The Dallas Cowboys and Blue Star Land have added another company to The Star in Frisco: PlainsCapital Bank.

The Dallas-based bank has signed two new leases — a 5,083-square-foot office lease and a 4,000-square-foot retail lease — within the One Cowboys Way in Frisco, which is the world corporate headquarters of the Cowboys.

Next door at The Star, developers have filed new plans with the city for a residential building with a "minimum 17 stories."

Any bets on how fast this sells out? And this is the fourth high-rise residential project going up in that area?

Frisco will redouble its efforts to lure corporate headquarters and other large projects to the city and focus on quality development over quantity, new Mayor Jeff Cheney said at a luncheon today.

The city also will work with the private sector to construct a performing arts center, likely in Hall Office Park, Cheney said in outlining his goals for his first 100 days in office.

Newly released plans for The Star project also show that three office buildings will be built along the tollway and Warren Parkway, adjacent to the new apartment tower. The office buildings will range from seven to 12 stories tall and will include parking garages on the high-profile corner of the tollway and Warren Parkway, according to plans filed with Frisco.

Little surprised that Plano wants to hold graduation in Frisco.

Totally! Why hasn't Plano shared focus on the old downtown area?

Believe it or not, they’re not for Amazon.

Construction has kicked off on the high-rise apartment tower joining the Dallas Cowboy's Star complex in Frisco.

The 17-story Star House apartments are being built at Gaylord Parkway and Cowboys Way, across the street from the Ford Center and the Baylor Scott & White Sports Therapy & Research.

The 160-unit luxury apartment tower has been in the works since last year and is being developed by Columbus Realty Partners and Cowboys' owners the Jones family.

Units come in one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans, ranging in size from 850 to 2,600 square feet. Rent starts at $2,700 per month, twice the Dallas average.

Apartments feature floor-to-ceiling windows, quartz countertops, light and dark kitchen palettes, wine refrigerators, glass-enclosed showers and smart-phone controlled thermostats.

Many units also feature views that overlook the 91-acre campus of the Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters and The Star.

Tenants also have access to a covered pool and outdoor living space, access to room, food delivery and maid services from the nearby Omni Frisco Hotel, an on-site dog park and dog walking services.

The new $65 million project includes an 11-story, 325,000-square-foot tower and accompanying 1,200-car parking garage. Designed by HKS Inc., it will sit at the northwest corner of the Dallas North Tollway and Cowboys Way, north of Warren Parkway.

I get it you don't need the Taj Mahal to do office work but come on as a Architect it has to be terrible to be asked to do another one of these things and pretend you are proud of another blue box that could be anywhere designed by anyone else including a college student and no one tell the difference.
