Located in the heart of North Dallas in Richardson, Texas, Galatyn Commons is a commercial hub in itself, rivaling even the most prestigious office addresses with its superior base of tenants and world-class amenities. This unique office environment serves the office needs of some of the top companies in the US with Raytheon, Goldman Sachs, CBRE, Bank of America, and Steward Health Care all calling Galatyn Commons home. These esteemed companies chose Galatyn Commons, not just because of its close proximity to a dense employee base and great highway infrastructure with its frontage on Hwy 75 and 190, but due to its Class A amenities on-site and in the immediate area which provides an enticing environment to attract and retain employees and fosters an environment of collaboration, connection, and productivity through its set of best-in-class offerings.
Galatyn Commons provides the perfect atmosphere to fortify organizational culture and build relationships with its communal amenities.

Wellness and sustainability are at the core of the campus’ essence, soon to have WELL and LEED Certifications, Galatyn Commons already nurtures these tenets with an on-site fitness center, shared bicycles, trail-connected to green space, the nature preserve walking and biking trails, a vast array of outside amenities on campus, and incoming EV chargers. It also hosts beehives on campus, providing biannual yields of honey to all tenants as well as beekeeping classes for tenant education to add to the employee experience. The outdoor space is great for corporate events with bocce ball courts, a fire pit, amphitheater stage, food truck court, and an outdoor kitchen with grill stations.

While the industry-leading spread of amenities leaves little need to leave the office, commute travel for employees is a breeze with a direct exit off the campus to Central Expressway and Hwy 190 and an on-site DART Rail Station serving the commute needs of employees, which will soon connect directly to DFW International Airport. Employees can walk to work from the 1,000+ new apartment units surrounding Galatyn Commons or dine at the on-site restaurants or take the train one stop to CityLine’s multiple restaurants. Also on campus is the Charles W. Eisemann Center for Performing Arts where companies can host events or employees can catch a play or concert, and accommodate customers at the Renaissance Hotel and Conference Center which is Richardson’s premier hotel and conference center venue, and that is just what’s sitting at their doorstep. With a short bike ride along the trails of the Spring Creek Nature Reserve, they can reach dozens more amenities at CityLine, before returning to their home, which may be in one of the many apartments surrounding the office for a truly cohesive live-work-play experience. Despite a lofty household income of $87,736 in a five-mile radius, housing costs are relatively low compared to equivalent market areas in surrounding cities. This provides an excellent location for families to settle down but remains close enough to the city center to attract younger professionals, as evidenced by Richardson having the most tech workers in the Dallas area according to their Economic Development Partnership. The immediate access to a high-quality employee base is one of the primary reasons major companies select and stay in Richardson, with Blue Cross/Blue Shield, State Farm, GEICO, and more operating major offices here. Even the pandemic had little effect on the city as office vacancies only rose 1%. With an experience only reserved for a select few, and the possibility to lease up to an entire building, Galatyn Commons provides the tools to attract and retain talent from this exemplary employee base and further build a company’s brand that will stand out in this bustling market.
