New York City-based Morgan Stanley officially announced plans to establish a U.S. hub in Dallas on Monday, marking the latest addition to the growing Y\u2019all Street financial services corridor.<\/p>\n

The hub, backed by more than $62 million in state and city funding, will bring 1,500 jobs to Dallas by 2031 and more than 3,800 jobs by 2035, Morgan Stanley said.<\/p>\n

The expansion represents \u201canother marquee win\u201d for Dallas, John Boyd Jr., principal at corporate site selection and economic consulting firm The Boyd Co., told Dallas Innovates. It also signals the city\u2019s core \u201cis fully participating in the tsunami of investment \u2014 not just North Texas submarkets like Plano, Frisco and Westlake,\u201d Boyd said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMorgan Stanley adds another major piece to the Y\u2019all Street storyline, making it much more than just a nickname,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is becoming a very real financial industry hub.\u201d<\/p>\n

Job growth<\/p>\n

Morgan Stanley said it will invest $684 million in the hub. At first, it will lease roughly 255,000 square feet at Fountain Place downtown. In 2031, it expects to move into a 700,000-square-foot campus planned for Uptown. City and state officials estimate the project will attract more than $1.3 billion in direct and indirect capital investments.<\/p>\n

The impact of Morgan Stanley\u2019s hub will go beyond the thousands of employees who will work in Uptown, Boyd said. Dallas-Fort Worth\u2019s growing cluster of financial services heavyweights makes it easier for companies in the sector to justify locating in North Texas and to recruit talent here, he said. It also creates demand for companies in the legal, accounting, consulting, recruiting, technology, real estate, hospitality and executive housing sectors.<\/p>\n

\u201cOpportunity\u2019s address is now Y\u2019all Street,\u201d Gov. Greg Abbott said in a statement about the Morgan Stanley expansion.<\/p>\n

Fueling the financial talent pipeline<\/p>\n

Eric Grossman, Morgan Stanley\u2019s executive vice president, chief legal officer and chief administrative officer, said in a statement that opportunities for \u201cgrowth, innovation and talent\u201d helped spur the company\u2019s decision to establish a hub in Dallas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe message to the business world is clear: Dallas has become one of America\u2019s premier destinations for financial services and a place where ambitious companies come to build their future,\u201d Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson said in a statement.<\/p>\n

JPMorgan Chase, which employs more than 17,000 people in North Texas, is another financial giant that has recognized the talent available in DFW, Boyd said. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon \u201chas underscored the fact that financial firms like his and others increasingly recognize that they can place sophisticated, high-value operations in Dallas at enormous scale without sacrificing access to talent,\u201d Boyd said.<\/p>\n

Despite Dimon and other executives championing Dallas, Boyd does not believe the city will replace New York City as the country\u2019s No. 1 financial services center. But he said Big D is emerging as a viable Big Apple alternative, as are cities like Charlotte, North Carolina; Miami; and Nashville, Tennessee.<\/p>\n

\u2018Another center of excellence\u2019<\/p>\n

The impact of Y\u2019all Street was among the themes at the Dallas Regional Chamber\u2019s Tomorrow Summit earlier this month. The Sept. 16 event brought together business and civic leaders to discuss forces shaping the region\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n

At the event, Rachel Racz, president of Dallas-based Nasdaq Texas and senior vice president of listings, said the real power behind Y\u2019all Street isn\u2019t in the companies that choose to list their stocks on Texas exchanges or the financial services powerhouses that set up shop in Dallas. Rather, she said, Y\u2019all Street will truly arrive when those companies make an impact.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will matter when capital markets decisions are made here, when fundraising decisions are made here, when capital is injected into companies from here \u2026 And I think we\u2019ll start seeing that within the next five years,\u201d Racz said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some people incorrectly view Y\u2019all Street as \u201ctoo small,\u201d Racz said. \u201cTo me, Y\u2019all Street is another center of excellence in the United States of America,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

That center of excellence continues to expand. While Dallas-Fort Worth represents 27% of the Texas population, it accounts for 41% of the state\u2019s jobs in financial services, Mike Rosa, the Dallas Regional Chamber\u2019s senior vice president of economic development, said at the event.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other major financial services companies in DFW include Charles Schwab, Citi, Fidelity Investments, GM Financial, Nasdaq Texas<\/a>, NYSE Texas<\/a>, Santander Consumer USA, Toyota Financial Services, TXSE<\/a> and Wells Fargo. Bank of America and Goldman Sachs are stepping up their North Texas presence with trophy office projects under construction in Uptown.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg takes note\u00a0<\/p>\n

In yet another sign of Y\u2019all Street\u2019s ascendance, Bloomberg will hold the inaugural Bloomberg Invest Dallas event<\/a> on Oct. 26 and 27 at The Joule hotel.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg said the gathering will assemble leaders in investment, public and private markets, banking, securities exchanges and other sectors. Among the planned topics: how to capitalize on the \u201cDFW wealth influx.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scheduled speakers include Ross Perot Jr., chairman of The Perot Cos. and Hillwood; Elaine Agather, global vice chairwoman of J.P. Morgan Private Bank and chairwoman of the Dallas region for JPMorgan Chase; James Lee, chairman and CEO of TXSE Group, which operates the Dallas-based Texas Stock Exchange; and Lynn Martin, president of NYSE Group.<\/p>\n
