AT&T is leaving its longtime Dallas HQ for a new North Texas location

In a message to AT&T employees, CEO John Stankey said the company will construct a new company headquarters.

DALLAS — AT&T, one of North Texas’s biggest employers, is moving its headquarters from Downtown Dallas to Plano, the company announced. 

In a message to AT&T employees, CEO John Stankey said the company will construct its new company headquarters at 5400 Legacy Drive in Plano. 

The new corporate campus will span across 54 acres and give the company enough room to consolidate all its Dallas-Fort Worth administrative space into one location, according to the announcement. The company currently has three campuses in Dallas, Plano and Irving. 

The company currently has about 10,000 employees working at its global headquarters in Dallas, according to the City of Dallas’ Office of Economic Development. 

“The nature of the company and our work have both evolved significantly since we moved our headquarters to Dallas in 2008, but what hasn’t changed is our belief and confidence in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex as the right place to operate a thriving multinational corporation,” Stankey said. 

AT&T is targeting a partial occupancy in the new space by late 2028, he added.
