Another skyscraper is coming to the “$5 billion mile” in Frisco.
The $141 million project will be a 15-story phase five office tower in The Star, home to the Cowboys practice facility, according to the Dallas Morning News. Expected completion is sometime in 2024.
The more than half million-square-foot high-rise has been fully leased to New York-based Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association. TIAA, one of the nation’s largest pension funds and financial advisers, announced last month that it would bring 2,000 jobs to the Frisco area when the building is completed.
The future TIAA Tower is expected to break ground as early as this week. The company is getting an $18 million state grant to help pay for the new Frisco office.
Designed by Dallas architect HKS, the tower will go up just to the north of a smaller, 11-story office building still under construction on the west side of the tollway within The Star.
The 91-acre Star development, also known as the “$5 billion mile,” is located at the tollway and Warren Parkway. In addition to the Dallas Cowboys’ offices and practice field, the Ford Center indoor stadium, other notable tenants include, an Omni Hotel, a shopping center, the 17-story office tower that houses Keurig Dr Pepper, a Baylor Scott & White medical center and a luxury apartment tower.
The Star office towers are the latest big real estate developments in the works along the tollway in Frisco. Other developers with projects along the $5 billion mile include the Hall Group, Hunt Realty and Karahan, Heady Investments, Wilks Development and more.
Jerry Jones, the original developer behind The Star, was hospitalized earlier this month after a car crash near Wolf Street and Harry Hines Boulevard in Dallas.
