Soon, real estate pros, and other folks who love a good (expensive) steak for that matter, will have a new place to entertain clients in Big D.

Morton’s Restaurant Group (NYSE: MRT), which bills itself as the world’s largest operator of upscale steak restaurants, plans to open an 8,500-sq.-ft. restaurant at McKinney and Pearl streets in Uptown Plaza, a retail development across from the Rosewood Crescent Hotel.

In recent months the Uptown market has taken off, especially from a commercial real estate power center standpoint. North Texas’ largest brokerage firm, CB Richard Ellis, signed a 91,000-sq.-ft. lease there in April, and both Cushman & Wakefield and Colliers International are consolidating offices in Uptown as well.
