The new four-story office building is located west of the Dallas North Tollway in Plano, Texas. The 187,100-square-foot building is situated on 9.25 acres within the International Business Park. It is a tilt-wall structure with a curtainwall skin element.
The lobby area has Italian granite and slim LED lighting, an integrated wood paneling system for lobby ceilings, and an accent wall with concrete finishes similar to terrazzo reflection. The two-story lobby atrium features seating areas and large-scale artwork, as well as a coffee bar with televisions and free Wi-Fi.
AP also constructed a 9,000-square-foot campus amenity center adjacent to the office building, which will serve the entire campus. The center houses a fitness center, locker rooms, grab-and-go food service, a 108-seat conference center, and offers more than 600 parking spaces.
“We were excited for the opportunity to partner with Billingsley Company once again on an office project in a high demand area of North Texas,” said Bob Lemke, Vice President of Operations at AP. “With Plano’s continued business growth, this new building ensures that International Business Park will be well-positioned to welcome more corporate neighbors and continue to thrive.”
“The design for this new campus is rooted in what matters to employees right now,” said Lucy Burns, Partner at Billingsley Co. “With a big focus on amenities and wellness, the building features a coffee bar on the first floor and great outdoor greenspace with a walking trail. Fresh air is such a vital component to wellness today, and there will be private outdoor space for our first floor tenants, giving them direct access to the indoor/outdoor workspace that is in high demand.”
GFF Architects served as planning architect for the project. Trevor Franke and Gini Rounsaville with JLL are coordinating the building leasing for Billingsley.
International Business Park is a 300-acre mixed-use project with almost 2 million square feet of office space that houses more than 100 businesses and more than 4,000 employees.
Notable AP North Texas office projects include the new headquarters for PGA of America in Frisco, Texas, Raytheon at CityLine in Richardson, Texas, and TD Ameritrade Campus in Southlake, Texas. Other local projects AP is working on include Park Cities Presbyterian Church in Dallas, and several school districts projects for Arlington ISD, Fort Worth ISD, Birdville ISD, and Northwest ISD in the DFW area.
