“This refresh is a direct response to the companies at HALL Park and what they want to see in the workplace,” said Kim Butler, director of leasing at HALL Group. “By modernizing the park with upgrades such as additional outdoor areas, places to collaborate and celebrate, and other health-oriented amenities, we’re creating an even richer environment where people will love where they work.”
Within its 16 completed office buildings and 2.2 million square feet of office space, HALL Park’s existing features already make it a unique office environment. HALL Park houses more than 200 pieces of renowned local and international art, offers a tranquil, natural setting amongst green space, walking trails, lakes and cascading fountains, and its central Frisco location makes it an ideal business address.
“One of the things that makes HALL Park unique is our ability to help our tenants grow within the park as their businesses change and expand. We’ve been able to meet the growth needs of more exceptional tenants than we ever imagined possible when we opened HALL Park,” said Hall.
