Hershey to open 16,000-square-foot Frisco office at HALL Park

A Feb. 25 filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation shows The Hershey Co. intends to occupy about 16,000 square feet on the 12th floor of The Tower at HALL Park in Frisco, a local filing that kicked off media reports the first week of March. Star Local Media published the filing on March 3, 2026 and the item was republished by outlets including Yahoo Finance and WFAA in early March.

Reporting on the filing includes a project schedule and price estimate: "Build out on the 16,000-square-foot space should begin in April and wrap up in late summer, with an estimated price tag of $2.85 million." Multiple outlets repeated that timeline and cost, and Local Profile’s coverage described the space as transforming Class-AAA office space into a modern hub for the company’s regional workforce.

The company has tied the Frisco move to talent and strategy. "The new office adds to an existing presence in the area and fits into a strategy to support ongoing business initiatives and attract talent," a Hershey spokesperson said in republished comments, and the company projects workforce growth from about 20 employees today to roughly 65 by September 2026.

HALL Park’s role in the deal frames the broader economic context. Local Profile and HALL Group materials describe HALL Park as a 162-acre campus with a $7 billion master plan that blends office, retail and residential into mini-districts, and they pointed to food-and-beverage brands such as Chobani among other national tenants drawn to the development. Coverage emphasized that Hershey’s outpost is another sign HALL Park is luring national brands away from traditional urban cores.

Several practical details remain unresolved in public reporting. Lease terms "weren't immediately clear," and "representatives for Hall Park could not be immediately reached for comment," language repeated in Yahoo Finance and WFAA republished copy. Sources cited in early March did not identify whether Hershey leased or purchased the 12th-floor suite, who will occupy specific functions in the new office, or whether the build-out figure originates in the TDLR filing or subsequent project estimates.

Next steps for verification include obtaining the Feb. 25 TDLR filing to confirm listed project details and monitoring tenant-improvement permit filings with the City of Frisco for The Tower at HALL Park. If the $2.85 million build-out and the April-to-late-summer schedule hold, Hershey’s Frisco office will be in place in time for the company’s plan to have roughly 65 regional employees working at HALL Park by September, marking a measurable expansion of Hershey’s North Texas presence.
