The asset offers an exceptional location along the Dallas North Toll way just north of LBJ Freeway in the heart of business and tourist trade in Dallas. This location provides a strong amenity base, including the Dallas Galleria Mall and Village on the Parkway, its proximity to the city’s premier residential areas (Park Cities, Preston Hollow, Plano and Frisco) and efficient access to all of the city’s primary commercial centers, including DFW International Airport, Addison Airport, Legacy Business Park and Preston Center. Stanford Corporate Centre is home to SoftLayer, iHeart Media Dallas, Academy, and PBK Architects.

Telos Fitness Center was designed to reflect many international best practices. The facility blends state-of-the-art fitness equipment and the professional programming of a world class training center, with the luxury, comfort and service of a premier spa. Telos offers a distinctive fitness environment that provides its clients with a sense of warmth and belonging, while simultaneously delivering superior exercise experiences to transform their health and fitness.
