IN THE NEWS

State Farm Insurance’s 1.5 million-square-foot campus under construction in Richardson is already the biggest office development underway in North Texas.

But apparently it’s still not big enough.

Developer KDC said Friday that it’s adding a fourth, 500,000-square-foot office tower, which will also be leased to the insurance giant.

The 12-story office building will include a five-level parking garage and 30,000 square feet of ground floor retail space. It will be across Plano Road from where the first three buildings are going up.

“With this fourth building, the project will jump Plano Road and open up the whole development for other office, retail and apartment construction,” KDC president Toby Grove said Friday. “For the overall development, this is obviously a big deal for us and State Farm.”

Back in July KDC and State Farm kicked off the huge mixed-use development with construction of 13-story, 15-story and 21-story buildings on the west side of Plano Road at Bush Turnpike.

The entire 186-acre project KDC is building around State Farm’s office towers is called CityLine.

The CityLine development in the first phase will also include more than 90,000 square feet of retail, a 150-room hotel, 532 apartments, a 17,000-square-foot wellness and fitness facility and a 41,000-square-foot boutique office building just east of North Central Expressway.

Construction on the next State Farm building will start this summer. And the insurance company begins moving into the campus at the end of this year.

East-west connectionThe fourth State Farm building won’t open until 2016, Grove said.

“We are in the design phase of that building right now,” he said. “The exteriors will be a little different but complementary of each other — we didn’t want to make them identical.”

KDC is also looking at ways to connect the east and western portions of the CityLine development across Plano Road. That might include a pedestrian bridge over the roadway.

“We are trying to tie both sides of the development,” Grove said. “The idea is to continue what we have done on the east side with more of an urban environment.

“We’ve talked with our apartment partner on the first phase, and they are looking at expanding on the other side of Plano Road,” he said. “We are actually looking at another hotel and talking to some other office users about sites over there.”

KDC has been working with Irving-based apartment builder JLB Partners on the first phase of its development.

And it’s been in talks with tech company Raytheon Corp. about leasing a big block of office space in the Richardson project, too, real estate brokers say.

Shopping spaceWhen completed, CityLine is expected to have about 6 million square feet of office space, almost 4,000 apartments and more than 300,000 square feet of shopping space. Whole Foods Market has been mentioned as a possible grocery anchor for the shopping center.

IN THE NEWS

Construction has started on a large new rental community across the street from State Farm Insurance’s huge campus in Richardson.

Trinsic Residential Group is building the 11.7-acre apartment project on the north side of the Bush Turnpike at the DART commuter rail line in Plano.

The two-, three- and four-story apartment buildings will have a combination of flats and townhouse-style rental units.

The 386-unit Aura One90 project is a short walk under the Bush Turnpike to DART’s rail station and State Farm’s office buildings in the $1.5 billion CityLine project.

“Aura One90 will be an outstanding luxury living option for working professionals who want to have walkable access to CityLine, which has promise to become one of the metro’s premiere new urban centers,” Trinsic’s Adam Brown said. “The location on S.H. 190 also affords residents a quick commute to downtown Dallas and the many other major employers in the North Dallas area.”

Trinsic’s apartment development is one of three large rental

communities being built in or near the CityLine project. More than 1,200 apartments will soon be available near the development at Plano Road and the Bush Turnpike.

Other projects are being built by JLB Partners and Zale/Corson Group.

State Farm begins moving the first of its 8,000 workers into CityLine later this month.

Trinsic Residential Group now has more than 5,000 apartments being built around the country. In the Dallas area, the developer has new rental communities in the works in Uptown and Far North Dallas.

Any projections, opinions, assumptions or estimates used in this Marketing Brochure are for example only and do not represent the current or future performance of this property. The value of a net leased property to you depends on factors that should be evaluated by you and your tax, financial and legal advisors.

Like all real estate investments, this investment carries significant risks.

While the tenant’s past performance at this or other locations is an important consideration, it is not a guarantee of future success.

Returns are not guaranteed; the tenant and any guarantors may fail to pay the lease rent or property taxes, or may fail to comply with other material terms of the lease; cash flow may be interrupted in part or in whole due to market, economic, environmental or other conditions. Regardless of tenant history and lease guarantees, Buyer is responsible for conducting his/her own investigation of all matters affecting the intrinsic value of the property and the value of any long-term lease, including the likelihood of locating a replacement tenant if the current tenant should default or abandon the property, and the lease terms that Buyer may be able to negotiate with a potential replacement tenant considering the location of the property, and Buyer’s legal ability to make alternate use of the property.

By accepting this Marketing Brochure you agree to release The Vitorino Group and hold it harmless from any kind of claim, cost, expense, or liability arising out of your investigation and/or purchase of this net leased property.

Before working with a real estate broker, you should know that the duties of a broker depend on whom the broker represents. If you are a prospective seller or landlord (owner) or a prospective buyer or tenant (buyer), you should know that the broker who lists the property for sale or lease is the owner’s agent. A broker who acts as a subagent represents the owner in cooperation with the listing broker. A broker

who acts as a buyer’s agent represents the buyer. A broker may act as an intermediary between the parties if the parties consent in writing. A broker can assist you in locating a property, preparing a contract or lease, or obtaining financing without representing you. A broker is obligated by law to treat you honestly.

A subagent may work in a different real estate office. A listing broker or subagent can assist the buyer but does not represent the buyer and must place the interests of the owner first. The buyer should not tell the owner’s agent anything the buyer would not want the owner to know because an owner’s agent must disclose to the owner any material information known to the agent.

IF THE BROKER REPRESENTS THE BUYER:The broker becomes the buyer’s agent by entering into an agreement to represent the buyer, usually through a written buyer representation agreement. A buyer’s agent can assist the owner but does not represent the owner and must place the interests of the buyer first. The owner should not tell a buyer’s agent anything the owner would not want the buyer to know because a buyer’s agent must disclose to the buyer any material information known to the agent.
