Gramor Development‘s Waterfront project in Vancouver, Washington, has secured a major office tenant.

Chicago Title and sister company Fidelity National Title have leased more than 10,000 square feet, occupying the entire second floor of the Block 6 East building. Construction is under way and projected to finish this fall, with the title companies moving in shortly thereafter.

Chicago Title and Fidelity National Title will have approximately 40 employees in the building, according to a news release.

The Waterfront is planned to eventually become a 32-acre, $1.5 billion development along the Columbia River.

The development comes at a time of pent-up demand for new office space in Vancouver, said Barry Cain, owner and president of Gramor Development.

鈥淭here are a lot of people who are in Vancouver now who have not had this opportunity to be on the waterfront, to be in a new building,鈥� Cain said. 鈥淭here’s a number of businesses in Portland now that maybe should be in Vancouver, and they haven’t considered it, and they should be.鈥�

M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust previously agreed to lease the top two floors in the 70,000-square-foot, seven-story Block 6 East building. Building amenities include bike rooms, showers, high ceilings and river views.

The Waterfront has attracted restaurants and bars, with Ghost Runners Brewery, Twigs Bistro and Martini Bar and WildFin American Grill taking space in the development.

In October, Gramor installed a 75-foot-long mast at the Grant Street Pier.
