Accelerate Investment Partners is set to augment its Plano headquarters by an additional 5,730 square feet. As revealed in planning documents, the construction for this extension is due to commence in June, with a projected completion date in October.
Brenda Hurst, the Chief Operating Officer of Accelerate, previously stated that upon completion, the expanded space will serve as the workplace for 18 employees.
“The need for the new space is due to the growth of our Plano staff as well as to create additional meeting spaces and provide flex offices for remote employees to use when they visit our headquarters,” Hurst said in a statement to the Dallas Business Journal.
“Our expansions into New York and Los Angeles provide collaborative working spaces for employees who were working remotely in those geographic areas. We do not have current plans to add offices in additional markets, but we will review the need as we continue to grow.”
