​An international Catholic health system, CHRISTUS Health recently inaugurated its new 15-story corporate headquarters in the Las Colinas Urban Center. This is the first high-rise office project in the area in over three decades. Nearly 2,000 employees will occupy the new building, expanding the health system's Irving headquarters by nearly a third.

CHRISTUS Health has experienced significant growth in recent years, nearly doubling its workforce since relocating its headquarters from San Antonio to Las Colinas a decade ago. The 460,000-square-foot tower was developed in partnership with Fidelis Healthcare Partners and is next to a 10-story parking garage and includes state-of-the-art amenities.

The building's unique design features a blue-tinted glass exterior and a 109-seat chapel on the first floor, reflecting the organization's faith-based mission. It also includes a heritage center commemorating the history of the three congregations that formed the CHRISTUS organization. Additionally, the tower will offer a third-floor common area, a large conference center, and outdoor terrace areas with views of Las Colinas' central business district.

The Irving city council offered economic incentives of nearly $4.9 million to encourage CHRISTUS Health to build its headquarters in Las Colinas. This demonstrates the city's commitment to retaining CHRISTUS Health and supporting local businesses.

The move to the new headquarters is a significant step for CHRISTUS Health, symbolizing its 150-year legacy and commitment to its associates and global mission.
