"Trammell Crow Co. has purchased the site," the company's Dallas-area senior managing director, Scott Krikorian, confirmed to Bisnow in a statement. "We are excited about future development opportunities."

The SMU-in-Plano Campus is a four-building property that sits on 16 acres at 5228-5236 Tennyson Parkway in West Plano.
