Rubenstein acquired the 250,000-square-foot former PepsiCo campus from PepsiCo Inc. 5600 Headquarters last changed hands in 2003 when PepsiCo bought it from Citizens Telecom.
Located on a 27-acre site 20 miles from downtown Dallas, the office building at 5600 Headquarters Drive first opened in 1999. The PGAL-designed, three-story structure is a distinctive property featuring a modern design that contains three pods linked by corridors of differing levels.
Dallas-based GFF and Rubenstein Partners designed the renovation to transform the property into a new signature address. The upgrades included a new lobby, entryway, tenant lounge, coffee bar, and fitness center. Exterior improvements included a brand-new entrance façade, improved landscaping, outdoor seating areas, and pickleball courts. Construction began in September 2023 and finished in 2024.
High-density fiber cement panels are the outstanding feature of the new entrance façade. The panels have a translucent, lightly pigmented surface. Three shades of coral were installed in an intricate pattern, creating a striking façade. Installers cut the panels 6 inches high and to various lengths to create the design. 10,923 sq ft of fiber cement panels cover the façade. The panels are through-color, UV-resistant, hail-impact-resistant, non-combustible, and backed by forty-plus-year warranties.
The panels were installed using the Xkelex rainscreen substructure System. The 6-inch fiber cement panels were face-fastened with color-matched stainless steel rivets.
