Hall Park to break ground on new office tower, $14M Kaleidoscope Park expansion in Frisco

Hall Park is moving forward with new expansion plans that will include a new office tower and a $14 million expansion of Kaleidoscope Park, according to a May 27 company news release.

Two-minute impact: The office tower, called The Terraces at Hall Park, will be part of Hall Park, the mixed-use development developed by Hall Group. The 10-story building will include more than 200,000 square feet of workspace areas above a parking garage with more than 1,300 spaces, according to the release. 

Zooming in: Hall Group is also moving forward with a $14 million expansion of Kaleidoscope Park in partnership with the city of Frisco, the Kaleidoscope Park Foundation and the Frisco Community Development Corp. The project will add about 1.4 acres to the Kaleidoscope Park, including new landscaping, an enhanced performance lawn, a water feature and an outdoor video screen and performance stage designed to support additional community events.

One more thing: Construction is expected to begin in June on both projects, with completion anticipated in 2028.
