Megatel Homes Is Moving To Rosewood Court In Uptown Dallas.

The homebuilder and 300 corporate employees will relocate to Rosewood Court from the firm's existing headquarters in the Dallas suburb of Farmers Branch.

The Megatel Group focused its search on Uptown Dallas, where Rosewood Property Co.'s Rosewood Court beat out numerous competitors to land Megatel as a tenant.

“We’ve known for a long time that we wanted to call Uptown home, but we needed to find the right space,” The Megatel Group co-founder Aaron Ipour said in a press statement Monday. “After touring several of the top buildings in the area, we settled on Rosewood Court because of its elegance and the feeling of prestige you get as soon as you walk in the doors.”
