ecently, two North Texas-based companies, Atlantic Aviation and Fibergrate Structures, have secured new office spaces in Collin County. Atlantic Aviation is moving to Granite Properties' 19-story Granite Park 6 at 5525 Granite Parkway, less than three miles away from its current headquarters at 5201 Tennyson Parkway in Plano. The aviation services provider has signed a long-term lease for a 26,600 square feet space on the 17th floor starting early next year. The terms of the lease have not been disclosed. Granite Properties Senior Managing Director Paul Bennett mentioned that the company wanted to expand into a higher-profile, Class-A space with more amenities. Granite Park 6, which was delivered last year, is currently 26% leased and has ready-to-lease suites ranging from 1,500 to 3,700 square feet on its sixth floor. More suites are expected to be completed by the end of this year. The property features a 150-seat lecture hall, an outdoor terrace, a fitness studio, and a lounge with a golf simulator.

    On the other hand, Fibergrate Structures, a manufacturer of composite building materials and anti-slip surfaces, is moving its headquarters from Prestonwood Tower at 5151 Belt Line Road in North Dallas to FarmWorks One at The Farm, JaRyCo's mixed-use development at 1262 Blue Tractor Lane in Allen. Fibergrate will occupy a 15,000 square feet space in the 102,000-square-foot office building, which will have private balconies, a fitness center, and a three-story atrium lobby. The building is slated to be completed early next year. Fibergrate President Eric Breiner emphasized the importance of a "campus-like environment" to accommodate the company's plans for expansion. The Farm is a sprawling complex planned for 1.6 million square feet of office space, 142,000 square feet of retail, 60,000 square feet of restaurants, a 150-key hotel, 112 townhomes, 2,400 apartments, and senior housing.
