Special thanks to HALL Group for allowing us access to the beautiful Hall Park grounds and for the education in extraordinary art.

Good-bye drab, look-alike office buildings.
Hello, Hall Park! 

In a stunning 162-acre development, the award-winning Hall Park redefines the workplace, making a grand statement in Frisco with a 16-building complex swathed in breathtaking artwork inside and out.

The four-acre Texas Sculpture Garden greets visitors at the Hall Park entrance, surrounding the lakes and fountains with a 40-piece contemporary art collection, celebrating the work of prominent homegrown artists. Plus, over 150 pieces of art from around the world dot the lush landscape and lobbies, featuring drawings, sketches, sculptures, paintings, glass art and photography.

“Over the past 20 years of building HALL Park – from 162 acres of wide open land to 16 buildings and growing, our vision for the property has continually evolved as the way people work has evolved.   We are now looking towards the next 20 years, and we plan to continue keeping the Park relevant while retaining its existing beloved, unique features that set it apart.” – Craig Hall, founder & chairman of HALL Group

The Hall Collection

As a critical component when designing the Hall Park master plan, significant works of art were placed throughout the grounds and within building lobbies. More than 200 works created by artists from all over the world are on display here and include drawings, sketches, sculpture, paintings, glass art and photography. From humorous to serious, whether outside or in, each individual piece has been positioned and installed with the utmost of care.

Hall Park amenities include new restaurants, a 10,000 square foot, state-of-the-art fitness center, a wine lounge, new meeting spaces and creation of HALL Eats, a food truck court and gathering area in the center of the park.  

Barbara Milo, Director of Park Experience,  provides art tour information to the public and concierge services to tenants, including coordinating events, activities, and programs throughout the park.
