FHLB Pickleball Courts

The Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas is renovating a section of its parking garage top floor at 8500 Freeport Pkwy in Irving, Texas. The project, filed as FHLB Pickleball Courts, involves the addition of three pickleball courts and one basketball court on the 14,792 sq ft space. This renovation is estimated at $745,000, which works out to $50 per square foot.

Johnston LLC is the design firm of record for this project. The registered accessibility specialist is Casey Joe Anderson. The work is privately funded on private land for private use. The project was registered with TDLR in September 2026, and plan review is pending. Construction is scheduled to begin in October 2026, with completion targeted for January 2027.

Project Context and Scale

In Dallas County, the median estimated cost for renovation and alteration filings is $249,000. This project’s cost is above the county median for its type, placing it in the top quarter. The median size for similar filings is 4,226 sq ft, making this 14,792 sq ft project significantly larger. The median cost per square foot in the county is $72, so the $50 per square foot for this project is below that median. The scheduled build window of 98 days is close to the county median of 92 days.

Johnston LLC has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $9,835,250. These include the Samsung HQ in Plano, TIAA Financial Services in Lewisville, and the Alcon Experience Center in Fort Worth. The surrounding ZIP code 75063 has a population of about 45,486 and a median household income of $117,583, according to U.S. Census estimates.

The Dallas County unemployment rate was 3.3 percent in July 2026, higher than a year earlier. This project represents a specific amenity addition rather than a new building construction. The scope is limited to the top floor of the existing parking garage structure.
