AT&T has begun construction on a new global headquarters campus in Plano, Texas, marking a major corporate real estate investment in the Dallas-Fort Worth office market. The company has officially broken ground on the planned $1.35 billion project, which is intended to consolidate its area workforce and serve as a flagship hub for its operations.
The development will span 54 acres and is designed to deliver approximately 2.2 million square feet across seven buildings. AT&T plans to bring about 10,000 employees from across the Dallas-Fort Worth region onto a single, integrated campus. The horizontally oriented layout is intended to support collaboration and innovation by organizing workspaces and on-site amenities around employee needs.
Positioned as a workplace of the future, the campus will be used to showcase how AT&T connectivity can be deployed at scale in an office environment. The site will be equipped with AT&T fiber and wireless infrastructure aimed at providing the speed, capacity, and low latency required for AI, real-time collaboration tools, and other emerging workplace technologies. These systems are expected to underpin day-to-day operations across the new headquarters.
A key feature of the project is an approximately 250-foot working cell tower on the property, which will operate in combination with fiber and 5G coverage throughout the campus. In addition to serving employees and the company’s technology initiatives on-site, the tower and supporting network are expected to enhance wireless connectivity in the surrounding community.
AT&T has maintained its corporate presence in North Texas since 2008, and the new headquarters represents a continued commitment to the region. The company anticipates welcoming its first employees to the Plano campus in the second half of 2028, aligning the multi-year construction timeline with its long-term workplace and technology strategy.
Once complete, the Plano headquarters is expected to centralize a significant portion of AT&T’s Dallas-Fort Worth operations within a single, large-scale office environment. By combining modern workspace design with extensive digital infrastructure, the project is intended to support employee collaboration, talent attraction and retention, and the deployment of next-generation connectivity solutions across the corporate campus.
