Since acquiring Burlington Woods I and III, TDC has completed lease transactions totaling approximately 94,000 square feet. "These leases continue the momentum we have maintained over the past year as the new owners of Burlington Woods I and III," said Duncan Gilkey, senior vice president and director of leasing for TDC.
