Frisco Office Building Development

Dallas Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones said he’s excited to spend another $1 billion on developing the land around the team’s practice facilities at the Star in Frisco, Texas.

Speaking at luncheon held on the field at the Star’s Ford Center by the Dallas CPA Society, Jones talked about extending himself financially at the start of what would become a $1.5 billion project that included some local taxpayer dollars.

“Well, we’re standing here today several hundred million dollars later and that shows you how easy we went, and we’ve got another billion to go here to finish development,” Jones said.

Jones’ real estate company filed plans with the city of Frisco for a series of office buildings at The Star earlier this year.

The company is currently developing a 17-story high-rise and is working on plans for what could be up to four office buildings on the surrounding property to go with an existing office there. One of the new offices would be between 300,000 and 350,000 square feet, said Blue Star Land President Joe Hickman.
