A new Frisco development has landed what developers are calling a "hotel campus" with four different brands and 600 rooms.

The planned hotel complex will be part of the $1 billion Frisco Station project at the Dallas North Tollway and Warren Parkway.

The 242-acre mixed-use development wraps around the Dallas Cowboys' new Star headquarters complex.

The hotel campus will be the first phase of a mixed-use retail, office and entertainment center Frisco Station is calling The Hub.

"It not only energizes our whole mixed-use program but it also plays very well off what is happening next door at the Star," said Hillwood Properties president Mike Berry.

"This project at Frisco Station will deliver a wide variety of new hotel rooms."

The planned hotel complex will include a Marriott AC Hotel and Residence Inn, and a Canopy Hotel by Hilton and Hyatt Place Hotels.

Construction will start on three hotels -- the AC, Residence and Canopy -- in January. A groundbreaking for the Hyatt Place will be later.

"It's starting to look like a true urban zone," he said. "I haven't seen a landscape transformed like that in a long time."

Along with more than 2 million square feet of office buildings, plans for Frisco Station include more than 2,000 apartments and homes, shops, restaurants and medical buildings.
