Deal Ticker: Massive Allen Mixed-Use Development Breaks Ground Plus: Clean Earth Company leases industrial space in Alvarado, S2 Capital sells DFW apartment communities to an out-of-state buyer, and more. Allen-based developer JaRyCo broke ground this week on The Farm in Allen, a 135-acre mixed-use project that will include 1.6 million square feet of office, 142,000 square feet of retail, a 150-key hotel, 60,000 square feet of restaurants, townhomes, and urban residential units. Work will begin with the development’s infrastructure, including the roads and utilities, followed by construction of West Lake Park, the phase one trails, and the public parking garage. Last month, JaRyCo announced it will develop 102,000 square feet of class A office space, called FarmWORK One. The three-story building will be located across from The Central District and will include several healthy building elements, such as outdoor, Wi-Fi-equipped work areas, touchless features throughout the building, and HVAC systems with high-efficiency air filtration, ionization treatment, and electronically monitored increased outside air circulation. JaRyCo plans to begin construction in 2021 with completion planned for summer 2022. Avison Young is leasing FarmWORK One for JaRyCo.
