October 31, 2014

Omni-Frisco-Hotel-rendering-400The Dallas Cowboys and Omni Hotels & Resorts have announced that they will partner to build a luxurious hotel at Cowboys Headquarters in Frisco, Texas. The Omni property will be one of the only full-service upscale hotels in the area, and serve as a cornerstone of the mixed-use development, which will be anchored by the Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters and Frisco’s Multi-use Event Center. The publicly owned, 12,000-seat multipurpose event center will be used by the City of Frisco and Frisco Independent School District (FISD) to host various activities including athletic competitions, graduations and other special events. The Dallas Cowboys will also use the event center as its training facility.

The Omni Frisco Hotel will feature 300 guest rooms, meeting space and a ballroom, and several food and beverage experiences, including a rooftop pool deck. The hotel will serve meeting groups, as well as business and leisure travelers alike, including visitors attending Cowboys training camp, as well as the many events and activities hosted by the City of Frisco and FISD at the events and sports facility. Guests may also enjoy the retail and dining establishments that will be adjacent to the hotel.

Located on a 90-acre site at the northwest corner of Warren Parkway and the Dallas North Tollway, the Cowboys World Headquarters will be the new home to the NFL team’s entire football operations, including administrative offices, coaches’ offices and the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. The mixed-use development will be built on approximately 66 acres remaining of the 90-acre tract. Planned uses for the development also include additional corporate offices, retail and restaurants.

As one of the fastest growing communities in Texas, Frisco’s population grew 247 percent from 2000 to 2009, making it the fastest-growing city in America for the decade. Frisco also has experienced a renaissance as a top destination for travelers. According to a study commissioned by the Frisco Convention & Visitors Bureau, approximately 4.98 million people visited the city during the FY 2013 and spent nearly $1.4 billion.

“We knew we had a world-class partner with the Dallas Cowboys, and now we have a world-class hotel partner in Omni,” said Mayor Maher Maso. “This partnership marks a significant milestone in the development of an exciting, unique project. The synergy surrounding this mixed-use development is building upon Frisco’s growing reputation as a vibrant community offering something for everyone, whether you’re a conventioneer, sports enthusiast or looking for family friendly entertainment. We’re extremely excited to work together to deliver a first-class hotel facility to our community — something all residents in Frisco can be proud of, and ultimately benefit from.”

Ground broke on the Cowboys World Headquarters on August 22, 2014. The Omni Frisco Hotel is expected to break ground in the spring of 2015, with a scheduled opening set for early 2017.
