The company must also employ 10,000 full-time workers at the complex and occupy it for at least 25 years.<\/p>\n<p>AT&amp;T\u2019s departure could scoop a hefty chunk out of Dallas\u2019 hollowing urban core. AT&amp;T is the largest publicly traded company in Dallas by employee count, according to the publication. Spatially, AT&amp;T occupies about 3 million square feet of office space in the city, more than any other private employer, <a href=\"https:\/\/therealdeal.com\/texas\/2026\/02\/18\/plano-dangles-20m-incentive-package-to-land-atts-1-4b-hq\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">according to CoStar<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The company has been headquartered in Dallas since it moved from San Antonio in 2008, the outlet reported.
