Dallas–Fort Worth has become one of the fastest-growing business ecosystems in the United States. Major corporations continue relocating headquarters to North Texas, venture-backed startups are scaling, and entrepreneurs from across the country are increasingly choosing Dallas as the place to build.

In cities with strong business communities, certain environments naturally become gathering places—spaces where founders, executives, and operators work alongside one another and ideas move quickly between companies.

In 2026, Kiln, a premium flexible workspace brand, will open two locations in the Dallas metroplex designed to bring ambitious teams into the same professional environment.

The company’s entry into Dallas–Fort Worth marks its first expansion into the Texas market and reflects a long-term investment in one of the country’s most dynamic business regions.

Kiln plans to launch two locations across the metroplex:
• Kiln Preston Hollow — opening Spring 2026 at The Hill
• Kiln Plano — opening Fall/Winter 2026 at The Shops at Legacy North

Together, the two locations will establish Kiln’s first network in North Texas, placing the company within two of the region’s most active business districts.

A workplace built around the people inside it

Kiln’s model begins with a simple belief: the value of a workplace is shaped less by square footage and more by the people it brings together.

Rather than focusing solely on office space, Kiln environments are designed to attract founders, executives, operators, and teams building ambitious companies—creating a professional atmosphere where proximity to other high-performing people becomes part of the experience.

“Great companies are rarely built in isolation,” said Arian Lewis, CEO and co-founder of Kiln. “They’re built in environments where ambitious people push each other, share ideas, and collaborate. Our goal is to create that kind of environment here in Dallas.”

Across Kiln’s locations throughout the Western United States—including communities in Utah, Colorado, Arizona, Oregon, Montana, Nevada, Idaho, and California—that philosophy has produced workplaces where professionals from different industries and companies intersect throughout the day.

A founder may meet a future partner over coffee. A startup operator might exchange ideas with an investor in a shared lounge. Enterprise teams collaborate with advisors and clients in the same environment.

Over time, those everyday interactions create something larger than office space: a professional community shaped by shared ambition.

Why Dallas

For Kiln, Dallas–Fort Worth represents one of the most compelling business environments in the country.

The region combines population growth, a strong pipeline of university talent, and a diversified economy spanning industries such as technology, finance, healthcare, logistics, and energy.

At the same time, the metroplex contains multiple distinct professional centers—from corporate corridors in Plano and Frisco to the established business districts of Dallas.

Kiln’s strategy is to position its locations where those networks naturally overlap.

Rather than creating standalone office buildings, the company places its locations within active mixed-use districts where work, dining, retail, and daily life intersect—environments that feel embedded within the rhythm of the surrounding professional community.

Two strategic anchors across the metroplex

Instead of entering the market with a single flagship location, Kiln is launching two sites simultaneously to establish a presence across complementary business districts.

Preston Hollow — The Hill

Opening in Spring 2026, Kiln Preston Hollow will be located at The Hill, a mixed-use district in central Dallas that blends offices, restaurants, and retail.

The setting allows members to work, meet clients, and host gatherings within a walkable environment designed for daily convenience.

Plano — Shops at Legacy North

Later in 2026, Kiln Plano will open at The Shops at Legacy North, one of North Texas’ most established corporate corridors.

The area is home to major employers, growing companies, and a dense network of professionals.

Together, the Preston Hollow and Plano locations will give Kiln reach across two major centers of business activity within the metroplex.

Designed for the way modern companies work

Kiln environments are designed to function as primary workplaces rather than occasional drop-in offices. Each location combines private offices, team suites, meeting rooms, and shared workspace with hospitality-driven common areas designed to support both focused work and spontaneous interaction.

Materials, acoustics, and lighting are selected for performance as much as aesthetics. The goal is not simply to create attractive spaces, but to create environments where people can sustain productive work over time. Spatial planning balances quiet areas for concentration with social zones where conversations and introductions naturally occur.

Members use the environment in different ways. Some teams work onsite daily, while others use the space strategically—as headquarters, satellite offices, meeting hubs, hybrid models or professional bases between travel.

The common thread is intentional presence: choosing where to work based on what matters most that day.

A community of builders

Kiln’s premium positioning also shapes the experience inside the space.

Membership tends to attract founders, executives, operators, creatives, and teams building high-growth or high-impact companies. The concentration of experienced operators and decision-makers creates an environment where proximity to momentum becomes part of the workplace itself.

Each location includes a dedicated community leadership team responsible for hosting events, facilitating introductions, and helping members connect with others across industries. Over time, those interactions often evolve into partnerships, mentorship, and long-term business relationships.

A long-term commitment to North Texas

Kiln’s expansion into Dallas–Fort Worth reflects a long-term view of the region’s economic trajectory. The company sees North Texas as a market where flexible workspace can support both emerging companies and established enterprises adapting to new work patterns.

As the Preston Hollow and Plano locations open, Kiln plans to integrate with local founder networks, professional organizations, and innovation communities across the metroplex. The goal is for each location to become more than simply an office environment.

Instead, Kiln aims to create spaces where the region’s next generation of companies—and the people building them—naturally gather.
