The 103,000-sf, two-story office building is being constructed at 4100 International Parkway. Talks are under way with several prospective tenants, but final signings are still at least two weeks out, Feliz Jarvis, senior vice president of office development, tells GlobeSt.com. The structure mirrors the park's eighth building and will deliver in September. Meanwhile, crews will wrap up work in May on a 107,000-sf office project at 4100 Midway Rd.

The four-year-old International Business Park neighbors the famed Telecom Corridor and Platinum Corridor. With that in mind, the park is being developed in a series of mini-campuses that target mid-size businesses as tenants, but boast amenities most often found only on campuses of major corporations. "The idea of International Business Park," stresses Jarvis, "is to be able to bring all of the amenities and luxuries that only big corporations can afford and make it affordable for smaller companies." And that means such highly desired features as a fitness club, park areas and a sculpture garden.

The latest project to come out of the ground is situated on a 7.7-acre tract that is part of 30 to 40 acres that ultimately will hold five buildings totaling 600,000 sf. One building remains to be started in that mini-campus, which like its counterparts has yet to be anointed with a name from its Dallas-based developer. For now, buildings are referred to by their addresses.

Morrison Seifert & Murphy Architects is the designer of 4100 International Parkway. Rogers-O'Brien Construction Co. is the general contractor and Mesa Design Group is the landscape architect. All are Dallas-based companies.

The park is a "mass of low-rise office projects" that ultimately will contain more than 35 buildings totaling in excess of five million sf, Jarvis says. More than 17,000 employees are expected to work at the site when it's built out. "We're just beginning and we're just beginning to see it take shape," she tells GlobeSt.com. In the long term, International Business Park will be complemented by a retail project that's ticketed for Billingsley's 60-acre holding along the President George Bush Parkway.

The 4100 Midway Rd., a design of HKS Architects of Dallas, is the first of a four-building campus being developed on 25 to 30 acres. That mini-campus ultimately will contain 450,000 sf. The section's second building could get under way in the summer, according to Jarvis.
