WiredScore is the pioneer behind the Wired Certification standard, which evaluates and distinguishes Internet connectivity in commercial buildings. The Wired Certification seal signifies that buildings have been independently evaluated and guaranteed to provide Internet infrastructure that today's businesses require.

“With the achievement of Silver Wired Certification, 3400 at CityLine signals to the market that they are prepared to meet the digital needs of today's tenants from day one,” said Barendrect. “Businesses leasing office space can rest assured that steps have been taken to implement the best practices for connectivity design into this development to make it truly future-proofed for the needs of tenants.”

Wired Certification provides the only certification for rating the infrastructure, connectivity and technological capacity of commercial buildings. WiredScore launched Wired Certification in 2013 in partnership with Mayor Bloomberg and New York City. Since launch, more than 317 million square feet of commercial real estate has been Wired Certified across the United States. International demand for the digital connectivity rating platform has resulted in the company's expansion to Europe, with the opening offices in the United Kingdom, France and soon Germany.

“3400 at CityLine was designed to revolutionize the traditional office building and connectivity is central to that ambition. Today's tenants rely on connectivity in every aspect of operations and modern building management systems need a resilient connectivity backbone to function. We are proud to bring the first Wired Certified ground-up development to Texas,” says Will Paton with Transwestern.

Other amenities at the development will include a 1-acre outdoor event lawn equipped to host corporate functions as well as daytime dining under an expansive trellis system, shuttle access to provide connections throughout CityLine and the neighboring DART rail station, a full-service deli complete with tenant lounge, fitness center with showers and changing rooms, direct hike and bike trail access to the 40-plus mile North Dallas trail network as well as the adjacent 100-acre Spring Creek Nature Preserve, onsite management services and visibility along Dallas' most traveled thoroughfare.

RICHARDSON, TX—The 313,000-square-foot office building at 3400 at CityLine is a transit-oriented development. It is one of the largest in the Dallas-Fort Worth region with more than 3 million square feet of office space, 1,400 multifamily units, 25 restaurants and a Whole Foods-anchored retail center. The project is currently in lease-up, having broken ground in second quarter 2016 and is slated for delivery in September of this year.

In addition, the CityLine development has achieved wired certification for developments based on planned connectivity features that will ultimately ensure the building will fit current and future needs of commercial tenants, according to WiredScore, Transwestern Development Company and UBS. Six Internet service providers, AT&T, XO Communications, Time Warner, CenturyLink, Unite Private Networks and Windstream have confirmed service to the building's tenants with business grade fiber-optic Internet access. There is also abundant conduit capacity connecting the building and street infrastructure, enabling seamless connections to Internet service provider networks and reducing the cost of service to tenants.

Tenants will have access to diverse points of entry into the building to set up both primary and back-up Internet service connections through independent entrances. In addition, there is a well-planned telecom room within the building to enable providers to place equipment within a secure environment, mitigating the risk of a service outage due to unexpected environmental interference or loss of power. Building management has also put a standard telecom agreement in place to streamline the right of entry process for new carriers contracting with future tenants to reduce unnecessary delays due to contract negotiations.

“Transwestern and UBS are creating a dynamic workplace that fosters creativity and inspiration with the design of 3400 at CityLine,” Arie Barendrect, CEO and founder of WiredScore, tells GlobeSt.com. “In addition to the vast array of available amenities, the partnership has invested in infrastructure that exceeds the technological needs of today's businesses, an achievement that we've recognized by presenting the building with the first Wired Certification for a ground-up development in Texas.”
