MetroTex Build-to-Suit

Commercial 2-story build-to-suit office building.

This project is a new two-story build-to-suit headquarters for MetroTex, an organization of local real estate professionals. The new headquarters building is located in Irving, TX. The building consists of offices for executives, open office spaces, meeting rooms, and a large event room intended to host large public events. The HVAC system combines conventional rooftop equipment and VRF (variable refrigerant flow). The VRF system serves all of the office areas, while the rooftop air handling equipment serves the large event space. Electrical power is provided by Oncor, with power being routed from a pole-mounted transformer, under a wetland, to a switch near the building. The contractor was required to "bore" the conduits under the wetlands, and no excavation was allowed in that area.
