Vari Opens New Corporate Office as it Celebrates 10th Anniversary

VariSpace Coppell is 3^rd Fitwel-Certified Building in DFW, Driven by Vari's Commitment
to Healthy Workspaces

COPPELL, Texas, Oct. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Vari, the Texas-based office furniture company, opens the doors of a new global headquarters, VariSpace Coppell. Vari built the 180,000-square-foot VariSpace Coppell from the ground up in only one year.

The new building is a certified healthy and green work environment. It is the third building in DFW to receive Fitwel certification, which developers and workplace strategists have embraced as part of the growing trend to promote healthy workplaces.

Setting the Standard for the Future of Work

Located at 450 Freeport Pkwy in Coppell, Texas, VariSpace Coppell stands three stories tall on a 10-acre property. Amenities include large exterior balconies, an open lobby concept, open staircases, touch-free building apps, a fitness facility, garage parking, grab-and-go food services and Vari workspace products.

VariSpace Coppell opens at a time when Dallasleads the nation in the return to office, ranking in the top three cities with the highest percentage of workers back in-office. The building's space-as-a-service model allows companies to tailor workspaces to their specific needs.

Vari will occupy 80,000 square feet of the building. More than 90% of its workforce (300 employees) will office out of the new headquarters. The remaining 100,000 square feet are being marketed by Johnny Johnson and Chris Taylor of Cushman & Wakefield.

"We love the location in the heart of DFW with access to amazing schools and a vibrant community," said Vari CEO and co-founder Jason McCann. "We look forward to sharing VariSpace Coppell with other fast-growing companies who are seeking an innovative, fully furnished space."

Leading the Way with Fitwel Certification

For developers, the Fitwel standard is a blueprint for making positive changes that are scientifically proven to enhance occupant health and wellbeing. VariSpace Coppell has achieved Fitwel certification based on wellness criteria such as:

• Policies encouraging the use of stairwells over elevators
• Access to nature and green spaces
• Provision of standing desks, collaboration spaces, and a healthy marketplace
• Indoor and outdoor amenities such as a fitness center and walking trails

VariSpace Coppell

VariSpace Coppell follows the success of VariSpace Las Colinas and VariSpace Southlake. All VariSpace locations offer first-class amenities and flexible space solutions in Class A buildings.

BOKA Powell designed the building. Corgan designed interiors and Adolfson & Peterson (AP) constructed the building. Representatives of the companies said:

• "The pandemic rapidly changed the rules for innovation and flexibility when it came to workplace structure and interaction," said Bob Lemke, vice president of operations at AP. "This is a timely project as the adaptability of the workplace becomes front and center for many operations."
• "As the building design architect, we tried to capture the 'disruptor' spirit of Vari," said Chris Barnes, partner at BOKA Powell. "In delivering a headquarters building, we wanted the identity of Vari's brand and their culture to be evident. The new building expresses a collaborative and open workplace environment that is equally efficient and evocative."
• "VariSpace Coppell continues to probe the future of how we work and look for a better way to deliver office space with best-in-class amenities and flexible lease terms," said Marti DuBuisson, vice president at Corgan. "Vari will test their vision firsthand as the anchor tenant of VariSpace Coppell — welcoming employees and visitors into a light-filled space that is optimized for collaboration and connection."
• "Cushman & Wakefield is proud to represent a landlord that provides flexibility and innovation to its tenants," said Johnny Johnson, executive managing director, Cushman & Wakefield. "It's exciting to be a part of the future of office space."
