Fehmi Karahan and KDC have unveiled a proposal to develop 11 million square feet of office space within the massive 2,545-acre Fields development. This project aims to attract major corporations by integrating large office footprints with significant residential amenities.

The move targets companies seeking high-quality office space and proximity to residential hubs. Developers are leveraging the rapid population growth in the surrounding area to anchor the site as a premier commercial destination.
The Fields project spans 2,545 acres with a valuation between $10 billion and $15 billion. Fields West is currently 75% preleased with 44 signed retail and restaurant leases, while The Wentwood apartment project will add 1,150 residential units.
