A 20-year built-to-suit lease has been awarded to Elm Tree Funds and Trammell Crow Co with the General Services Administration, to create a new facility at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport Services for use in consolidating the operations of US immigration services.
The Texas Service Center of US Citizenship and Immigration Services in Irving will be a Class A, one-story building offering 259,947 square feet of support and office space. It will meet the energy efficiency and security requirements set out by the US government, with construction starting this month for completion in early 2020. The managing director of the MidAtlantic Business Unit of Trammell Crow, Tom Finan, said the whole team is thrilled at being chosen for the project, and that the government will rent the building for the next 20 years.
Scott Krikorian from Trammell Crow said that consolidating several different locations into one building will allow US Citizenship and Immigration Services to deliver on their mission with greater efficiency and that by aligning their development expertise they can provide a best-in-class facility suited to such an important agency of the federal government.
The building is set to be constructed across a 27-acre site leased from Dallas Fort Worth Airport, close to the northwest intersection of Bush Turnpike and N. Belt Line Road. This will be the fourth investment made with Dallas Fort Worth Airport by Elm Tree.
