Recent news out of Frisco suggests that well-located, mixed-use developments will continue to win the competitions for sought-after employers.
Frisco Square, a mixed-use development off Main Street near the Dallas North Tollway, attracted Gearbox Software from its current location in Plano.
Gearbox’s new headquarters in Frisco Square will occupy 61,000 square feet and is serving as the catalyst for a new 300,000-square-foot, $60 million project.
The new project is located on five acres and includes:
- 100,000 square feet of office space
- 220 apartments
- 50,000 square feet of retail space
- 800-space parking garage
When the project is complete in 2013, Frisco Square will offer more than 1 million square feet of mixed-used space.
Gearbox, an award-winning independent developer of interactive entertainment, will be the first headquarters housed at Frisco Square.
Its employees include programmers, engineers, animators, and artists.
Frisco Square Development is developing the project.
New office construction in the Metroplex continues to cluster in and around mixed-use developments like Legacy Town Square, Uptown, and Frisco Square.
In today’s highly competitive marketplace for office tenants, pleasant “live, work, and play” environments play a key role in luring employers.
