DALLAS, TX – Cawley Partners is pleased to announce PenFed Credit Union has signed a lease to take 30,000 square feet at Las Colinas Highlands (LCH) in Irving. PenFed, the nation’s second-largest federal credit union with headquarters in Tysons, Virginia, will expand its mortgage origination and servicing business into the entire fifth floor of the office building.

“We are thrilled to have PenFed join our Las Colinas building. The location and highly efficient floor plans should serve them well and allow for the expected growth of their team,” commented Kristi Waddell, VP of Leasing with Cawley Partners.

“PenFed is expanding our mortgage origination and servicing businesses in Texas, and we’re eager to hire up to 300 new originations and servicing team members in Irving,” said Lee Wardlow, PenFed’s Senior Vice President of Mortgage Servicing. “LCH is offering us 30,000 square feet of space in Irving that will create an outstanding work environment for PenFed’s growing team of mortgage professionals.”
