Amid Pandemic, Allen Progresses on 2M SF of Commercial Projects
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the city of Allen, a northern suburb of Dallas, has seen more than two million square feet of new commercial projects proceed this summer, according to the Allen Economic Development Corporation (AEDC).
The resiliency of the city’s business community, officials say, has been demonstrated by sizable developments including the technology-focused office space Allen Tech Hub, which will break ground in the next 12 months, and the 200,000-square-foot office complex One Bethany West, now open.
“Before COVID-19, Allen was already experiencing a surge in interest from technology companies looking for a home—from fintech and video game development to cybersecurity,” said Dan Bowman, executive director of the AEDC. “We anticipate Allen will be an optimal location for creative companies leaving cramped center cities like New York and Chicago and seeking medium-density suburban developments with first-class walkable amenities and top-rated schools.”
