Frisco, TX – The Karahan Companies, together with development partner KDC, released details of an ambitious office‑space project that could become one of the largest corporate campuses in the Dallas‑Fort Worth metroplex. The plan calls for about 11 million square feet of build‑to‑suit office space spread across low‑rise campuses, mid‑rise buildings, and a signature trophy tower.
Project scope and location
Fields, a 2,545‑acre master‑planned development on the north side of the city, already hosts a mix of residential neighborhoods, apartments, retail, restaurants, entertainment venues, and existing office space. The new office component will be sited along key corridors—including the Dallas North Tollway, Panther Creek Parkway, US 380, and PGA Parkway—providing easy access for commuters and corporate tenants.
Economic impact and job creation
While the release did not disclose a construction timeline, the scale of the project suggests a significant boost to the local economy. An office hub of this magnitude typically generates thousands of construction jobs and, once occupied, creates a steady stream of professional positions that support families throughout the region. The development aligns with Frisco’s ongoing strategy to attract high‑quality employers and retain talent by offering a blend of work, housing, and lifestyle amenities.
Developer statements
“KDC has been an incredible partner over the past 25 years. They continue to be one of the best developers in the country with an incredible track record of creating dynamic corporate campuses,” said Karahan Companies CEO Fehmi Karahan. “KDC’s involvement in many recent relocation announcements is a testament to the company’s unwavering commitment to quality and its ability to deliver the results corporations demand.”
KDC President Eric Hage added, “Following Legacy West’s success, teaming up with Fehmi once more is a tribute to the trust we’ve built and our shared vision for delivering high‑quality assets. This renewed partnership allows us to build on our previous momentum and apply our collective insights to push the envelope even further on this new development.”
Senior Vice President Aaricia Mims noted the broader appeal of the project, stating, “As office demand continues to move north, Corporate America is looking for locations offering more than just a place to work. With a range of housing options, an impressive roster of amenities, and miles of trails and expansive green spaces, Fields offers the connectivity, convenience and quality of life companies need to attract and retain top talent.”
Fields West progress
Fields West, a 710,000‑square‑foot mixed‑use parcel within the larger development, is already 75 % pre‑leased, having secured 44 leases with retailers and restaurants. This momentum underscores the market’s confidence in the overall Fields concept and bodes well for the upcoming office phase.
Historical context
The Karahan Companies and KDC have a proven record of attracting major employers to the region, having helped bring Toyota, JPMorgan Chase, Liberty Mutual, and FedEx to Plano’s Legacy West development. Their experience suggests the new Frisco office hub could similarly draw high‑profile corporate tenants seeking a modern, amenity‑rich environment.
What’s next?
The announcement did not name specific companies that may be considering the Frisco site, nor did it provide a definitive construction schedule. Local officials and community leaders are expected to monitor the project’s progress, ensuring that infrastructure, traffic, and public services keep pace with the anticipated growth.
For residents and businesses in Frisco, the plan represents a tangible sign of continued economic vitality and a commitment to expanding opportunities for families seeking quality jobs close to home.
