Sunbelt Rentals – Grapevine Campus
As Sunbelt Rentals continues to expand its reach, the company invests in facilities that enhance operations and customer experience. A key milestone in this effort was the development of a 23-acre regional campus in Grapevine, Texas, strategically positioned near DFW Airport. CESO was honored to support Sunbelt Rentals in bringing this vision to life, providing interior and architectural design solutions that align with the company’s mission and growth strategy.
At the heart of the campus is a three-story, 41,790-square-foot regional headquarters and training center designed to meet LEED Gold standards – an accreditation important to Sunbelt’s corporate sustainability initiatives. While the building serves as a strategic administrative hub, it was also developed to mirror the functionality and intent of their Charlotte headquarters, incorporating a café, gym, conference room, and equipment demonstration areas.
A commitment to sustainability and innovation was central to the design. As the project neared completion, the decision to pursue LEED certification introduced challenges late in the timeline, requiring a coordinated effort between CESO, Emerald Environmental, and Sunbelt Rentals. To achieve certification, the design team implemented solar shading and daylighting strategies, incorporating light shelves that direct natural light deeper into the building’s interior, reducing reliance on artificial lighting. The mechanical and air filtration systems were carefully engineered to improve indoor air quality, ensuring an energy-efficient approach tailored to occupant well-being. Locally sourced, low-VOC materials were selected to minimize environmental impact, while electric vehicle charging stations and bike racks supported alternative transportation options for employees and visitors. Additionally, photovoltaic panels on the roof contributed to energy efficiency, reinforcing Sunbelt Rentals’ commitment to environmental responsibility.
The surrounding campus features four specialty rental stores, ranging from 12,000 to 22,000 square feet, each tailored to a specific area of equipment expertise. This multi-building site consolidates regional equipment needs into one location, offering a fairly wide spectrum of rental solutions for the construction industry. Through close collaboration with Sunbelt Rentals, contractors, and sustainability consultants, CESO delivered a campus that blends aesthetic appeal, operational efficiency, and environmental stewardship, setting a new standard for Sunbelt Rentals’ future developments. The Grapevine campus represents an exciting step forward for Sunbelt Rentals, reinforcing their commitment to innovation and long-term growth.
