By Scott Baltic, Contributing Editor<\/i><\/p>\n

Toyota Motor Co. has selected KDC Real Estate Development & Investments, of Dallas, to develop its new North American headquarters campus in the new Legacy West development in Plano, Texas, KDC announced Thursday.<\/p>\n

The new headquarters will consolidate about 2,000 employees from Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. in Torrance, Calif.; about 1,000 from Toyota Financial Services, also in Torrance; a further 1,000 employees from Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc., in Erlanger, Ky.; and a smaller number from Toyota Motor North America in New York City.<\/p>\n

Toyota recently finalized the purchase of the site and expects to begin occupying the campus in late 2016 or early 2017.<\/p>\n

A KDC spokesperson told Commercial Property Executive<\/i> that no contractor or architect has yet been selected, nor has a date been set to break ground.<\/p>\n

CPE<\/i> reported in late April that Toyota was planning on consolidating its various headquarters in Plano and that KDC appeared to be the project\u2019s likely developer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

JLL represented Toyota in its national search for a new headquarters site, through a team led by Meredith O\u2019Connor and Michael Sessa in Chicago and Paul Whitman and Brad Selner in Dallas.<\/p>\n

It was only three weeks ago that the City of Plano approved the approximately 240-acre Legacy West development, which consists of so-far-unused land around the JC Penney corporate headquarters campus and down the street from the Legacy Town Center retail mall. An unconfirmed figure of $2 billion has been put to the Legacy West project as a whole.<\/p>\n

The Toyota campus is across the street from where FedEx Office will also have a new headquarters.<\/p>\n

In addition to its national experience, KDC has been involved in a number of large CRE projects in the Dallas\u2013Fort Worth Metroplex, including an \u201curban village\u201d of office, retail and residences currently under development in Legacy West near the 100-acre Toyota headquarters site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
