 2013 movie called “The Wolf of Wall Street,” I still resent the $11 for the ticket and two hours that were taken from me.
Colorado business confidence rises slightly heading into 2020
Despite continued trade wars, a presidential impeachment and forecasts for slower economic growth, confidence among Colorado business leaders slightly increased heading into 2020, according to the University of Colorado Boulder's Leeds Business Confidence Index released Thursday.
"What this shows us is that if you're a company looking at hiring or investing, what's going to cause you to pause isn't the impeachment hearings," said Brian Lewandowski, associate director of the Leeds Business Research Division. "What you're concerned about is the economy and even though growth is not expected to be robust in 2020, it shows that we're not necessarily heading towards recession in 2020."

How Walmart plans to turn around its fashion business in 2020 – Glossy
The company is hellbent on setting itself up for a stronger fashion e-commerce business in 2020. At the end of 2019, Bonobos founder Andy Dunn shared his plans to step away from the Walmart in late January. He currently oversees all of Walmart’s digital consumer brands, including Eloquii and Allswell, and the company has yet to name his successor. Turning around that portion of the business will be among key focuses this year.
While Amazon is building its fashion credibility with new fashion-led services and a focus on influencer collections and Target has long been developing fashion collaborations with major designers like Jason Wu and Lily Pulitzer, Walmart has also been trying to make a name for itself in fashion. That push is mainly led by the company's investment in private label and exclusive brands.
