DALLAS — Telecommunications company AT&T, which has called Dallas home for nearly two decades, says it’s moving its headquarters to Plano to create a corporate campus for its Dallas-Fort Worth employees.
According to CBS News, the new headquarters will span 54 acres at 5400 Legacy Drive, near Plano’s Legacy West shopping and dining district. It’s expected to open in 2028.
AT&T CEO John Stankey said the location will provide room to “cost-effectively consolidate” the company’s administrative space, which is spread across the DFW metroplex — including the three largest locations in Central Dallas, Irving and Plano.
Stankey said the decision was made to invest in employee experience and came after one year of deliberation.
“As we worked to retain AT&T, it became clear that its current leaders preferred a large horizontal, suburban-style campus rather than the skyscrapers that define our city center,” Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson said in a statement to CBS.
