Ryan Cos. Completes DFW Office Tower
Ryan Cos. has completed Ryan Tower, a 409,000-square-foot Class AA office building in Plano, Texas.
The Minneapolis-based company served as developer, design builder and equity partner, while Gensler designed the building. Lincoln Property Co. will manage the property.
Koch Real Estate Investments was also partner on the project, while Acore Capital provided at least $125 million in construction financing.
Ryan LLC—not affiliated with the developer—will be the property’s anchor tenant. The global tax and services and software provider will occupy approximately 50 percent of the building. Koch will also lease some 29,000 square feet at the tower.

Located on 3.6 acres at 8101 Windrose Ave., the 23-story Ryan Tower is in the Dallas-Fort Worth’s Platinum Corridor North submarket. As part of the $3 billion mixed-use development Legacy West, the property is surrounded by retail stores, restaurants and other office and residential components. Tenants have access to the on-site shuttle service which provides transportation to and from Legacy West.
Meeting the needs of modern workforce
Ryan Cos. first announced the plans for the project back in 2021, breaking ground almost one year later in June 2022. The tower was designed to meet the needs of the modern workforce, according to the company’s Director of Development Hank Biddle.
Gensler and Ryan designed the office tower to offer flexible workplace environments and floorplates, shared workspaces, adaptable tenant areas and individual offices. Ryan Tower features a fitness center, a conference center, a tenant lounge, a coffee bar, an outdoor terrace, a yoga lawn, bike storage, greenspaces, covered parking and approximately 1,600 parking spaces.
The developer aims to achieve the Fitwel certification, which involves adding amenities aimed at enhancing the health and wellness of building occupants.
