FedEx Expanding 110,00-sf Structure for Software Development Team

FedEx is adding 60,000 sf to a 110,000-sf facility in Irving, a preferred corporate address due to its proximity to DFW Airport and main arteries leading to Dallas and Ft. Worth.

An estimated 600 employees of FedEx’s software development operations will occupy the second development phase of the two-story technology center at 4200 Regent Blvd. in Irving’s Regent Center.

Koll Corporate Development, which handled the project’s first phase, anticipates construction will be completed in time for a December move-in. Koll president Steve Van Amburgh says his company won the project’s first phase in “a highly competitive bidding process” sealed by innovative designs and construction of high-tech structures. FedEx’s Dallas Technology Center features a software test and development lab with raised flooring, emergency generator backup, fitness center and full-service cafeteria with outdoor dining area.

Fischer & Co. represented FedEx in negotiations with Koll Corporate. The general contractor is Hill & Wilkinson. Architectural firm 3ci is designing the shell and core building elements while Benson Hlavaty Architects is the interior architect
