"Our Dallas office outgrew its prior space, and The Colony offered a more central location for our customers and employees. Working with the City's staff was extremely easy and enjoyable. Their involvement from the initial meetings was critical in our decision-making process to select The Colony over other options we had. We now have a brand new facility in The Cascades to showcase to our existing customers and new prospects. We were able to design our facility so that it would function as an office work space and enduser demo facility, which is critical to our success."
