Dallas-based developer KDC recently announced that it had reached a new milestone at the Wells Fargo regional campus in Irving, Texas. Located in the mixed-use planned community of Las Colinas, Texas, the two-tower development topped out earlier this month and is reportedly well on its way for its scheduled delivery in 2025. The campus is targeted for LEED Platinum certification.
The property incorporates more than 800,000 square feet of northwest Dallas office space and marks Wells Fargo’s first net-positive energy office campus. With rooftop solar panels, electric vehicle charging stations, and native plantings to minimize watering requirements, the property is expected to generate more energy than it consumes.
Upon completion, the financial institution aims to consolidate several of its Dallas-Fort Worth area offices at the Las Colinas campus. Located at 401 W. Las Colinas Blvd., the 22-acre lot conveniently sits at the northeast corner of West Las Colinas Boulevard and Promenade Parkway, just one block south of West-Northwest Highway.
Interior amenities announced so far include barista-style coffee, a food hall with open-view cooking stations, a dining hall overlooking Lake Carolyn, a library with a high-tech workshop space, and a tech express lounge.
Meanwhile, employee wellness features have a notable focus on access to outdoor activities. For instance, in addition to well-being rooms and gyms with remotely led classes, the campus is close to nearby walking and bicycle trails, stand-up paddle board rentals, a cycling studio and four golf courses.
“This is a significant milestone for this incredible project for Wells Fargo as we mark the halfway point in the construction process,” said Steve Van Amburgh, chief executive officer at KDC. “Together with Wells Fargo and the development team, we are creating a space that makes employees the priority. The timeless, organic, and sustainable design supports a healthy work environment that extends to the outside with easy access to entertainment destinations, as well as multiple restaurants and retail venues just minutes away.”
The 8,500-acre Las Colinas mixed-use development was founded more than 50 years ago and is still one of a very small number of planned communities of its kind in the U.S. Although it does also include what might be called conventional suburban areas, Las Colinas is a suburb with a corporate headquarters tower-filled downtown of its own. The quirky central business district incorporates more than 6 million square feet of office space, a convention center, and an Italian-inspired canal district.
Located on what had long been a vacant lakefront plot, the Wells Fargo campus boasts a very efficient position in Las Colinas as it’s easily accessible by rail and is surrounded by numerous dining and retail opportunities that are within convenient walking distance.
A leading development and investment firm for more than three decades, KDC has developed more than 30 million square feet of corporate office space in walkable, mixed-use urban environments anchored by notable clients. The firm also specializes in data center and corporate industrial development. Its portfolio includes projects for FedEx, Raytheon, State Farm (Dallas and Atlanta offices), Toyota North America, and Volkswagen.
