Koll Sets March 10 Ground-breaking for 125,100-SF Office Project

DALLAS-Koll Development Co. is revving its engines to start another construction project at CentrePort. Dirt will start flying March 10 on a 125,110-sf spec office building on an 11-acre tract.

This time, the developer has picked a spot that’s within walking distance of the CentrePort Station, a Trinity Rail Way Express stop. The 1,300-acre CentrePort is the region’s only business park that’s serviced by the commuter train, which shuttles between the Ft. Worth and Dallas CBDs. To date, Koll has developed 500,000 sf of space at CentrePort with tenants including Qwest, Communications Test Design and a 250,000-sf telecom hotel and has under construction a 179,922-sf spec industrial facility, CentrePort Distribution II, at 14951 and 15001 Kingsport.

The $15-million CentrePort Office Tech I, says Bill Guthrey, Koll’s vice president of marketing, is being tailored to call center or other dense office users, particularly clicks who need bricks. Ten top-tier fiber-optic providers service the development, which boasts two power grids. “This kind of infrastructure is in demand by today’s office users,” says Guthrey.
