Hall Park Transforms the Workplace with Lush Greenery, Impressive Art, and Abundant Amenities
by Lisa A. Beach
Frisco is rapidly emerging as one of the most attractive places to live and work in Texas, thanks in large part to developer Craig Hall, who fundamentally altered Frisco’s landscape with the establishment of HALL Park in the 1990s. Hall is raising the bar for what office parks can be, continuously evolving HALL Park into a distinctive workplace that emphasizes aesthetics, facilities, and a balanced approach to work and life.
Part of Hall Park’s Texas Sculpture Garden features hundreds of unique artworks. Shown here is “La Mujer Roja,” a steel and paint sculpture by Houston artist Michelle O’Michael.
HALL Park offers a wealth of activities, special events, beautiful landscaping, expansive green areas, an impressive art collection, and a wide range of benefits and amenities for tenants and their employees, making it the top destination for work in North Texas.
“From the start, our mission has been to create an exceptional environment that exceeds the standard office building, enabling our tenants to attract and retain the best talent,” states Craig Hall, founder and chairman of HALL Group. “Our recent upgrades at HALL Park represent significant progress towards this mission—introducing restaurants, enhanced fitness options, outdoor walking and jogging paths, a wine lounge, new meeting spaces, and various other improvements.”
This stunning office complex features over 150 artworks from artists worldwide and boasts the largest private collection of contemporary Texas sculpture ever unified in the Texas Sculpture Garden.
Moreover, the range of distinctive amenities is extensive. The perks for tenants and their employees go beyond the ordinary, presenting desirable services including:
The 10,000 sq. ft. fitness center features daily classes and a mix of indoor and outdoor activities.
• Health and Wellness: The expansive fitness center includes daily classes in yoga, Pilates, boot camp, kickboxing, spinning, and TRX training. Additionally, nine trails meander through the beautifully landscaped grounds, adorned with striking art, allowing walkers and joggers to relish their outdoor experiences.
• Food & Drink Options: Tenants can opt for catered meals during their meetings, enjoy the new dining establishments (from sit-down restaurants to quick-service options), unwind in the Sip Wine Lounge for social or corporate gatherings, or grab lunch from various vendors at the HALL Eats Food Truck Park.
• State-of-the-Art Meeting Spaces: Tenants can connect in a variety of Wi-Fi-equipped, indoor and outdoor environments (including a new entertainment pavilion) for corporate meetings, conferences, employee breaks, and special events supported by HALL Active/Conference Manager, Ashley Dulaney.
• “Concierge-Like” Services: Catering to busy professionals, HALL Park alleviates the stress of daily chores by providing a private preschool, banking services, and a car care center.
Comprising 16 buildings and growing within this 162-acre site, HALL Park is constantly evolving into a premier business hub. Located along the Dallas North Tollway, the development has significantly transformed since its inception in the mid-1990s, which began with a few two-story office buildings and parking areas. At that time, the tollway did not even extend to Highway 121.
The Sip Wine Lounge offers tenants and visitors a space to unwind or host corporate and social events.
Today, HALL Park stands as the largest office complex in Frisco, housing around 190 companies within 2.5 million square feet of office area. Its expansion continues, with a new 300,000 sq. ft., 12-story office tower currently under construction, slated to be completed in December 2017. This will be the 17th building at HALL Park and the tallest office structure in Frisco.
“HALL Park is redefining the concept of the workplace, offering a remarkable art collection, lovely lake views, and unique amenities like our wine lounge, walking trails, and lakeside meeting and event venues,” notes Hall. “I am thrilled to witness and be a part of the park’s forthcoming developments and anticipate its growth over the next 5, 10, and 20 years.”
Dedicated to fostering success for each individual tenant, HALL Park prioritizes the importance of attracting and retaining workforce talent, enhancing productivity, and promoting peace of mind. That’s why this 162-acre site provides a wide range of amenities, managed by the on-site Director of Experience, Barbara Milo. Available amenities include:
• Fitness Center
• Outdoor Trails
• Wine Lounge
• State-of-the-Art Conference and Training Rooms
• Food Truck Park
