- 06/25/13 01:05 AM
Candace Carlisle of the Dallas Business Journal covers the Con-way Multimodal office expansion in Frisco. At nearly 10,000 square feet, Con-way increases its footprint at Hall Office Park! Now is a great time for expanding business as the economy (especially in the Dallas/North Dallas area) picks up. As one of the fastest expanding economic markets, it’s not surprising that businesses in Dallas, Plano and Frisco need more space! Many companies are reluctant to expand in a down economy. Even though their business may be doing well, they question if it’s sustainable when so many other businesses are weakening. So it’s good … (0 comments)

- 02/12/13 12:07 AM
State Farm is not shy when it comes to leasing office space in Dallas. In fact, they are on a tear. Although their official HQ in Bloomington, Illinois is supposedly not planning to move here, State Farm has amassed just over 2 million square feet of leased office space in the Metroplex in recent months. The majority of this space is in Richardson where they signed a 1.5 million square foot (SF) lease in a to-be-built mixed-use development. This is the largest office lease recorded in Dallas history, and who can blame them. It’s located adjacent to the DART Rail Bush … (0 comments)

- 01/15/13 12:59 AM
Dallas has enjoyed steady job growth and didn’t suffer nearly as bad as much of the country during the economic downturn. Job growth means more demand for commercial space. If more businesses begin to grow and/or move to Dallas, what does that mean for those of us who are already here? Change and growth always bring bad with the good. But really, even the “bad” is pretty good.
The good news: more business in Dallas means more potential clients and more economic growth for everyone and Dallas will begin to skyrocket closer to the top of places to do business … (2 comments)
