AT&T (T) on Monday announced its plans to shift its headquarters to Plano, Texas, from Dallas, becoming the latest among a slew of companies to move out of the city.
The company’s new corporate campus is planned to be built at 5400 Legacy Drive, sprawling across 54 acres, Chief Executive Officer John Stankey said in a message to employees, according to several media outlets.
“This location will provide us with the necessary room to cost-effectively consolidate all Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex administrative space, including our three largest locations in Central Dallas, Plano and Irving, and create a corporate campus designed for collaboration, innovation and engagement,” Stankey reportedly said.
The telecom firm plans to begin moving to the new office in the second half of 2028.
AT&T is reportedly one of the largest employers in downtown Dallas, with about 6,000 employees, and has had its headquarters in Dallas since 2008.
