used by Frisco residents, such as Frisco ISD students who take their homecoming or senior photos at the towers, Milo said. “It’s gotten so big, I have to take reservations now,” she said. Milo, board secretary of the Frisco Chamber of Commerce, said she believes Hall Park’s new projects will bolster its existing community while drawing in new businesses to the city.
Hall Park has been a corner- stone of Frisco for years, not just as an o ce park but as a recog- nizable landmark attracting both businesses and people to the city, Milo said. “It helps people moving here,” she said. “They look and see all the things that they have to do right in the city, that they don’t have to go that far out [for].” The spaces at Hall Park are
The all-day or “18-hour” spaces will include restaurants, a new park, a hotel and more, most of which is slated to open in 2024. The push toward a fully mixed- use space in Hall Park will help it continue thriving in a changing economy and allow it to become one of many destinations in Frisco, Cheney said. “It’s exciting to have people want to do things out [at Hall Park] because of all that we do have,” Director of Park Experience Barbara Milo said. The rst two residents of the Monarch moved in the rst week of November, Hall Group Communications Director Shelby Abeyta said in an email. As of Nov. 27, 24 leases have been signed, she said.
Hall Park was always meant to be more than an o ce park, Hall said. “It’s been nice to see the new vision of what [the Hall Group calls] Hall Park 2.0 start to come to life,” Mayor Je Cheney said. The new phase of Hall Park, while not completed, should bring in more revenue to the city as well as help its existing businesses, he said. “This phase of [Craig Hall’s] development is over $500 million of investment that he’s making,” Cheney said. “It will also bring … more tax dollars to the city … through the restaurant [and] retail sales.” Restaurant spaces are planned for the ground oor of the Monarch as well as in surrounding spaces of Hall Park.
