Major Makeover Underway at SMU-Area Office Campus

Renovations are underway at Energy Square, a five-building, Class-A office campus located near University Park just across from SMU. Having undergone a $70 million upgrade to the office campus and amenities in 2019, the ownership group, Glenstar and Affinius Capital, is spending over $12 million on the latest makeover. Gensler is handling design work. JLL has the leasing assignment. Over 62 transactions totaling 188,000 square feet have closed since early 2025.

The latest effort includes a new ground-level tenant lounge anchored by a cafe. Upcoming enhancements to Energy Square II will include the buildout of spec suites and new large conference rooms on the third floor, as well as a full-floor buildout of tenant-ready office spaces across multiple floors throughout the building, totaling more than 100,000 square feet of available space for future customers.
