The Texas Stock Exchange, known as TXSE, has finalized a headquarters lease at the Bank of America Tower at Parkside in Uptown Dallas, positioning the new exchange to begin trading in 2026. The office tower, located at 1919 Woodall Rodgers Freeway, is currently under construction and is planned to rise 30 stories. Upon its expected completion in 2027, the building is slated to be the tallest property in the Uptown Dallas submarket.
Bank of America will serve as the anchor tenant at the tower and is scheduled to occupy approximately 238,000 square feet. TXSE, which anticipates employing around 100 people, will establish its headquarters across multiple areas within the building once it delivers. The lease includes ground-floor space as well as a presence in a sky lobby located on the 12th floor.
The 12th-floor sky lobby program for TXSE is designed with several amenity components. Plans call for four terraces, a coffee and cocktail bar, a conference center, smaller chat rooms, and an executive boardroom. These spaces are intended to accommodate day-to-day headquarters operations as well as meetings and events tied to the exchange’s activities once trading commences.
TXSE’s leasing decision follows a significant capital raise backing the launch of the new exchange. According to reporting from D Magazine cited in the original article, TXSE has secured more than $270 million in funding from a group of large financial institutions. Those backers include BlackRock, Citadel Securities, Charles Schwab, Bank of America, and Goldman Sachs, reflecting broad institutional support for the platform.
The new exchange has also cleared a major regulatory milestone. Last fall, TXSE received approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission to begin operations. With that approval in hand, the exchange is moving forward toward its planned 2026 trading launch and has publicly indicated that it hopes to compete with the New York Stock Exchange.
In addition to its interior headquarters spaces, TXSE is pursuing an exterior branding element at the Bank of America Tower at Parkside. The exchange is seeking approval for an electronic ticker display to be installed on the building’s facade. The proposed ticker would be 10 feet tall and 28 feet wide, providing a visible, building-mounted display associated with TXSE’s trading activity once the exchange becomes operational.
This headquarters lease, combined with substantial institutional funding, regulatory clearance, and branding plans at a prominent Uptown Dallas office tower, marks a notable step in the build-out of TXSE’s physical and capital markets presence ahead of its anticipated 2026 launch.
