The Star is located in Frisco, Texas and was spearheaded by Jerry Jones, Owner of the Dallas Cowboys. The intent behind this 91-acre complex was to establish an even stronger community using brick and mortar. Ever since its grand opening, I have been in awe of The Star’s beauty.
All of the buildings within the complex are decked out with floor to ceiling windows, a sleek design, and luxurious touches to give patrons the feel of a country club. The addition of large trees and beautifully curated landscaping are the cherry on top of the project in my opinion. Because very few homes in Frisco have much greenery, the hint of natural features allows visitors to feel connected with the earth while enjoying the luxury of a $1.5 billion project!
This past summer, I had the opportunity to shadow a commercial real estate broker that offices out of The Star’s office complex. As I walked through glass double doors that were larger than life, I was greeted with the most beautiful chandelier. As you may observe in the photo above, this is no ordinary lighting fixture. Constructed 160 mirrored rods adorned with 20,000 gleaming LED lights, the fixture could remind the guest of stars, diamonds, or fireflies. In my case, it was a symbol of where I could be working in the future.
If you were able to take your gaze off the chandelier, your eyes may travel down to the floors of Italian Bianco Perla marble. As a 20-year-old with no experience in the commercial real estate field, I felt unworthy to be in this entryway which felt like a palace. I have turned this negative feeling into motivation. As I reminisce over my time in this unique office building, I continue to increase my work ethic because I want to walk into work everyday through an entryway like the offices at The Star.
