WESTLAKE, TX-With the dust now settling over the land deal, Deloitte LLP is eyeing a first-quarter 2009 groundbreaking on its first leadership and development center in the world. The $300-million initiative will create a resort-style oasis on 107 acres at the center of Hillwood’s Circle T Ranch.

Jon Eisele, partner in the New York City-based global firm, says the design work should be done by late fall for the 750,000-sf to 800,000-sf development portal for its worldwide team. The decision-making process for the location began in January 2007, with six or seven cities in the Central US and Midwest vying for the win.

Sources tell GlobeSt.com that the best and final ended five months ago, tossing the win to Hillwood’s 2,500-acre Circle T off Texas 114 as buyer and seller hunkered down to push the land sale across the finish line. The best and final had pitted two sites in Dallas/Fort Worth against one in Chicago. A team from Dallas-based Staubach Co. was at Deloitte’s side for the entire process.
