Earlier this month, Granite Properties announced that engineered structural connector and building solutions corporation Simpson Strong-Tie has signed a lease for nearly 40,000 square feet of office space in Granite Park 6.
The newly developed Granite Park 6 office building is helping Plano gain more corporations, signing five new leases in the past five months and landing itself at 58% leased.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Simpson Strong-Tie to Granite Park 6 and support their growth and expansion in North Texas,” Senior Managing Director of Granite Properties Paul Bennett said. “Leasing momentum at Granite Park 6 is very strong. We have signed five leases over the past five months with prominent companies that desire a highly amenitized and elevated work experiences to benefit their employees and clients.”
Though headquartered in California, the new Plano office will help the corporation establish a strong labor market with close proximity to its McKinney production facility, which designs and manufactures structural connectors and other construction solutions for a multitude of applications.
“Since our founding in 1956, Simpson Strong-Tie has grown strategically to better serve our customers. We’re excited to expand our presence in North Texas with the opening of our second home office at Granite Park 6,” said Simpson Strong-Tie CEO Mike Olosky. This new location will enable us to continue to drive growth and innovation while strengthening our company culture. Our team will also benefit from the many amenities Granite Park 6 has to offer as well as the walkable restaurants, a Hilton hotel, and the short distance to DFW and Dallas Love Field airports.”
The 11th and 12th floor Simpson Strong-Tie build-out will be completed by OTJ Architects and Pacific Builders on the project, with an estimated move-in date by the end of the year.
“We are thrilled to welcome Simpson Strong-Tie to Plano as they expand their company operations to Texas,” said Mayor John B. Muns. “Simpson Strong-Tie is a well-established brand name in the construction industry, and its structural products are used in homes and buildings across America. Their decision to select Plano for this investment highlights our city’s business-friendly environment, talented workforce, and exceptional quality of life. We are proud to partner with a company whose values align with our community and look forward to their continued growth in Plano.”
