The City of Richardson has entered into a partnership agreement with Richardson-based infrastructure consulting firm Halff to help expand the company’s largest firmwide office and grow its workforce, enhancing full-service engineering and related services in Richardson. As part of this agreement, the City will assist with tenant improvements at Halff’s new office to be located in the Galatyn Commons Office Park at 2380 Performance Drive; the company has committed to invest $10.8 million in the first year to support tenant improvements at the 80,000 square-foot space and costs related to furniture, fixtures and equipment.
Reinvesting in corporate campuses is a key component of the City of Richardson’s commercial office space strategy, designed to attract reinvestment in this sector which is still recovering from COVID-19 related impacts. The City’s three-pronged approach includes collaborating with property owners to upgrade amenities, offering tenant improvement grants to make office deals more financially feasible, and prioritizing the redevelopment of Richardson’s high-tech manufacturing spaces. These initiatives are designed to attract and retain businesses and to enhance and carefully redevelop office campuses with new long-term corporate tenants.
Halff will remain in its current location at 1201 N. Bowser Road until the end of 2025 while improvements are made to the Galatyn Commons location.
