The telecom giant said Monday it plans to move its global headquarters to a newly constructed corporate campus in Plano, Texas, starting in 2028.<\/p>\n
The new global headquarters would consolidate three existing locations in the Dallas area, including the downtown skyscraper that has been AT&T’s home since 2008.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson told Business Insider that the new facilities will be designed for “collaboration, innovation, and engagement,” and that the company still believes the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area is\u00a0a good location\u00a0<\/a>for business<\/a>.<\/p>\n Like many companies<\/a> that have instituted full-time return-to-office policies, AT&T has experienced shortages of workspace and parking<\/a>. AT&T said it has been developing the plan for the new headquarters for the past year.<\/p>\n Several north Dallas suburbs are among the fastest-growing cities<\/a> and towns in the US, and AT&T’s spokesperson said the new campus will be closer to where many employees live.<\/p>\n In a memo to employees, which Business Insider obtained, CEO John Stankey acknowledged feedback about expectations for “well-maintained and functional workspaces” that were raised in an engagement survey<\/a> last year.<\/p>\n “This is an investment intended to put the employee experience at the center of our workspace,” Stankey said.<\/p>\n Read the full memo here:<\/p>\n A New AT&T Global Headquarters in Plano<\/p>\n
